ASTM International 2012 Project PapersUniversity of Pennsylvania Titan: A Powered, Upper Body ExoskeletonThe project goal was to design an untethered, powered, upper body exoskeleton for use in the fields of rehabilitation and therapeutic application, as well as occupations requiring augmented strength. Case Western Reserve University Mechanical Characterization of 316 LVM WiresThe project goal was to complete comparative study of flex bending fatigue and rotating bending fatigue and its utility in fatigue testing for biomedical applications. University of Alabama Interface for Ultrasonic C-Scan SystemThe project goal was to build the electronic interface for the ultrasonic C-scan to communicate with the ultrasonic pulser-receiver system. The machine will be able to acquire, record and analyze the ultrasonic data through x-y-z motion. San Diego State University Local Deformations and Failure Mechanisms in Tapered Sandwich Core CloseoutsThe project goal of this investigation was to develop experimental methods for the investigation and quantification of local deformation and failure mechanisms in tapered sandwich core closeouts using full field deformation and strain characterization methods. University of Pennsylvania Expandable Endotracheal Tube for Veterinary PatientsThe project goal was to design an endotracheal tube to harmlessly penetrate any tiny opening in the airway and expand and then seal upon entrance to allow for the flow of gases. This device could be used in both human and veterinary patients when immediate access is required for emergency resuscitation procedures, including cases of trauma, oral or airway cancer or in intubating the trachea of morbidly obese patients. ASTM International 2011 Project PapersTexas A&M University A Method for Injection Molding (1.5 in. – 4 in.) or (38 mm – 101.6 mm) thick Composite Pistons for use in Pressurized Cylinder ApplicationsThe project goal was to develop and define a cost effective manufacturing method for molding composite hydraulic pistons capable of meeting ASTM standards and those of the hydraulics industry. University of Pennsylvania Solar Cook Stove with Energy StorageThe project team will build a collector, with the main goal being to use a phase change material to accomplish thermal energy storage overnight. ASTM International 2010 Project PapersCleveland State University Universal Standard Protocol for Temperature and Material Characterization Calibration with PharmaceuticalsThe project goal was to develop a test procedure based on multiple thermal analytical methods and extend the selection of calibrants to active pharmacy ingredients. The work incorporated ASTM International standards from Committees E37 on Thermal Measurements and E11 on Quality and Statistics. Saint Louis University Ergonomic Assessment of Computer Workstations for Students, Employees, and Faculty Members at Saint Louis University, School of Public HealthThe project team used the funds to conduct a user survey, conduct a statistical analysis, and implement proposed ergonomic solutions. ASTM International standards Committees E34 on Occupational Health and Safety and E11 on Quality and Statistics were referenced. University of Wisconsin – Milwaukee Investigations of Carbon Fiber Bicycle Forks for ASTM Standard DevelopmentThe goal of the project was to advance the knowledge of failure processes in carbon fiber bicycle parts and to advance the state of ASTM test standards currently under development. The study incorporated several ASTM International standards within Committee F08’s Bicycle Subcommittee F08.10. | ||
