RISDesign and Realization of an Isomorphic Master-Slave Robotic System for Precise Sub-Micrometer Manipulations in Ophthalmic Surgery
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Intra-ocular surgery requires precise submicrometer manipulations within the confined ocular space. Implementing a master-slave robotic system is a potential solution. The development of master manipulators impacts the ...
The Effects of Anisotropic Surface Topography and Relative Motion on Hydrodynamic Lubrication
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: According to the extended Reynolds theory, surface roughness contributes to the pressure buildup as well as shear stress and transport in the film flow. The effect is usually quantified using pressure and shear flow factors. ...
Random Vibration Analysis of Planetary Gear Trains
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This article investigates the vibration response of a planetary gear train under excitations of both deterministic and random loads. A lumped parameter model has been used in this investigation and the random excitations ...
Detection of Atherosclerosis Through Mapping Skin Temperature Variation Caused by Carotid Atherosclerosis Plaques
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper reports the effects of atherosclerosis plaque on the human cervicum skin surface temperature. The classical Pennes bioheat equation and a 3-D model consisting of cervical vertebra, ...
Dynamic Stress on a Partially Bonded Fiber
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: that are valid in the frequency range in which the recently discussed resonance phenomenon occurs (Yang and Norris, 1991). This resonance is a rattling effect that is most prominent when the neck becomes very thin, and can occur...
Analyzing Hydrological Regime Variability and Optimizing Environmental Flow Allocation to Lake Ecosystems in a Sustainable Water Management Framework: Model Development and a Case Study for China’s Baiyangdian Watershed
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This study analyzed the variability of the hydrological regime in a Chinese watershed and in the available water resources and used this data to develop an optimal environmental flow allocation model that lets decision-makers ...
Evaluation on the Power Generation Capacity of an Implantable Thermoelectric Generator Driven by Radioisotope Fuel
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Embedding a thermoelectric generator (TEG) in a biological body is a promising way to supply electronic power in the long term for an implantable medical device (IMD). The unique merit of such a method lies in its direct ...
Fast Generation of Planar Microstructured Surfaces by Elliptical Vibration Texturing
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Microstructured surfaces have extensive applications in a wide array of fields due to their improved functional performance. Existing manufacturing methods for these surfaces fall short of efficiency for volume production ...
Single-Vertex Multicrease Rigid Origami With Nonzero Thickness and Its Transformation Into Deployable Mechanisms
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The radial folding ratio of single-vertex multicrease rigid origami, from the folded configuration to the unfolded configuration, is satisfactory. In this study, we apply two approaches to add nonzero thickness for this ...
An Approach to Designing Deployable Mechanisms Based on Rigid Modified Origami Flashers
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Flasher, which has been used in space engineering, is a class of origami patterns. After modifying and introducing cuts for the flasher pattern, we add nonzero thickness to the flasher and taper its panels. We find that, ...
