RISA Portable Soft Hand Exerciser With Variable Elastic Resistance for Rehabilitation and Strengthening of Finger, Wrist, and Hand1
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Customizable Soft Pneumatic Chamber–Gripper Devices for Delicate Surgical Manipulation
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Traditional hard tissue grippers are limited in handling delicate soft tissues during surgery, particularly due to the high stress points that are generated on the soft tissue during gripping. In this study, customizable ...
Soft Actuating Sit-to-Stand Trainer Seat
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In this paper, we propose a novel type of soft robot for sit to stand (STS) training, which is made with soft bellow actuators. Analysis with five healthy human subjects revealed that there is a statistically significant ...
Representation of Stokes Flow Through a Planar Contraction by Papkovich-Fadle Eigenfunctions
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Stokes flow through a planar contraction is represented by matching together two series of Papkovich-Fadle eigenfunctions. Each series represents the solution in one of the unbounded rectangular ...
Innovative Civil Engineering Material from Sewage Sludge: Biocement and Its Use as Blended Cement Material
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The disposal of sewage sludge for modern municipalities represents an ever‐increasingly difficult problem. Feasibility studies on the use of sludge to produce cement as a means of ultimate sludge disposal has been initiated. ...
Manufacture of Cement from Sewage Sludge
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Sludge is an inevitable by‐product of municipal sewage treatment. Its abundance results from rapid industrial growth, and increased treatment requirements create problems of disposal. The disposal problem could be drastically ...
Wetting-Induced Compression of Compacted Oklahoma Soils
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The wetting-induced compression of compacted Oklahoma soils was investigated. One-dimensional oedometer tests were conducted on 22 Oklahoma soils that encompassed relative compaction and moisture contents within typical ...
Properties of Cement Made from Sludge
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The disposal of sludge from wastewater treatment process presents increasingly difficult problems to highly urbanized cities. Incineration might be a feasible alternative solution for sludge disposal, providing a means of ...
Media-Induced Hydraulic Behavior and Performance of Upflow Biofilters
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Laboratory studies were conducted to assess the influence of media-related factors such as porosity, specific surface, and pore size on hydraulic behavior and performance of upflow anaerobic biofilters (ABFs). Three 15-L ...
Developing a Quality-Embedded EVM Tool to Facilitate the Iron Triangle in Architectural, Construction, and Engineering Practices
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In modern architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) practices, the Iron Triangle of schedule, cost, and quality remains the key measurement to gauge project success. Existing tools do not work well at monitoring ...
