Multiscale, Heterogeneous Computer Aided Design Representation for Metal Alloy Microstructures
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2014)Most heterogeneous computer aided design (CAD) representations in the literature represent materials using a volume fraction vector, which may not by physically realizable or meaningful. In contrast, the multiscale, ... -
Experimental and Theoretical Investigations of Mechanical Joints With Form Defects
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2014)This article deals with the behavior of a planar joint taking surface defects into account. Two theoretical concepts are used: gap hull and difference surface. Gap hull represents the displacement space characterizing all ... -
A Novel Method to Design and Optimize Flat Foldable Origami Structures Through a Genetic Algorithm

Building Three Dimensional Scanner Based on Structured Light Technique Using Fringe Projection Pattern
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2014)This paper presents the design and construction of a lowcost active noncontact threedimensional (3D) scanner using the structured light method. The applied method is a generalization of the triangulation technique using a ... -
Facial Expression Analysis for Content Based Video Retrieval
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2014)In this work, we propose a technique for facial expression recognition to bridge the semantic gap among the features that can be extracted in a contentbased video retrieval system. The paper aims to provide accurate and ... -
Data Processing for Medial Axis Computation Using B Spline Smoothing
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2014)There has been much attention on sophisticated algorithm design to compute geometric arrangements with both time and space efficiency. The issue of robustness and reliability has also been the subject of some interest, ... -
Towards a Reference Architecture for Archival Systems: Use Case With Product Data
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2014)Longterm preservation of product data is imperative for many organizations. A product data archive should be designed to ensure information accessibility and understanding over time. Approaches, such as the Open Archival ... -
Ontological Conceptualization Based on the SKOS
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2014)Ontological conceptualization refers to the process of creating an abstract view of the domain of interest through a set of interconnected concepts. In this paper, a thesaurusbased methodology is proposed for systematic ... -
A Level Set Method for the Construction of Boundary Conforming Voronoi Regions and Delaunay Triangulations Governed by a Spatial Distribution of Metrics
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2014)A Voronoi region can be interpreted as the shape achieved by a crystal that grows from a seed and stops growing when it reaches either the domain boundary or another crystal. This analogy is exploited here to devise a ... -
Method for Handling Model Growth in Nonrigid Variation Simulation of Sheet Metal Assemblies
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2014)In automotive industry, virtual tools and methods are becoming increasingly important to ensure robust solutions as early as possible in the development processes. Today, techniques exist that combine Monte Carlo simulations ... -
An Integrated Approach to Information Modeling for the Sustainable Design of Products
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2014)The design of more sustainable products can be best accomplished in a tradeoffbased design process that methodically handles conflicting objectives. Such conflicts are often seen between, environmental impact, cost, and ... -
A Sensitivity Approach for Eliminating Clashes From Computer Aided Design Model Assemblies
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2014)Clashes occur when components in an assembly unintentionally violate others. If clashes are not identified and designed out before manufacture, product function will be reduced or substantial cost will be incurred in rework. ... -
