Comparison of the Acoustic Performance of Wooden Violins and Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer Violins Through a Modal Study by Finite Elements Method and Effective Masses
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Even though string musical instruments made of synthetic materials such as carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) have respected acoustic performance, but a short manufacturing cycle and low product cost, they do not become ...
Machine Learning the Concrete Compressive Strength From Mixture Proportions
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Concrete mixture design usually requires labor-intensive and time-consuming work, which involves a significant amount of “trial batching” approaches. Recently, statistical and machine learning methods have demonstrated ...
Modeling the Dynamics of an American Football and the Stability Due to Spin
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper develops a mathematical model describing the motion through the air of an American football. The model is based on established equations used to describe spinning projectiles. While the equations are applicable ...
Effects of Panel Misalignment in a Deployable OrigamiBased Optical Array
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Deployable origamibased arrays can offer many benefits for a wide variety of engineering applications. However, alignment in the deployed state is a primary challenge of these arrays; in optical systems, local (single ...
Explosion Differentiation Using Light Emissions—Nuclear Reactor, Steam, Water Hammer, Hydrogen, Piper Alpha, and HydroVolcanic Explosions
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Light emissions during chemical reactions provide insights into various scenarios to better understand explosions and water hammers. For example, hydrogen burning and explosions emit blue light, organic carbon combustion ...
An Analytical Model for Pitch Moment Stiffness of Bolted Connections and Its Application in Ballscrew Bearing Support Block Selection
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Bolted joints are commonly used structural connections as they provide a strong secure joint along with ease of assembly/disassembly. While analytical models for the axial stiffness of bolted joints are well developed, ...
Minimum Quantity Cutting Fluid Application for Grinding Weld Flash: Surface Integrity Evaluation
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The effect of the grinding process for weld flash removal on the surface integrity of the welded joint has not been researched. The surface integrity of the welded joint is essential for the bandsaw blade life and to prevent ...
Exploring a Variant of PTC 42013 for RealTime Performance Monitoring of Fossil Fuel Power Plants
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper describes a realtime performancemonitoring method based on PTC 42013 that was developed for determining and reporting the annual heat rate for fossil fuel power plants. Unlike for the PTC 4 test, the coal ...
Improving Simulation to Hardware Correlation of Autonomous Vehicles Operating on Low Friction Surfaces
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Simulation is a critical step in the development of autonomous driving technologies, allowing engineers to test control algorithms, path planners, and other dynamic vehicle behaviors in a riskfree, lowcost environment. ...
Manufacturing Strategies to Mitigate Deformation Twinning in Magnesium
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Magnesium (Mg) alloys exhibit poor room temperature ductility, which prohibits forming operations in costeffective industrial settings and the use of these alloys in critical safety components. Profuse twinning in Mg alloys ...
