RISAn Analytical Model for Calculating the Workspace of a Flexure Hexapod Nanopositioner
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper presents an analytical model for calculating the workspace of a flexurebased hexapod nanopositioner previously built by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). This nanopositioner is capable ...
Vibration Effects Attributable to Driving of PHC Pipe Piles
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: To ensure the safety of adjacent 16.7-m-high concrete frame structures (cooling towers) and buried pipelines in service during installation of 83 prestressed high-strength concrete (PHC) pipe piles, the behavior of the ...
Soft Transnasal Endoscopic Robot for Patient Administered Nasopharynx Inspection1

Vibration Suppression Method for Slender Structures Based on Additive Manufacturing Technologies
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: AbstractThis paper presents a new approach to suppress the vibration of slender structures
by incorporating a lattice structure filled with damping materials. First, to significantly
improve efficiency, an equivalent ...
Prediction of Edge Crack in Cold Rolling of Silicon Steel Strip Based on an Extended Gurson–Tvergaard–Needleman Damage Model
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Edge cracking is commonly observed in cold rolling process. However, its failure mechanism is far from fully understanding due to the complex stresses and plastic flow conditions of steel strip under the rolling condition. ...
Determination of Allowable Differential Settlement in Bridge Approach due to Vehicle Vibrations
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The differential settlement between the bridge abutment and the approach embankment produces the common “bump at the end of the bridge.” This paper conducts a theoretical study on the determination of the allowable ...
Single-Motor Controlled Tendon-Driven Peristaltic Soft Origami Robot
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Origami-based paper folding is being used in robotics community to provide stiffness and flexibility simultaneously while designing smart structures. In this paper, we propose a novel design inspired by origami pattern ...
Removal Mechanism and Defect Characterization for Glass Side Laser Scribing of CdTe/CdS Multilayer in Solar Cells
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Laser scribing is an important manufacturing process used to reduce photocurrent and resistance losses and increase solar cell efficiency through the formation of serial interconnections in largearea solar cells. Highquality ...
Design, Analysis, and Experiment of an Underactuated Robotic Gripper Actuated by Linear Series Elastic Actuator
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The primary motivation of this study is to develop a cost-effective, safe, easily controlled, and passively adaptive robotic gripper. A novel linear series elastic actuated robotic gripper (LSEA-RG) is proposed to accomplish ...
Needle-Size Bending Actuators Based on Controlled Nitinol Curvatures and Elastic Structures
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Surgical navigation of small lumens during surgery is a challenging task, requiring expert knowledge and dexterity. The challenge pertains to the manipulation of the distal tip (inside the patient) from the proximal end ...
