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.

Springback Analysis and Control in Small Radius Air Bending
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A critical factor for quality small lot sheet metal production is the control of flange angles. For small radius pressbrake bending operations, i.e., punch radius less than sheet thickness, ...
Design for Assembly Factors for Large and Heavy Parts
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Traditional Design for Assembly methods are limited to part sizes between a few millimeters to a few tens of centimeters in overall size and to part weights under a few kilograms. Parts in ...
Design of a Vernier Punch and Die Set for Single-Minute Bending Set-Ups
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: An opportunity is found to reduce set-up time in sheet metal panel bending tasks by deliberately leaving gaps between a segmented punch to allow passage of a bent flange or to adjust the ...
Design of an Orthogonal Compliance for Polygonal Peg Insertion
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper addresses automatic assembly with passive rather than active compliant devices. Previous work has shown that in an ideal manufacturing environment three assembly primitives (prismatic ...
Virtual Wedging in Three-Dimensional Peg Insertion Tasks
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Quasi-static wedging of three point contacts is investigated, wherein the concepts of virtual and redundant wedging due to a resultant force falling into a frictional cone are proposed. We ...
Development of the Stiffenable Exoskeleton Device for a Colonoscopy
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Colonoscopy provides a minimally invasive tool for examining and treating the colon without surgery, but current colonoscope designs still cause a degree of pain and mechanical trauma to the ...
