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.

Understanding the Impact of Subjective Uncertainty on Architecture and Supplier Identification in Early Complex Systems Design
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The Architecture and Supplier Identification Tool (ASIT) is a design support tool, which enables identification of the most suitable architectures and suppliers in early stages of complex systems design, with consideration ...
Risk Assessment in Bridge Construction Projects Using Fault Tree and Event Tree Analysis Methods Based on Fuzzy Logic
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In this paper, interruption risk in construction activities of bridge projects is assessed in order to identify the main causes of its occurrence and also to determine the potential outcomes resulted from the risk occurrence. ...
Simulation of Electric Current Induced Drowning Accident Scenarios for Boating Safety
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In the companion paper (Ayyub et al., 2016, “Risk Assessment Methodology for ElectricCurrent Induced Drowning Accidents,†ASCEASME J. Risk Uncertainty Eng. Syst. Part B Mech. Eng., 3(3), pp. XXXXXX.), the authors ...
A Dynamics Based Hazard Analysis of Inverted Pendulum Human Transporters Using Data Mined Information
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: When a product is a complex dynamic system that interacts directly with a human, engineers must consider a wide range of possible motions and forces that the device could exert on the human. Such an analysis goes beyond a ...
Risk Assessment Methodology for Electric Current Induced Drowning Accidents
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper presents a methodology to identify hazards associated with electricinduced drowning and electric shocks for swimmers around docks, houseboats, and other boats in both freshwater and saltwater; assesses scenarios ...
Uncertainty Quantification of Time Dependent Reliability Analysis in the Presence of Parametric Uncertainty
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Limited data of stochastic load processes and system random variables result in uncertainty in the results of timedependent reliability analysis. An uncertainty quantification (UQ) framework is developed in this paper for ...
Model Form Calibration in Drift Diffusion Simulation Using Fractional Derivatives
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In modeling and simulation, modelform uncertainty arises from the lack of knowledge and simplification during the modeling process and numerical treatment for ease of computation. Traditional uncertainty quantification ...
Structural Life Expectancy of Marine Vessels: Ultimate Strength, Corrosion, Fatigue, Fracture, and Systems
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper provides a methodology for the structural reliability analysis of marine vessels based on failure modes of their hull girders, stiffened panels including buckling, fatigue, and fracture and corresponding life ...
Evaluation of Design Alternatives’ Environmental Impact by Integrating Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process and Evidential Reasoning Approach
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Today “ecodesign†is a necessary consideration in the product development process. With increasing general awareness of the need for environmental production and more stringent regulatory requirements, manufacturers ...
Risk Models for Evaluation and Type Classification of Personal Flotation Devices
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper presents proposed models for assessing the aggregate performance of personal flotation devices (PFDs) by using risk methods. The aggregate performance is used to quantify the probability of a PFD saving lives ...
