RISIsogeometric Optimal Design of Compliant Mechanisms Using Finite Deformation Curved Beam Built-Up Structures
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper presents a configuration and sizing design optimization method for large deformation planar compliant mechanisms, using a continuum-based adjoint design sensitivity analysis (DSA) approach for built-up structures. ...
Neuro-Fuzzy Approaches for Sanitary Sewer Pipeline Condition Assessment
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Recent advances in optical sensors and computing technologies have led to the development of inspection systems for underground facilities such as water lines, sewer pipes, and telecommunication conduits. It is now possible ...
Asset Management Assessment Model for State Departments of Transportation
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Transportation asset management (AM) research has yielded a well-accepted AM framework for state departments of transportation (DOTs) to model. However, no studies have developed a model to measure the level of AM ...
An Iterative Learning Control for Uncertain Systems Using Structured Singular Value
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: To deal with an iterative learning control (ILC) system with plant uncertainty, a set of new terms related with robust convergence is first defined. This paper proposes a sufficient condition ...
Evaluation of Customer-Driven Level of Service for Water Infrastructure Asset Management
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: There has been an increasing need to examine the level of service from a customer’s perspective in order to set the appropriate service level with a limited maintenance budget. This paper presents an evaluation of a ...
Design Optimization of Compliant Mechanisms Consisting of Standardized Elements
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: We developed a design method to configure optimal compliant mechanisms consisting of standardized elements such as semirigid beams, hubs, and joints. In the proposed design approach, mechanism ...
Analysis of Thin-Walled Straight Beams with Generally Shaped Closed Sections Using Numerically Determined Sectional Deformation Functions
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This investigation presents one-dimensional static and eigenvalue analyses of thin-walled straight beams with generally shaped closed single-cell or multicell sections. For accurate beam analysis, sectional warping and ...
Application of a Ground Beam-Joint Topology Optimization Method for Multi-Piece Frame Structure Design
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: When a multipiece frame structure is designed, not only its topological layout but also assembly locations should be determined. This paper presents a compliance-minimizing topology optimization ...
High Performance Anisotropic Conductive Adhesives Using Copper Particles With an Anti-Oxidant Coating Layer
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper describes the development and characterization of anisotropically conductive films (ACFs) incorporated with copper (Cu) particles as electrically conductive fillers for environmentally ...
Effects of Two Urban Development Strategies on Changes in the Land Surface Temperature: Infill versus Suburban New Town Development
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This study investigated the impacts of two different urban development strategies (infill and suburban new town development) on changes in the land surface temperature (LST) in the Seoul metropolitan area. One large-scale ...
