ASME ( American Society of Mechanical Engineers )
Description: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) is a professional association that, in its own words, "promotes the art, science, and practice of multidisciplinary engineering and allied sciences around the globe" via "continuing education, training and professional development, codes and standards, research, conferences and publications, government relations, and other forms of outreach." ASME is thus an engineering society, a standards organization, a research and development organization, a lobbying organization, a provider of training and education, and a nonprofit organization. Founded as an engineering society focused on mechanical engineering in North America, ASME is today multidisciplinary and global.

Computer Simulation of Occupant Neck Response to Airbag Deployment in Frontal Impacts
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A mathematical simulation was performed to study the potential of head and neck injury to an unbelted driver restrained by an airbag. The baseline study represented a 50th percentile male dummy ...
Human Head Dynamic Response to Side Impact by Finite Element Modeling
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The dynamic response of the human head to side impact was studied by 2-dimensional finite element modeling. Three models were formulated in this study. Model I is an axisymmetric model. It ...
Dynamic Response of the Human Head to Impact by Three-Dimensional Finite Element Analysis
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The impact response of the human head has been determined by three-dimensional finite element modeling. This model represents the essential features of a 50th percentile human head. It includes ...
The Relationship Between Loading Conditions and Fracture Patterns of the Proximal Femur
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In an attempt to test the hypothesis of spontaneous hip fracture, seven pairs of femurs, with ages ranging from 59 to 90, were tested under two loading conditions designed to simulate muscular ...
A Three-Dimensional Mathematical Simulation of Pedestrian-Vehicle Impact With Experimental Verification
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In an urban environment, pedestrians account for a disproportionately high percentage of traffic fatalities in comparison with the percentage of accidents in which they are involved, according ...
Correlation of Field Injuries and GM Hybrid III Dummy Responses for Lap-Shoulder Belt Restraint
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Simulated frontal, lap-shoulder belted, barrier impact tests were performed using a Volvo sedan and General Motors Hybrid III anthropomorphic test dummy. Swedish field accident injury data for ...
Erratum: “A Review of Biomechanical Models” (Journal of Biomechanical Engineering, 1984, 106, pp. 97–104)
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
A Technical Survey: A Review of Biomechanical Models
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper surveys biomechanical models of the nonimpact type, involving the musculo-skeletal system. Models of bones, joints and body segments, including human gait and motion of the whole body ...
Measurement of Angular Acceleration of a Rigid Body Using Linear Accelerometers
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The computation of angular acceleration of a rigid body from measured linear accelerations is a simple procedure, based on well-known kinematic principles. It can be shown that, in theory, a ...
Computation of Rigid-Body Rotation in Three-Dimensional Space From Body-Fixed Linear Acceleration Measurements
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The angular acceleration of a rigid body with respect to a body-fixed (moving) frame can be reliably computed from nine acceleration field measurements. Noncommutativity of finite rotations causes ...
