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.

Effects of Coupled Extensional-Torsional Oscillations in Wire Rope During Ocean Salvage and Construction Operations
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: It is well established, and intuitively clear from the geometry of a wire rope, that a tensile load produces not only an extension but also a rotation of the rope (or a torque if both ...
Aerodynamic Approximations for Unsteady Supersonic Flow Through Ducts of Revolution
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Supersonic flow of a perfect, inviscid gas through a finite, flexible duct of revolution is considered. Internal equivalents to Lighthill’s piston theory and Ackeret’s strip theory are derived ...
An Analysis of Coupled Extensional-Torsional Oscillations in Wire Rope
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Coupled extensional-torsional behavior of wire rope is considered. Equations of motion for a straight rope section loaded simultaneously in tension and torque are derived, and constitutive equations ...
Mooring Systems: A State-of-the-Art Review
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A mooring system is any system of cables and anchors used to restrain the motion of a fixed or floating structure by transmitting the forces on the structure to the seafloor. Examples of ...
Architecture of an Expert System for Oceanographic Mooring Design
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Methods for the design and analysis of oceanographic moorings are well established (Berteaux, 1976). However, as with most engineering design problems, there are certain “rules-of-thumb” or ...
