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.

Kinematic Study of the Original and Revised General Line Symmetric Bricard 6R Linkages
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In this paper, the solutions to closure equations of the original general linesymmetric Bricard 6R linkage are derived through matrix method. Two independent linkage closures are found in the original general linesymmetric ...
Deployable Prismatic Structures With Rigid Origami Patterns
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Rigid origami inspires new design technology in deployable structures with large deployable ratio due to the property of flat foldability. In this paper, we present a general kinematic model of rigid origami pattern and ...
An Extended Family of Rigidly Foldable Origami Tubes
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Rigidly foldable origami tubes with open ends have been reported in the past. Here, using a mechanism construction process, we show that these tubes can be used as building blocks to form new tubes that are rigidly foldable ...
Rigid Foldability of Generalized Triangle Twist Origami Pattern and Its Derived 6R Linkages
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Rigid origami is a restrictive form of origami that permits continuous motion between folded and unfolded states along the predetermined creases without stretching or bending of the facets. It has great potential in ...
Vertex-Splitting on a Diamond Origami Pattern
Publisher: American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A diamond origami pattern is a well-known origami pattern consisting of identical six-crease vertices. As each vertex can be modeled as a spherical 6R linkage with three degrees of freedom (DOF), the tessellated pattern ...
Thick-Panel Origami Tubes With Hexagonal Cross-Sections
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Rigidly foldable origami tubes can be kinematically regarded as assemblies of spherical linkages. They have exhibited excellent properties for deployable structures. Yet, for the engineering applications, the corresponding ...
