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.

Application of Rigid Body Linkage Static Balancing Techniques to Reduce Actuation Effort in Compliant Mechanisms
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: There are analytical methods in the literature where a zerofreelength springloaded linkage is perfectly statically balanced by addition of more zerofreelength springs. This paper provides a general framework to extend these ...
Analytical Reason for Smaller Lateral Sway in Angled-Plane Scissor Linkage
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Scissor linkages are widely used with scissor links arranged in two parallel planes. When small misalignment of revolute joint axes are permissible, the linkage can undergo lateral sway. This paper, using rigid-body ...
