A Note on Flow Regimes and Churning Loss Modeling
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2011)The purpose of this study is to investigate the various fluid flow regimes generated by a pinion running partly immersed in an oil bath and the corresponding churning power losses. In a ... -
Design of Revolute Joints for In-Mold Assembly Using Insert Molding
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2011)Creating highly articulated miniature structures requires assembling a large number of small parts. This is a very challenging task and increases cost of mechanical assemblies. Insert molding ... -
Role of Conservative Moving Least Squares Methods in Reliability Based Design Optimization: A Mathematical Foundation
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2011)The response surface method (RSM) and the moving least squares method (MLSM) are extensively used due to their computational efficiency in solving reliability based design optimization (RBDO) ... -
A Framework for Building Dimensionless Behavioral Models to Aid in Function-Based Failure Propagation Analysis
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2011)This research builds on previous work on function-based failure analysis and dimensional analysis to develop a design stage failure identification framework. The proposed framework is intended to ... -
JMD’s Three-Month Review Policy Pledge
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2011)An archival publication is one that stands the test of time: We will read it ten or twenty years after its initial publication and we will still find it informative, useful, and relevant. ... -
A Functional Classification Framework for the Conceptual Design of Additive Manufacturing Technologies
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2011)Many different additive manufacturing (AM) technologies enable the realization of prototypes and fully-functional artifacts. Although very different in solution principle and embodiment, significant ... -
Generation of Hypoid Gears on CNC Hypoid Generator
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2011)In this study, polynomial functions of orders up to five are applied to induce variations in the cradle radial setting and the velocity ratio in the kinematic scheme of the machine tool for ... -
