Design, Analysis, and Control of a UserAdaptive Ankle Foot Orthosis
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This chapter presents the design and preliminary evaluation of a useradaptive ankle foot orthosis (AFO). To begin with, according to structural characteristics of the human ankle as well as foot dimensions of an ablebodied ...
Benefits of Active Compressor Stability Management on Turbofan Engine Operability
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Active compressor stability management can play a significant role in the intelligent control of gas turbine engines. The present work utilizes a computer simulation to illustrate the potential ...
Flood-Induced Geomorphic Change of Floodplain Extent and Depth: A Case Study of Hurricane Maria in Puerto Rico
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Rainfall from tropical cyclones (TCs) in Puerto Rico and similar environments can cause extreme riverine flooding accompanied by substantial scour, transport, and sediment deposition. These processes can alter channel and ...
Effect of a Variable-Bend Slat on Tones Due to the Cove’s Self-Excited Oscillation
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: To study the noise reduction effect of a variable-bend slat, both experimental and numerical investigations are carried out on a two-dimensional high-lift configuration with a stowed flap at varying angle of attack. With ...
Heat Transfer and Flow Friction Characteristics for Compact Cold Plates
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Both experimental and theoretical investigations on the heat transfer and flow friction characteristics of compact cold plates have been performed. From the results, the local and average temperature ...
How to Realize Volume Conservation During Finite Plastic Deformation
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Volume conservation during plastic deformation is the most important feature and should be realized in elastoplastic theories. However, it is found in this paper that an elastoplastic theory is not volume conserved if it ...
Active Compressor Stability Management Via a Stall Margin Control Mode
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: An active engine control scheme for protection against compressor instabilities such as rotating stall and surge is presented. Compressor stability detection is accomplished via a parameter known ...
Correlation Measure-Based Stall Margin Estimation for a Single-Stage Axial Compressor
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper presents a method for estimating compressor stall margin and the results of applying the estimation technique to an axial compressor rig. Stall margin estimation is accomplished through ...
Cavitation Characteristics and Hydrodynamic Radial Forces of a Reversible Pump–Turbine at Pump Mode
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: As the most critical part of a hydropower station, reversible pump–turbines (RPTs) are facing the trend of high parameterization (e.g., high head and high rotation speed) with the rapid development of hydropower, which ...
A Continuum Over Tube With Variable Stiffness for Transrectal NOTES
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The continuum over tube applied to natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (NOTES) should be flexible during insertion and provide sufficient stiffness upon arrival at the lesion. In order to satisfy these two ...
