Ideal physical element representation from reduced bond graphs
(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 ...
A review of proper modeling techniques
(Affiliation: University of Michigan, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Ann Arbor, MI, United StatesAffiliation: University of Cyprus, Department of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering, Nicosia, CyprusAffiliation: Memorial University of Newfoundland, Department of Engineering and Applied Science, St. John's, NL, CanadaCorrespondence Address: Ersal, T.University of Michigan, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Ann Arbor, MI, United Statesemail: tersal@umich.edu, 2008)
A dynamic system model is proper for a particular application if it achieves the accuracy required by the application with minimal complexity. Because model complexity often - but not always - correlates inversely with ...
Target cascading in vehicle redesign: A class VI truck study
(2002)
The analytical target cascading process is applied to the redesign of a U.S. class VI truck. Necessary simulation and analysis models for predicting vehicle dynamics, powertrain, and suspension behaviour are developed. ...
Systematic model decoupling through assessment of power-conserving constraints - An engine dynamics case study
(American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2004)
Simplified models for predicting engine mount forces have traditionally been developed based on the assumption that for a well-balanced low-speed engine, the reciprocating dynamics can be decoupled from the three-dimensional ...
Determining model accuracy as a function of inputs and system parameters
(American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2004)
Vital to the effectiveness of simulation-based design is having a system model of known quality. Previous research introduced an algorithm called AVASIM for assessing model validity systematically and quantitatively. AVASIM ...
