چکیده

This paper is a review of research on the application of laboratory methods to System Dynamics (SD). Although laboratory methods have been used in psychology for many years, our review focuses on the laboratory experiments developed from the experimental economics field and on their contributions to SD and the management sciences. In particular, we examine the use of experimental methods for estimating the decisions used by SD models, and the intersection of SD and laboratory experiments in theory testing and theory building. We also discuss methodological issues that experiments in SD should address to improve the value of experimental results and we remark the main findings of the reviewed works.

Improvement of position measurement for 6R robot using magnetic encoder AS5045

Recording the variation of joint angles as a feedback to the control unit is frequent in articulated arms. In this paper, magnetic sensor AS5045, which is a contactless encoder, is employed to measure joint angles of 6R robot and the performance of that is examined. The sensor has a low volume, two digital outputs and provides a high resolution measurement for users; furthermore its zero positi...

The effect of water column stability on underwater oil blowouts plume dynamics and peeling height

Considering the increase in number of offshore oil production projects and for better understanding of plume dynamics in accidental underwater oil blowouts, a series of laboratory experiments in a square cross section open top basin were carried out to investigate the effect of changes in seawater stratification and water column stability on plume dynamics and peeling height.  Accordingly the o...

Comparative Study of Random Matrices Capability in Uncertainty Detection of Pier’s Dynamics

Because of random nature of many dependent variables in coastal engineering, treatment of effective parameters is generally associated with uncertainty. Numerical models are often used for dynamic analysis of complex structures, including mechanical systems. Furthermore, deterministic models are not sufficient for exact anticipation of structure’s dynamic response, but probabilistic models...

Determination of Tensile Strength and Crack Growth of a Typical Polymer Concrete Using Circular Disc Samples

Cracked and un-cracked Brazilian disc specimens subjected to diametral compression were used for conducting fracture toughness and tensile strength experiments on a polymer concrete (PC) material. The value of mode I fracture toughness (KIc) was determined from the center- cracked Brazilian disc and the indirect tensile strength (σt) was obtained from the un-cracked Brazilian disc specimen. The...

Numerical Determination of Delamination Onset in Laminated Symmetric DCB Specimen

In this study, a novel numerical method is proposed for determination of mode-I interlaminar fracture toughness, GIc, in multi-directional (MD) double cantilever beam (DCB) specimens using fracture properties of unidirectional DCB specimens. Two factors, β and Dc are defined to minimize the undesirable effects on strain energy release rate. β describes the difference between maximum and average...
