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.

A State-Space Approach to the Synthesis of Random Vertical and Crosslevel Rail Irregularities
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Solution of rail vehicle dynamics models by means of numerical simulation has become more prevalent and more sophisticated in recent years. At the same time, analysts and designers are increasingly ...
Wheel Wear Predictions for Tangent Track Running
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Wear of wheels and rails is a problem of substantial magnitude for railways throughout the world. Efforts to control wear by using new wheels profiled to match worn wheels have met with a ...
Experimental Investigation of Freight Car Lateral Dynamics
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Field tests and accompanying data analysis to characterize the stable and hunting behavior of freight cars are discussed. These tests confirmed the fundamentally nonlinear nature of the conventional ...
Bayesian Estimation of Transit Rail Vehicle Parameters
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Bayesian parameter estimation is a powerful and versatile method with good convergence properties. This paper describes the use of the Bayesian method to estimate the parameters of a transit ...
