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.

Novel Deployable Mechanisms With Decoupled Degrees of Freedom
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A novel family of deployable mechanisms (DMs) is presented. Unlike most such devices, which have one degreeoffreedom (DOF), the proposed DM can be deployed and compacted independently in two or three directions. This widens ...
Approximation of Cylindrical Surfaces With Deployable Bennett Networks
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper presents a one-degree-of-freedom network of Bennett linkages which can be deployed to approximate a cylindrical surface. The geometry of the unit mechanism is parameterized and its position kinematics is solved. ...
A Force Control Joint for Robot–Environment Contact Application
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Accurate and robust force control is still a great challenge for robot–environment contact applications, such as in situ repair, polishing, and assembly. To tackle this problem, this paper proposes a force control joint ...
A Network of Type III Bricard Linkages
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Among Bricard's overconstrained 6R linkages, the third type has two collapsed configurations, where all joint axes are coplanar. This paper presents a one-degree-of-freedom network of such linkages. Using the two coplanar ...
Design and Analysis of Reconfigurable Deployable Polyhedral Mechanisms With Straight Elements
Publisher: American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper presents the construction method of a family of reconfigurable deployable polyhedral mechanisms (RDPMs) based on straight elements. First, reconfigurable straight element (RSE) is designed from two aspects: two ...
A Force Control Joint for Robot–Environment Contact Application
Publisher: American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Accurate and robust force control is still a great challenge for robot–environment contact applications, such as in situ repair, polishing, and assembly. To tackle this problem, this paper proposes a force control joint ...
Optimization of the Rotational Asymmetric Parallel Mechanism for Hip Rehabilitation With Force Transmission Factors
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: An asymmetric three-degree-of-freedom parallel mechanism is adopted in rehabilitation robots for assisting patients suffering from stroke or trauma in the hip. It is necessary to keep its kinematic singularity out of the ...
Design and Implementation of a Synergy-Based Cable-Driven Humanoid Arm With Variable Stiffness
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Cable-driven arms have the advantages of light weight, large workspace, good compliance, high-speed, and acceleration. This paper proposes a cable-driven variable stiffness humanoid arm that can reproduce typical daily ...
A Reconfigurable Modular Fixture With Redundant Actuation
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The rapid development of the automotive industry calls for large demands for fixtures with high modularity and full flexibility. A novel reconfigurable modular fixture is proposed in this article. The fixture, which provides ...
