Evaluation of advanced composites using destructive testing techniques
(American Society of Mechanical Engineers, 2012)A very basic problem in manufacturing advanced composites is the occurrence of defects, such as voids, delamination, resin rich areas, distorted fibers and foreign material inclusions. Of these defects, voids are the ... -
The hybrid predictive dynamics method for analysis, simulation and prediction of human motion
(American Society of Mechanical Engineers, 2016)The 'Hybrid Predictive Dynamics Method for Digital Human Modeling' is analyzed in this work. The Hybrid' prefix mentioned in the literature recently [1] refers to the use of motion capture data for improving human motion ... -
Sensitivity-based, multi-objective design of vehicle suspension systems
(ASME, 2015-05)This article deals with the dynamic response optimization of mechanical systems, based on the computation of independent state sensitivities. Specifically, the dynamic behavior of a coach is analyzed in detail so as to ... -
Vehicle mass optimization for frontal structure using I-sight and study of weld parameterization for mass improvement
(American Society of Mechanical Engineers, 2015)In order to meet the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS) requirement, the frontal structure of the vehicle needs to be design to maximize energy absorption in the presence powertrain design layout constraint. ... -
Vehicle suspension identification via algorithmic computation of state and design sensitivities
(American Society of Mechanical Engineers, 2015-02)It is common in mechanical simulation to not know the value of key system parameters. When the simulation is very sensitive to those design parameters and practical or budget limitations prevent the user from measuring the ...
