The application of hybrid composites in lightweight engineering enables the combination material-specific advantages fiber-reinforced polymers and classical metals. interface between connected materials is particular interest since failure often initializes bonding zone. In this contribution connection an aluminum component a glass epoxy considered on microscale. constitutive modeling accounts ...

In the present work, a diffuse interface model has been used to numerically investigate laser-induced cavitation of nano-/micro-bubbles. The mesoscale approach is able describe process in its entirety, starting from vapor bubble formation due focused laser energy deposition up macroscopic motion. particular, simulations show complete and detailed description subsequent breakdown wave emission w...

Composition and generalization/ specialization Model perceptible objects, implementing chosen metaphors, describe interface for navigational objects define lay-out of interfa...

Model-Driven Development (MDD) has encouraged the use of automated software tools that facilitate the development process from modelling to coding. User Interfaces (UI), as a significant part of most applications, should also be modelled using a MDD perspective. This paper presents an Eclipse GMF tool for modelling user-interaction diagrams –an specialization of the UML state-machines for UI de...

system and the procedure defined on the abstract system can be translated to apply to the candidate architecture because they share the same inputs and outputs. The limitation with using the abstract system concept is that it requires all potential architectures have the same interface to the environment. This works well for the excavator example because all potential architectures must be able...
