RISHuman Driver Modeling Based on Analytical Optimal Solutions: Stopping Behaviors at the Intersections
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Safe and energy-efficient driving of connected and automated vehicles (CAVs) must be influenced by human-driven vehicles. Thus, to properly evaluate the energy impacts of CAVs in a simulation framework, a human driver model ...
Thermodynamics-Inspired Macroscopic States of Bounded Swarms
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The collective behavior of swarms is extremely difficult to estimate or predict, even when the local agent rules are known and simple. The presented work seeks to leverage the similarities between fluids and swarm systems ...
Lifetime Optimization for a Grid-Friendly DC Fast Charge Station With Second Life Batteries
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Electrified vehicle (EV) batteries that have reached the automotive end of life are providing a low-cost energy storage solution for grid-connected systems, such as DC fast charge stations (DCFCs). There are several ...
A Plate-Like Sensor for the Identification of Sample Viscoelastic Properties Using Contact Resonance Atomic Force Microscopy
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In this article, we present a new contact resonance atomic force microscopy-based method utilizing a square, plate-like microsensor to accurately estimate viscoelastic sample properties. A theoretical derivation, based on ...
Reviewer’s Recognition
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The Reviewers of the Year Award is given to reviewers who have made an outstanding contribution to the journal in terms of the quantity, quality, and turnaround time of reviews completed during the past 12 months. The prize ...
Control-Oriented Physics-Based NOX Emission Model for a Diesel Engine With Exhaust Gas Recirculation
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Stringent NOX emission norm for heavy duty vehicles motivates the use of predictive models to reduce emissions of diesel engines by coordinating engine parameters and aftertreatment. In this paper, a physics-based ...
Statistical Determination of Decision-Making Regions for Branching Paths: An Algorithm With a Wheelchair Assistance Application
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Typically, mobile vehicles follow the same paths repeatedly, resulting in a common path bounded with some variance. These paths are often punctuated by branches into other paths based on decision-making in the area around ...
Lumped Parameter Modeling and Snap-Through Stability Analysis of Planar Hydraulically Amplified Dielectric Elastomer Actuators
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In this paper, we established an analytical model that avoids extensive numerical computation for the analysis of a hydraulically amplified dielectric elastomer actuator. This actuator comprises a thin elastomer shell ...
Design and Characterization of a Passive Instrumented Hand
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Although soft robotic assistive gloves have high potential for restoring functional independence for individuals with motor impairment, their lack of rigid components makes it difficult to obtain accurate position sensing ...
Evaluation and Optimization of Dual-Arm Robot Path Planning for Human–Robot Collaborative Tasks in Smart Manufacturing Contexts
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In human–robot collaborative tasks, the performance of robot path planning has a direct impact on the robot-to-human hand-over process, or even the collaboration quality. In this work, we propose an evaluation study on ...
