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 and Optimization of a Contact Aided Compliant Mechanism for Passive Bending
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A contactaided compliant mechanism (CCM) called a compliant spine (CS) is presented in this paper. It is flexible when bending in one direction and stiff when bending in the opposite direction, giving it a nonlinear bending ...
Trade Space Exploration of Magnetically Actuated Origami Mechanisms
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Selffolding origami has the potential to be utilized in novel areas such as selfassembling robots and shapemorphing structures. Important decisions in the development of such applications include the choice of active ...
Special Issue: Folding Based Mechanisms and Robotics
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Over the past few decades, the centuriesold art of origami and the centuriesold practice of engineering have been mixing in ways that have proven to be both fruitful and surprising, resulting in structures and mechanisms ...
Design, Fabrication, and Modeling of an Electric–Magnetic Self-Folding Sheet
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A concept recently proposed by the authors is that of a multifield sheet that folds into several distinct shapes based on the applied field, be it magnetic, electric, or thermal. In this paper, the design, fabrication, and ...
Development and Validation of a Dynamic Model of Magneto Active Elastomer Actuation of the Origami Waterbomb Base
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Of special interest in the growing field of origami engineering is selffolding, wherein a material is able to fold itself in response to an applied field. In order to simulate the effect of active materials on an origamiinspired ...
Tuning of a Rigid-Body Dynamics Model of a Flapping Wing Structure With Compliant Joints
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A method for validating rigid-body models of compliant mechanisms under dynamic loading conditions using motion tracking cameras and genetic algorithms is presented. The compliant mechanisms are modeled using rigid-body ...
