RISDesign and Preliminary Validation of Grasp Assistive Device for an Industrial Environment
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Carpal tunnel syndrome and tendonitis are two common upper extremity cumulative trauma disorders (CTD) related to repetitive and forceful activities in industrial environments. Reducing the muscular force during activities ...
System-Theoretic Models for Building Thermal Analysis
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A method for computer simulation of thermal analysis and energy consumption in buildings is described. This method is based on the system-theoretic approach which has been used to formulate and ...
Experimental Study on the Effect of Injection Timing on a Dual Fuel Diesel Engine Operated With Biogas Derived From Food Waste
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The present work emphasizes the effects of injection timing on the characteristics of a 5.2-kW powered four-stroke diesel engine using biogas and its heat loss analysis. The biogas is obtained from food waste consisting ...
Numerical Evaluation of the Size-Dependent Elastic Properties of Cellular Polymers
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Several experimental studies have revealed that the size-dependent deformation in polymers at nano- to micro-meter length scales is significantly associated with elastic deformation. Such size-dependent deformation in ...
Stochastic Modeling of Transient Heat Flow Through Walls
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Solar radiation and temperature vary during the day. These variations are also subject to “random” fluctuations caused by rapid changes in atmospheric conditions. In this paper a procedure has ...
In-Situ Fracture Tolerance of the Metatarsals During Quasi-Static Compressive Loading of the Human Foot
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Accidental foot injuries including metatarsal fractures commonly result from compressive loading. The ability of personal protective equipment to prevent these traumatic injuries depends on the understanding of metatarsal ...
Combined in Vivo/in Vitro Method to Study Anteriomedial Bundle Strain in the Anterior Cruciate Ligament Using a Dynamic Knee Simulator
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The mechanism of noncontact anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury is not well understood. It is partly because previous studies have been unable to relate dynamic knee muscle forces during sports activities such as landing ...
Continuum and Molecular-Level Modeling of Fatigue Crack Retardation in Self-Healing Polymers
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A numerical model to study the fatigue crack retardation in a self-healing material (, 2001, Nature, 409, pp. 794–797) is presented. The approach relies on a combination of cohesive modeling ...
High Rotation Rate Behavior of Cervical Spine Segments in Flexion and Extension
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Numerical finite element (FE) models of the neck have been developed to simulate occupant response and predict injury during motor vehicle collisions. However, there is a paucity of data on the response of young cervical ...
Dynamic Response of Three Fiber Reinforced Polymer Composite Bridges
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) composite bridge decks are gaining the attention of bridge owners because of their light self-weight, corrosion resistance, and ease of installation. Constructed Facilities Center at West ...
