RISModeling and Analysis of an Active Reconfigurable Fixturing Device Using a Bed of Pins Lowered on a Moving Platen
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A reconfigurable fixturing device (RFD) is a computer-controlled reconfigurable bed-of-pins used for holding a compliant workpiece during manufacturing operations. A new RFD design, based on ...
Reconfigurable Pin-Type Tooling: A Survey of Prior Art and Reduction to Practice
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The idea of using a bed-of-pins as a completely reconfigurable discrete tool surface (referred to as a reconfigurable pin-type tool) for forming or molding of mechanical components has been ...
Curing and Consolidation of Advanced Thermoset Composite Laminate Parts by Pressing Between a Heated Mold and Customized Rubber-Faced Mold
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Curing and consolidating thermoset composite laminates and sandwich structures typically involves vacuum bagging an uncured and formed layup over a thin-walled mold, placing it in an autoclave, ...
Ultrasonic Bonding of Membrane Electrode Assemblies for Low Temperature Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Low temperature proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cells currently dominate the fuel cell market, yet there are materials-, cost-, reliability-, and manufacturing-related challenges that hinder ...
Progress on Clinical Trials and Product Development of a Simple, Inexpensive Feedback Device for Patients Requiring Partial Weight Bearing
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A weight bearing indicator (WBI) has been developed and is undergoing clinical trials and commercialization. The most recent version of the device includes load range indication ability. The WBI ...
