Outline for a Morphology of Modelling Methods Contribution to a General Theory of Modelling
نویسنده
چکیده
The purpose of this article is to classify and compare – in essence to model – a number of different types of modelling methods employed within Operations Research and the Management Sciences (OR/MS). The classification of these methods is based on a selected number of generally recognised modelling properties. On the basis of this meta-model, requirements for the successful application of different modelling methods – for the study of given systems or objects of scientific enquiry – can be examined. The method employed for this meta-modelling task is General Morphological Analysis (GMA). The problem of a General Theory of Modelling (GTM) is also discussed.

A New Procedure for Determining Current Harmonic Contribution around an Operation Point at PCC Using Load Modelling Based on Crossed Frequency Admittance Matrix
Abstract:Today, one of the important issues of power quality (PQ) in power systems is the current harmonics. Increasing expansion of nonlinear loads at different parts of the electric network makes harmonic distortion flow through the network. This causes the network to have background voltage and current harmonic distortion and even affect on the PQ of linear load performance. Therefore, it is...
متن کاملApplication of Stochastic Optimal Control, Game Theory and Information Fusion for Cyber Defense Modelling
The present paper addresses an effective cyber defense model by applying information fusion based game theoretical approaches. In the present paper, we are trying to improve previous models by applying stochastic optimal control and robust optimization techniques. Jump processes are applied to model different and complex situations in cyber games. Applying jump processes we propose some m...
متن کاملModelling of Crack Growth Using a New Fracture Criteria Based Peridynamics
Peridynamics (PD) is a nonlocal continuum theory based on integro-differential equations without spatial derivatives. The elongation fracture criterion is implicitly incorporated in the PD theory, and fracture is a natural outcome of the simulation. On the other hand, a new fracture criterion based on the crack opening displacement combined with peridynamic (PD-COD) is proposed. When the relati...

متن کاملModelling and Numerical Simulation of Cutting Stress in End Milling of Titanium Alloy using Carbide Coated Tool
Based on the cutting force theory, the cutting stress in end milling operation was predicted satisfactorily through simulation of using finite element method. The mechanistic force models were introduced in high accuracy force predictions for most applications. The material properties in the simulations were defined based on the cutting force theory, as a function of strain and strain rate wher...
