DESIGN SHEET: A SYSTEM FOR EXPLORING DESIGN SPACE Application to Automotive Drive Train Life Analysis
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper describes Design Sheet, an advanced software system which facilitates the conceptual design of complex engineering systems. Design Sheet enables the designer to quickly explore large areas of design space and study how the different performance and cost criteria tradeoff with respect to one another. It provides an interactive interface for building analysis models in terms of systems of nonlinear algebraic equations, and automatically writes computational procedures for solving these equations based on user-specified tradeoff criteria. The paper briefly describes the principles and the methodology behind the software, and showcases some of its capabilities. To demonstrate its practical applicability, a system-level fatigue life analysis model of an automotive drive train has been developed. The paper discusses the model and how it is used in performing design tradeoff studies.

متن کاملAdaptive Voltage-based Control of Direct-drive Robots Driven by Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motors
Tracking control of the direct-drive robot manipulators in high-speed is a challenging problem. The Coriolis and centrifugal torques become dominant in the high-speed motion control. The dynamical model of the robotic system including the robot manipulator and actuators is highly nonlinear, heavily coupled, uncertain and computationally extensive in non-companion form. In order to overcome thes...
