RISConsiderations in Applying Dynamic Programming Filters to the Smoothing of Noisy Data
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Dynamic programming techniques are useful in smoothing and differentiating noisy data signals according to an optimization criterion and the results are generally quite robust to noise spectra ...
A Proposed Etiology for Tourniquet-Induced Neuropathies
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Pneumatic tourniquets are used in limb surgery to provide a bloodless operating field, but they can also cause nerve injuries. These injuries are thought to be mechanically induced, although ...
Determination of Lower-Bound Ductility for AZ31 Magnesium Alloy by Use of the Bulge Specimens
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Despite the high demand for industrial applications of magnesium, the forming technology for wrought magnesium alloys is not fully developed due to the limited ductility and high sensitivity to ...
A Digital System for the Recording of Impact Velocity, Acceleration and Forming Load of a High Energy Rate Forming Machine
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A noncontacting device has been developed to measure the instantaneous displacement, velocity, or acceleration of a moving body. The device, based on a solid-state camera, has been used to ...
Development of Flexural Strength Rating Procedures for Adjacent Prestressed Concrete Box Girder Bridges
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: An investigation was conducted on noncomposite prestressed precast concrete adjacent-box-beam bridges that suffered catastrophic failures resulting from the corrosion of the prestressing steel. These failures highlight the ...
Effective and Efficient Breakwater Design for Trading Vessels and FPSOS
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Breakwaters obviously need to fulfill their function (protecting sensitive structures or cargo) while at the same time remaining intact and imposing manageable loads onto supporting structure. It ...
A Hybrid Draw Die Optimization Technique for Sheet Metal Forming
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Recent years have seen considerable advances in the use of Finite Element (FE) modeling techniques, to the point where they can be used confidently to predict the output of the sheet metal ...
Equilibrium Point Control of a 2-DOF Manipulator
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Programmable mechanical compliance in actuation is desirable for human interaction tasks and important for producing biomimetic motion, particularly for robots designed for use in domestic settings. ...
Use of Image Recognition Techniques in the Analysis of Sheet Metal Forming Force Signature Curves
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A new method of metal stamping force signature analysis is presented, based on the image recognition technique Point Distribution Models (PDMs). The approach is shown to be an effective method ...
An Investigation of the Effects of Flue Gas Injection on Natural Draft Cooling Tower Performance
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper addresses an investigation of flue gas injection on natural draft cooling tower performance through numerical simulation. The control volume finite difference method was used for ...
