The Libration Stabilization Of A Partial Space Elevator System Using Analytical Reel Rate Control
(CSME-SCGM, 2018-05)
This paper investigates the libration stabilization control of a partial space elevator system with a moving climber in circular orbits. The system is described by a modified two-piece dumbbell model. The model consists ...
Application Of Fiber Bragg Grating Sensor For Strain Measurement At The Notch Tip Under Cyclic Loading
(CSME-SCGM, 2018-05)
Notches are inevitable in many components and structures due to design limitations. In addition, they are the locations for stress concentration and are susceptible to fatigue failure. As a result, the cyclic stress/strain ...
Inter-Laminar Strain Energy Continuity In Orthotropic Face Sandwich And Composite Plate Analysis Using Improved Higher-Order Theory
(CSME-SCGM, 2018-05)
The main goal of this paper is, to suggest improved higher order refined theory to the analysis of perfectly bonded stack sandwich and composite laminates with usual type lamination configurations. The analysis incorporates ...
Natural Frequencies Of Internally-Doubly-Tapered Laminated Composite Beams
(CSME-SCGM, 2018-05)
In the present study, the free vibration response of symmetric thickness-and-width-tapered (doubly-tapered) laminated composite beams is investigated. Considering the continuous-plies-interspersed ply drop-off configuration, ...
On-Line Determination Of A Go-Nogo State Using A Continous Estimation Of The System Response
(CSME-SCGM, 2018-05)
The formulation, tuning and performance of a signal prediction algorithm as applied to the determination of a Go-NoGo state are discussed. Simulations were used to tune and assess the performance of the signal prediction ...
Anisotropic Fatigue Modeling Of Wrought Magnesium Alloys
(CSME-SCGM, 2018-05)
The merit of Jahed-Varvani (JV) as an energy-based model and Smith-Watson-Toper (SWT) as a critical plane fatigue model are assessed for three wrought magnesium alloys. The raw data, including the stabilized strain-stress ...
Constrained Topology Optimization For Additive Manufacturing Of Structural Components In Ansys®
(CSME-SCGM, 2018-05)
Topology Optimization is currently the main technique to optimize an objects structural design. This method commonly produces parts that have exceedingly complex geometry. Additive manufacturing (AM) is the main manufacturing ...
Investigating The Effect Of A Speckle Pattern On Measurement Uncertainty In A Three-Dimensional Digital Image Correlation (3D-Dic) System
(CSME-SCGM, 2018-05)
Three-dimensional digital image correlation (3D-DIC) is an imaging technique that uses cameras to measure the surface displacement of a speckled specimen under test loading from which surface strains can be derived. This ...
Helical Spring Design Optimization For Endoscopic Devices Using A Design-Of-Experiments And Response Surface Approach
(2018-05)
Flexible endoscopes require reliable advancement and steerability of the device tip. Helical spring design is critical to both endoscopic steerability and cable function. To characterize the impact of geometric and material ...
Controlled Deflection Of Diamagnetic Biocompatible Aqueous Droplets
(2018-05)
We present a microfluidic platform that is capable of controlled diamagnetic droplet displacement. In this method, monodisperse aqueous droplets are produced in a continuous phase of hydrophobic ferrofluid. Both phases are ...
