RISMagneto-Active Compliant Slider-Rocker Mechanisms for Creating High-Energy Linear Motion
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Abstract. This study investigates the design of magneto-active bistable compliant mechanisms for creating high-energy motion. Compared to traditional actuation methods, magneto-active actuation can enable remote and wireless ...
Optimization of an Endoscopic Radiofrequency Ablation Electrode
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is an increasingly used, minimally invasive, cancer treatment modality for patients who are unwilling or unable to undergo a major resective surgery. There is a need for RFA electrodes that ...
Design and Optimization of a Contact Aided Compliant Mechanism for Passive Bending
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A contactaided compliant mechanism (CCM) called a compliant spine (CS) is presented in this paper. It is flexible when bending in one direction and stiff when bending in the opposite direction, giving it a nonlinear bending ...
Trade Space Exploration of Magnetically Actuated Origami Mechanisms
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Selffolding origami has the potential to be utilized in novel areas such as selfassembling robots and shapemorphing structures. Important decisions in the development of such applications include the choice of active ...
Tuning of a Rigid-Body Dynamics Model of a Flapping Wing Structure With Compliant Joints
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A method for validating rigid-body models of compliant mechanisms under dynamic loading conditions using motion tracking cameras and genetic algorithms is presented. The compliant mechanisms are modeled using rigid-body ...
Topology Optimization Design of Resonant Structures Based on Antiresonance Eigenfrequency Matching Informed by Harmonic Analysis
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In this article, we present a design methodology for resonant structures exhibiting particular dynamic responses by combining an eigenfrequency matching approach and a harmonic analysis-informed eigenmode identification ...
An Analytical Model for Nonlinear-Elastic Compliant Mechanisms With Tension–Compression Asymmetry
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: While nonlinear-elastic materials demonstrate potential in enhancing the performance of compliant mechanisms, their behavior still needs to be captured in a generalized mechanical model. To inform new designs and functionality ...
Investigating Social Relevance and Knowledge Construction in Engineering Design Research Published in the Journals of Mechanical Design and Mechanisms and Robotics
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Abstract. Engineering design research is evolving to incorporate socially relevant themes such as justice, ethics, and sustainability. With this evolution, new methods, theories, and concepts are introduced, resulting in ...
Flexure-Based Locking Plates Can Modulate Interfragmentary Motion in Distal Femur and Diaphyseal Fractures: A Parametric Finite Element Analysis
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Abstract. Axial interfragmentary motion is known to stimulate fracture healing. A mechanically compliant fracture fixation plate incorporating flexures is proposed to provide controlled axial micromotion to long bone ...
