    • Ranking Ideas for Diversity and Quality 

      Ahmed, Faez; Fuge, Mark (The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2018)
      When selecting ideas or trying to find inspiration, designers often must sift through hundreds or thousands of ideas. This paper provides an algorithm to rank design ideas such that the ranked list simultaneously maximizes ...

    • A Lamina-Emergent Frustum Using a Bistable Collapsible Compliant Mechanism 

      Alfattani, Rami; Lusk, Craig (The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2018)
      This paper presents a new bistable collapsible compliant mechanism (BCCM) that is utilized in a lamina-emergent frustum. The mechanism is based on transforming a polygon spiral into spatial frustum shape using a mechanism ...

    • Kinematic Design of a New Four Degree-of-Freedom Parallel Robot for Knee Rehabilitation 

      Aginaga, Jokin; Iriarte, Xabier; Plaza, Aitor; Mata, Vicente (The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2018)
      Rehabilitation robots are increasingly being developed in order to be used by injured people to perform exercise and training. As these exercises do not need wide range movements, some parallel robots with lower mobility ...

    • Special Issue: Design of Engineered Materials and Structures 

      Arroyave, Raymundo; Guest, James; Seepersad, Carolyn Conner; Tovar, Andres; Wang, Yan (The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2018)

    • Reliability-Based Design Optimization of Microstructures With Analytical Formulation 

      Acar, Pinar (The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2018)
      Microstructures are stochastic by their nature. These aleatoric uncertainties can alter the expected material performance substantially and thus they must be considered when designing materials. One safe approach would be ...

    • Design for Manufacturability-Based Feedback to Mitigate Design Fixation 

      Abdelall, Esraa S.; Frank, Matthew C.; Stone, Richard T. (The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2018)
      This study assessed the effectiveness of three-dimensional (3D) visual feedback from design for manufacturability (DFM) software on mitigating design fixation on nonproducible manufacturability features. A fixation group ...
