Identification of hysteretic systems using the differential evolution algorithm
(2001)
A widely used model in the field of hysteretic or memory-dependent vibrations is that of Bouc and Wen. Different parameter values extend its use to various areas of mechanical vibrations. As a consequence an identification ...
Modelling and control of a medium-duty hybrid electric truck
(2004)
The main contributions of this paper are the development of a forward-looking hybrid vehicle simulation tool, and its application to the design of a power management control algorithm, The hybrid electric vehicle simulation ...
Vehicle model robustness: A case study of the FMTV military truck model
(2005)
Vital to the effectiveness of simulation-based design is having a model of known quality of the system being designed. The purpose of this paper is to validate a simplified dynamic model of an FMTV (Family of Medium Tactical ...
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. ...
Identification of hysteretic systems using the differential evolution algorithm
(Affiliation: Dept. of Mechanichal Engineering, University of Sheffield, Mappin Street, Sheffield S1 3JD, United KingdomCorrespondence Address: Kyprianou, A.Dept. of Mechanichal Engineering, University of Sheffield, Mappin Street, Sheffield S1 3JD, United Kingdomemail: Mep96Gak@sheffield.ac.uk, 1998)
In system identification, it is well-known that any non-linear in the parameters system, possesses a complicated error surface with many local minima. In this case the conventional algorithms, such as those based on least ...
Mathematical and computational modeling of die filling in semisolid metal processing
(1999)
A 'Bingham type', or Herschel-Bulkley constitutive relation capable of describing correctly the bulk behavior of the semisolid slurry is introduced. This relation is implemented in a modified version of the casting simulation ...
