A Sequential Sampling Algorithm for Multistage Static Coverage Problems
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2018)In many system-engineering problems, such as surveillance, environmental monitoring, and cooperative task performance, it is critical to allocate limited resources within a restricted area optimally. Static coverage problem ... -
Feature Edge Extraction Via Angle-Based Edge Collapsing and Recovery
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2018)This paper presents a new method for extracting feature edges from computer-aided design (CAD)-generated triangulations. The major advantage of this method is that it tends to extract feature edges along the centroids of ... -
Treat All Integrals as Volume Integrals: A Unified, Parallel, Grid-Based Method for Evaluation of Volume, Surface, and Path Integrals on Implicitly Defined Domains
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2018)We present a unified method for numerical evaluation of volume, surface, and path integrals of smooth, bounded functions on implicitly defined bounded domains. The method avoids both the stochastic nature (and slow ... -
Advanced Multi-Objective Robust Optimization Under Interval Uncertainty Using Kriging Model and Support Vector Machine

Water Leakage Detection for Complex Pipe Systems Using Hybrid Learning Algorithm Based on ANFIS Method
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2018)In most city water distribution systems, a considerable amount of water is lost because of leaks occurring in pipes. Moreover, an unobservable fluid leakage fault that may occur in a hazardous industrial system, such as ... -
Circle-Point Containment, Monte Carlo Method for Shape Matching Based on Feature Points Using the Technique of Sparse Uniform Grids
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2018)Shape matching using their critical feature points is useful in mechanical processes such as precision measure of manufactured parts and automatic assembly of parts. In this paper, we present a practical algorithm for ... -
Automated Discovery of Product Feature Inferences Within Large-Scale Implicit Social Media Data
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2018)Recently, social media has emerged as an alternative, viable source to extract large-scale, heterogeneous product features in a time and cost-efficient manner. One of the challenges of utilizing social media data to inform ... -
Optimization of Fixture Layout Based on Error Amplification Factors
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2018)Fixture locators are used to precisely locate and stably support a workpiece so that the desired position and orientation (pose) of the workpiece relative to the cutting tool can be maintained during machining or inspection ... -
Nonrigid Registration for Form Defect Identification of Thin Parts
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2018)The paper discusses thin part inspection using three-dimensional (3D) non rigid registration. The main objective is to match measurement point data to its nominal representation, so as to identify form defects. Since form ... -
The Design Process of Additively Manufactured Mesoscale Lattice Structures: A Review
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2018)This review focuses on the design process of additively manufactured mesoscale lattice structures (MSLSs). They are arrays of three-dimensional (3D) printed trussed unit cells, whose dimensions span from 0.1 to 10.0 mm. ... -
