Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Internal interfaces in polycrystals and external interfaces between contacting solids play an important role in mechanical phenomena such as plastic deformation and frictional sliding. The understanding of relaxation mechanisms at these interfaces is critical in functionality control, particularly at the nanometer-scale where interfaces dominate. This thesis is concerned with the atomistic modeling of relaxation mechanisms on two types of interfaces: (1) grain boundaries (GBs) in polycrystals under high nanoindentation stresses; (2) atomic-scale single-asperity contacts during stick-slip friction.

Book Synopsis First Principles Modelling of Shape Memory Alloys by : Oliver Kastner
Download or read book First Principles Modelling of Shape Memory Alloys written by Oliver Kastner and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-07-31 with total page 183 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Materials sciences relate the macroscopic properties of materials to their microscopic structure and postulate the need for holistic multiscale research. The investigation of shape memory alloys is a prime example in this regard. This particular class of materials exhibits strong coupling of temperature, strain and stress, determined by solid state phase transformations of their metallic lattices. The present book presents a collection of simulation studies of this behaviour. Employing conceptually simple but comprehensive models, the fundamental material properties of shape memory alloys are qualitatively explained from first principles. Using contemporary methods of molecular dynamics simulation experiments, it is shown how microscale dynamics may produce characteristic macroscopic material properties. The work is rooted in the materials sciences of shape memory alloys and covers thermodynamical, micro-mechanical and crystallographical aspects. It addresses scientists in these research fields and their students.

Book Synopsis Netcentric System of Systems Engineering with DEVS Unified Process by : Saurabh Mittal
Download or read book Netcentric System of Systems Engineering with DEVS Unified Process written by Saurabh Mittal and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2018-09-03 with total page 713 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In areas such as military, security, aerospace, and disaster management, the need for performance optimization and interoperability among heterogeneous systems is increasingly important. Model-driven engineering, a paradigm in which the model becomes the actual software, offers a promising approach toward systems of systems (SoS) engineering. However, model-driven engineering has largely been unachieved in complex dynamical systems and netcentric SoS, partly because modeling and simulation (M&S) frameworks are stove-piped and not designed for SoS composability. Addressing this gap, Netcentric System of Systems Engineering with DEVS Unified Process presents a methodology for realizing the model-driven engineering vision and netcentric SoS using DEVS Unified Process (DUNIP). The authors draw on their experience with Discrete Event Systems Specification (DEVS) formalism, System Entity Structure (SES) theory, and applying model-driven engineering in the context of a netcentric SoS. They describe formal model-driven engineering methods for netcentric M&S using standards-based approaches to develop and test complex dynamic models with DUNIP. The book is organized into five sections: Section I introduces undergraduate students and novices to the world of DEVS. It covers systems and SoS M&S as well as DEVS formalism, software, modeling language, and DUNIP. It also assesses DUNIP with the requirements of the Department of Defense’s (DoD) Open Unified Technical Framework (OpenUTF) for netcentric Test and Evaluation (T&E). Section II delves into M&S-based systems engineering for graduate students, advanced practitioners, and industry professionals. It provides methodologies to apply M&S principles to SoS design and reviews the development of executable architectures based on a framework such as the Department of Defense Architecture Framework (DoDAF). It also describes an approach for building netcentric knowledge-based contingency-driven systems. Section III guides graduate students, advanced DEVS users, and industry professionals who are interested in building DEVS virtual machines and netcentric SoS. It discusses modeling standardization, the deployment of models and simulators in a netcentric environment, event-driven architectures, and more. Section IV explores real-world case studies that realize many of the concepts defined in the previous chapters. Section V outlines the next steps and looks at how the modeling of netcentric complex adaptive systems can be attempted using DEVS concepts. It touches on the boundaries of DEVS formalism and the future work needed to utilize advanced concepts like weak and strong emergence, self-organization, scale-free systems, run-time modularity, and event interoperability. This groundbreaking work details how DUNIP offers a well-structured, platform-independent methodology for the modeling and simulation of netcentric system of systems.

Book Synopsis Development of an Object-Orientated DEVS-Simulator with MATLAB® by : Christina Deatcu
Download or read book Development of an Object-Orientated DEVS-Simulator with MATLAB® written by Christina Deatcu and published by diplom.de. This book was released on 2005-04-13 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Inhaltsangabe:Abstract: To solve problems of real world systems using scientific methods, the model-based approach is an effective and widely used method. To help rebuilding a system properly, there exist formalistic descriptions of systems behavior. One of several system specification formalisms, the DEVS formalism and associated abstract simulator algorithms provide the bases of this work. The DEVS formalism offers ways to describe systems which change their state driven by events at discrete times. Several implementations for computer aided simulation based on the DEVS formalism and associated abstract simulator concepts using object-orientated programming languages exist. One of those implementations, the MatlabDEVS simulation runtime system was modified and improved during this project and MatlabDEVS2, a modified version was developed. To make improvement possible, a proper understanding of the fundamental theories is indispensable. Hence, they are exhibited as a part of this work. Because the modeler should be supported by the computer application while passing the process of modeling and simulation, the user interfaces are crucial for the quality of the system. The existing MatlabDEVS system did not offer any support for modeling and simulation, as well as it was not well documented. Object orientated programming within the MATLAB® programming environment results in a complicated file structure representing the classes. This fact cannot be influenced. Hence, a GUI for modeling and simulation which creates the source code files for the classes was implemented. The DEVS (Discrete Event Systems Specification) formalism introduced and developed by Zeigler is a formalistic way of describing systems which are subjects to event-driven changes of system states. An example for such a system could be any kind of sales office where something happens, if a customer arrives at the shop. The system then changes state, which means that the salesman is busy, or if he was already, the waiting queue grows. After a given time the customer is served and the system changes state again. Characteristically, the time base for such a system is continuous, this means a customer could arrive at any time not just at discrete times. The DEVS formalism and associated simulator concepts have been implemented for simulation means in different ways using several object-orientated programming languages. To gain acquaintance of this field, first the general rules for [...]

This book was released on 2014-05-10 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Object-Oriented Simulation with Hierarchical, Modular Models: Intelligent Agents and Endomorphic Systems describes an approach to object-oriented discrete event simulation and the concepts of hierarchical, modular model construction, The implementation of the concepts of multifaceted modeling methodology in the DEVS-Scheme modeling and simulation environment is discussed. The use of the DEVS-Scheme environment in modeling artificial intelligent agents is also considered, along with the concept of endomorphism to characterize the application of self-embedded models, including models of self. Comprised of 15 chapters, this book begins with an overview of the dimensions of knowledge representation in simulation environments, followed by a discussion on object-oriented programming as well as the concepts of modular, hierarchical models and the system entity structure. Subsequent chapters focus on digraph-models and experimental frames; DEVS formalism and DEVS-Scheme simulation environment; a model base for simple multi-computer architectures; and rule-based specification of atomic models. Model bases in endomorphic systems and intelligent agents are also examined. This monograph will be of interest to simulation theorists as well as practitioners and researchers in the fields of artificial intelligence, systems engineering, computer science and engineering, and operations research.
Book Synopsis Foundations of Multi-Paradigm Modelling for Cyber-Physical Systems by : Paulo Carreira
Download or read book Foundations of Multi-Paradigm Modelling for Cyber-Physical Systems written by Paulo Carreira and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-05-07 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This open access book coherently gathers well-founded information on the fundamentals of and formalisms for modelling cyber-physical systems (CPS). Highlighting the cross-disciplinary nature of CPS modelling, it also serves as a bridge for anyone entering CPS from related areas of computer science or engineering. Truly complex, engineered systems—known as cyber-physical systems—that integrate physical, software, and network aspects are now on the rise. However, there is no unifying theory nor systematic design methods, techniques or tools for these systems. Individual (mechanical, electrical, network or software) engineering disciplines only offer partial solutions. A technique known as Multi-Paradigm Modelling has recently emerged suggesting to model every part and aspect of a system explicitly, at the most appropriate level(s) of abstraction, using the most appropriate modelling formalism(s), and then weaving the results together to form a representation of the system. If properly applied, it enables, among other global aspects, performance analysis, exhaustive simulation, and verification. This book is the first systematic attempt to bring together these formalisms for anyone starting in the field of CPS who seeks solid modelling foundations and a comprehensive introduction to the distinct existing techniques that are multi-paradigmatic. Though chiefly intended for master and post-graduate level students in computer science and engineering, it can also be used as a reference text for practitioners.
Book Synopsis Model-Based Design for Embedded Systems by : Gabriela Nicolescu
Download or read book Model-Based Design for Embedded Systems written by Gabriela Nicolescu and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2018-09-03 with total page 670 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The demands of increasingly complex embedded systems and associated performance computations have resulted in the development of heterogeneous computing architectures that often integrate several types of processors, analog and digital electronic components, and mechanical and optical components—all on a single chip. As a result, now the most prominent challenge for the design automation community is to efficiently plan for such heterogeneity and to fully exploit its capabilities. A compilation of work from internationally renowned authors, Model-Based Design for Embedded Systems elaborates on related practices and addresses the main facets of heterogeneous model-based design for embedded systems, including the current state of the art, important challenges, and the latest trends. Focusing on computational models as the core design artifact, this book presents the cutting-edge results that have helped establish model-based design and continue to expand its parameters. The book is organized into three sections: Real-Time and Performance Analysis in Heterogeneous Embedded Systems, Design Tools and Methodology for Multiprocessor System-on-Chip, and Design Tools and Methodology for Multidomain Embedded Systems. The respective contributors share their considerable expertise on the automation of design refinement and how to relate properties throughout this refinement while enabling analytic and synthetic qualities. They focus on multi-core methodological issues, real-time analysis, and modeling and validation, taking into account how optical, electronic, and mechanical components often interface. Model-based design is emerging as a solution to bridge the gap between the availability of computational capabilities and our inability to make full use of them yet. This approach enables teams to start the design process using a high-level model that is gradually refined through abstraction levels to ultimately yield a prototype. When executed well, model-based design encourages enhanced performance and quicker time to market for a product. Illustrating a broad and diverse spectrum of applications such as in the automotive aerospace, health care, consumer electronics, this volume provides designers with practical, readily adaptable modeling solutions for their own practice.
