ABSTRACT
A short abstract (100 words maximum) should open the paper. The purposes of an
abstract are: (1) to give a clear indication of the objective, scope, and results of the
paper so that readers may determine whether the full text will be of particular
interest to them; (2) to provide key words and phrases for indexing, abstracting, and
retrieval purposes. The abstract should not attempt to condense the whole subject
matter into a few words for quick reading.

INTRODUCTION

Corresponding author information can be added as a footnote.

Because ASME typesets accepted papers prior to publication, it is

not necessary for authors to do more than structural formatting for the
body of the paper. Figures and tables should not be inserted in the
text, but each should be included on a separate page at the end of the
paper. For readability, please be sure to use double spacing.
A citation must appear for each reference in the reference
section. Citations should be consecutively numbered using square
brackets [1]. The sentence punctuation follows the brackets [2].
Multiple references [2, 3] or a range of references [4-7] should appear
within a single set of brackets. In sentences, refer simply to the
reference number, as in [8]. Do not use Ref. [9] or reference [9]
except at the beginning of a sentence: Reference [9] shows ... . The
References should be in a separate section at the end of the paper.
Equations should be numbered consecutively beginning with (1)
to the end of the paper, including any appendices. The number should
be enclosed in parentheses and set flush right in the column on the
same line as the equation.
LEVEL-ONE HEADS
The text should be organized into logical parts or sections.
Headings and subheadings should appear throughout the paper to
divide the subject matter to emphasize the major elements. These
headings assist the reader in following the trend of thought and in

forming a mental picture of the points of importance. Parts or sections

may be numbered, if desired, but paragraphs should not be numbered.
COPYRIGHT REMINDER
If any material that is included in a paper is under copyright, the
authors of the paper are responsible for obtaining copyright
permissions, including any information required by the copyright
holder, and be able to produce such permissions upon request.
Level-Two Heads
All papers should be concise regardless of length. Long quotations
should be avoided by referring to sources. Illustrations and tables,
where they help clarify the meaning or are necessary to demonstrate
results properly, are desirable, but they should be kept to a practicable
minimum, and included on individual pages at the end of the
manuscript.
Level-Three Heads
It is ASME policy that SI units of measurement be included in all papers
with the U.S. customary units provided in parentheses or in a
supplementary table.
ACKNOWLEDGMENT
Please spell acknowledgment in American English is without an e
after the g using it in the singular for the heading even if there are
multiple acknowledgments. Specific company names should be

mentioned only in the acknowledgment and not in the body of the

manuscript.
FUNDING
A separate section listing funding sources should be included. The full
names along with their abbreviation should be included, e.g., U.S.
Department of Energy (DOE).

Information Regarding Figures and Tables

Each figure and table should be included on a separate sheet

(one figure or table per page) at the end of the manuscript.

Tables can be created using Microsoft Word.

Figures (graphics files) must be saved as a TIFF, PostScript, or

EPS (Encapsulated PostScript) files for uploading individually if
the paper is accepted for publication

ASME Papers are targeted for 9 typeset pages, which is

approximately 9000 words (9 typeset pages). Using 1000 words
for each typeset page, figures can be estimated at ~250 words
for each quarter of a column they will occupy.

Text in figures should be reviewed for legibility for reproduction in

the following sizes:

Single Column
20 picas
8 cm
3.25 in
Double Column
40 picas
16 cm wide
6.5 in.
