Nonlinear Material Model in Part Variation Simulations of Sheet Metals
(American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2019)Current methodologies for variation simulation of compliant sheet metal assemblies and parts are simplified by assuming linear relationships. From the observed physical experiments, it is evident that plastic strains are ... -
On Algorithms and Heuristics for Constrained Least-Squares Fitting of Circles and Spheres to Support Standards
(American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2019)Constrained least-squares fitting has gained considerable popularity among national and international standards committees as the default method for establishing datums on manufactured parts. This has resulted in the ... -
Design Ideator: A Conceptual Design Toolbox
(American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2019)Computer tools for embodiment and detailed engineering design (computer-aided design (CAD)) evolved rapidly in the past 35 years and are now pervasive throughout the industry. But todays commercial CAD is geometry-centric, ... -
“FabSearch”: A 3D CAD Model-Based Search Engine for Sourcing Manufacturing Services
(American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2019)In this paper, we present “FabSearch,” a prototype search engine for sourcing manufacturing service providers, by making use of the product manufacturing information (PMI) contained within a 3D digital file of a part ... -
An Olfactory Display to Study the Integration of Vision and Olfaction in a Virtual Reality Environment
(American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2019)The paper describes the design of an innovative virtual reality (VR) system, based on a combination of an olfactory display and a visual display, to be used for investigating the directionality of the sense of olfaction. ... -
Modified First-Order Compound Function-Based Interval Perturbation Method for Luffing Angular Response of Dual Automobile Crane System With Interval Variables
(American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2019)The accuracy of conventional crane engineering problems with bounded uncertainty is limited to cases where only first-order terms are retained. However, the impact of high-order terms on the luffing angular response (LAR) ... -
C2 Continuous Blending of Time-Dependent Parametric Surfaces
