      Bond graph based modal decomposition of systems with non-proportional damping 

      Louca, Loucas S. (Affiliation: Department of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering, University of Cyprus, 75 Kallipoleos Street, Nicosia 1678, CyprusCorrespondence Address: Louca, L.S.Department of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering, University of Cyprus, 75 Kallipoleos Street, Nicosia 1678, Cyprusemail: lslouca@ucy.ac.cy, 2012)
      Modal analysis of lumped parameter and continuous dynamic linear systems is extensively used to study their dynamic behavior and controller design. In both cases, a reduction of the model size that does not degrade accuracy ...

      Extension and application of an algorithm for systematic identification of weak coupling and partitions in dynamic system models 

      Rideout, D. G.; Stein, J. L.; Louca, Loucas S. (2009)
      This paper reviews and extends a technique to detect weak coupling (one-way coupling or complete decoupling) among elements of a dynamic system model, and to partition and reduce models in which weak coupling is found. The ...

      Finite segment model complexity of an Euler-Bernoulli beam 

      Louca, Loucas S. (2015)
      A common approach for modeling the dynamic behavior of distributed parameter systems is the approximation through finite-segment models. These models are able to accurately predict the dynamic behavior of the system given ...

      Ideal physical element representation from reduced bond graphs 

      Louca, Loucas S.; Stein, J. L. (2002)
      Previous research has demonstrated that bond graphs are a natural and convenient representation to implement energy-based metrics that evaluate the relative 'value' of energy elements in a dynamic system model. Bond graphs ...

      Model reduction of modal representations 

      Louca, Loucas S.; Xydas, E. (American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2006)
      Dynamic analysis is extensively used to study the behavior of continuous and lumped parameter linear systems. In addition to the physical space, analyses can also be performed in the modal space where useful frequency ...

      Modelling and reduction techniques for studies of integrated hybrid vehicle systems 

      Louca, Loucas S.; Yildir, B. U. (2006)
      Models of integrated vehicle systems are essential for designing hybrid vehicles by means of simulation-based optimization. Given the complexity of hybrid vehicle systems, designing is a time consuming process that requires ...
