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.

Design of Nonlinear Rotational Stiffness Using a Noncircular Pulley Spring Mechanism
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: We present a new methodology for designing a nonlinear rotational spring with a desired passive torque profile by using a noncircular pulleyspring mechanism. A synthesis procedure for the shape of the noncircular pulley ...
A Novel Joint Design for Robotic Hands With Humanlike Nonlinear Compliance
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Robotic hands are typically too rigid to react against unexpected impacts and disturbances in order to prevent damage. Human hands have great versatility and robustness due, in part, to the passive compliance at the hand ...
Series Elastic Actuators for Small-Scale Robotic Applications
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Torque control of small-scale robotic devices such as hand exoskeletons is challenging due to the unavailability of miniature and compact bidirectional torque actuators. In this work, we present a miniature Bowden-cable-based ...
Design and Performance of a Motor Driven Mechanism to Conduct Experiments With the Human Index Finger
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Passive properties of the human hands, defined by the joint stiffness and damping, play an important role in hand biomechanics and neuromuscular control. Introduction of mechanical element that generates humanlike passive ...
Design of a Single Degree-of-Freedom, Adaptable Electromechanical Gait Trainer for People With Neurological Injury
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The cost of therapy is one of the most significant barriers to recovery after neurological injury. Robotic gait trainers move the legs through repetitive, natural motions imitating gait. Recent meta-analyses conclude that ...
