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.

Optical Design of a Novel Two-Stage Solar Trough Concentrator Based on Pneumatic Polymeric Structures
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: An innovative concept for fabricating solar trough concentrators based on pneumatic polymer mirrors supported on precast concrete frames is presented. Optical aberration is corrected by means of ...
Experimental and Numerical Heat Transfer Analysis of an Air-Based Cavity-Receiver for Solar Trough Concentrators
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: We report on the field testing of a 42 m-long full-scale solar receiver prototype installed on a 9 m-aperture solar trough concentrator. The solar receiver consists of a cylindrical cavity ...
