RISData-Driven Sizing Specification Utilizing Consumer Text Reviews
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The objective of this work is to introduce a new method for determining preliminary design specifications related to human-artifact interaction. This new method uses data mining of large numbers of consumer reviews. User ...
Consideration of Demographics and Variance in Regression Approaches to Estimating Body Dimensions for Spatial Analysis of Design
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A common objective in designing for human variability is to consider the variability in body size and shape of the target user population. Since anthropometric data specific to the user ...
Modeling the Variability of Glenoid Geometry in Intact and Osteoarthritic Shoulders
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The objective of this research is to model the geometric variability of the glenoid of the scapula. The glenoid is the “socket” component of the “ball and socket” connection of the shoulder joint. The model must capture ...
A Single Differential Equation for First-Excursion Time in a Class of Linear Systems
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: First-excursion times have been developed extensively in the literature for oscillators; one major application is structural dynamics of buildings. Using the fact that most closed-loop systems ...
Including Preference in Anthropometry-Driven Models for Design
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In the design of artifacts that interact with people, the spatial dimensions of the target user population are often used to determine the requirements of the engineered artifact. The expected ...
Bioretention Hydrologic Performance in an Urban Stormwater Network
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Although many studies have evaluated the hydrologic effects of bioretention at the site-level, few have investigated the role bioretention plays when distributed throughout a watershed. This study aims to assess bioretention’s ...
A New Methodology to Produce More Skillful United States Cool-Season Precipitation Forecasts
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The water resources of the western United States have enormous agricultural and municipal demands. At the same time, droughts like the one enveloping the West in the summer of 2021 have disrupted supply of this strained ...
Special Issue: Current Trends in Impact and Injury Biomechanics
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This special issue highlights current trends within the field of impact and injury biomechanics. This interdisciplinary domain combines the principles of mechanics and motion, with knowledge of anatomy, physiology, and ...
Three-Dimensional Analyses of Excavation Support System for the Stata Center Basement on the MIT Campus
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The basement of the Stata Center building on the MIT campus required 12.8 m deep excavations covering a large open-plan site and underlain by more than 25 m of lightly overconsolidated Boston Blue Clay. The excavations ...
Improving Seasonal Predictions of Climate Variability and Water Availability at the Catchment Scale
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In a water-stressed region, such as the southwestern United States, it is essential to improve current seasonal hydroclimatic predictions. Typically, seasonal hydroclimatic predictions have been conditioned by standard ...
