Analysis of Rollover Shape and Energy Storage and Return in Cantilever Beam-Type Prosthetic Feet
(ASME International, 2014-08)
This paper presents an analysis of the rollover shape and energy storage and return in a prosthetic foot made from a compliant cantilevered beam. The rollover shape of a prosthetic foot is defined as the path of the center ...
Method for Turbocharging Single Cylinder Four Stroke Engines
(ASME International, 2014-08)
This paper presents a feasibility study of a method for turbocharging single cylinder, four-stroke internal combustion engines. Turbocharging is not conventionally used with single cylinder engines because of the timing ...
Effects of Prosthesis Mass on Hip Energetics, Prosthetic Knee Torque, and Prosthetic Knee Stiffness and Damping Parameters Required for Transfemoral Amputees to Walk With Normative Kinematics
(ASME International, 2014-08)
We quantify how the hip energetics and knee torque required for an above-knee prosthesis user to walk with the kinematics of able-bodied humans vary with the inertial properties of the prosthesis. We also select and optimize ...
Development of a Design Tool for Flow Rate Optimization in the Tata Swach Water Filter
(ASME International, 2014-08)
When developing a first-generation product, an iterative approach often yields the shortest time-to-market. In order to optimize its performance, however, a fundamental understanding of the theory governing its operation ...
Delivering a low-cost, reliable drip irrigation filtration system for micro-irrigation in developing countries
(ASME International, 2014-08)
The cylindrical filters presently used in drip irrigation systems frequently clog, increasing pressure loss and lowering the flow rate through the filters. This work investigates alternative filtration strategies that ...
