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.

The Interrelation between Recurrent and Capital Costs in a Solar Thermal Process Heat System
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The effect of operation and maintenance (O&M) costs on energy produced by solar collector systems is crucial to the market penetration of solar process heat as an alternative energy source. ...
Transient Response of a Latent Heat Storage Unit: An Analytical and Experimental Investigation
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: An analytical and experimental investigation of the transient thermal response of a latent heat storage unit is presented. Emphasis is placed on characterization of an entire storage unit rather ...
Mixed Layer Development in a Double-Diffusive, Thermohaline System
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A double-diffusive, thermohaline system has been studied under laboratory conditions involving uniform heating from below. Shadowgraph visualization has been used with temperature and salt concentration ...
The Influence of Two-Dimensional End Effects on the Natural Frequencies of Cantilevered Beams Weak in Shear

Combination of Biological Processes and Fuel Cells to Harvest Solar Energy
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Biomass production by micro-algae is by a factor of 10 more efficient than by plants, by which an economic process of solar energy harvesting can be established. Owing to the very low dry ...
Stability and Performance Analysis of Time Delayed Actuator Control Systems
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Time delay is a common phenomenon in robotic systems due to computational requirements and communication properties between or within highlevel and lowlevel controllers as well as the physical constraints of the actuator ...
Rotorcraft Hard Landing Mitigation Using Robotic Landing Gear
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A unique, beneficial feature of rotorcraft is their flexibility in aircrafttoground interfacing. For a variety of reasons, hard landings can occur when the descent rate of the aircraft is larger than intended. The resulting ...
The Hydrodynamic Drag on a Small Sphere in an Ionized Gas
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A theoretical and experimental study was made of the hydrodynamic drag on a small sphere moving relative to a plasma in local thermodynamic equilibrium. The results have application to velocity ...
Analytical Dynamic Modeling of Line-Focus Solar Collectors
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Solar thermal electric power and industrial process heat systems may require a constant outlet temperature from the collector field. This constant temperature is most efficiently maintained by ...
