Modelling and Simulation of Integrated Systems in Engineering: Issues of Methodology, Quality, Testing and Application

Modelling and Simulation of Integrated Systems in Engineering: Issues of Methodology, Quality, Testing and Application This book places particular emphasis on issues of model quality and ideas of model testing and validation.\n\nMathematical and computer-based models provide a foundation for explaining complex behaviour, decision-making, engineering design and for real-time simulators for research and training. Many engineering design techniques depend on suitable models, assessment of the adequacy of a given model for an intended application is therefore critically important. Generic model structures and dependable libraries of sub-models that can be applied repeatedly are increasingly important. Applications are drawn from the fields of mechanical, aeronautical and control engineering, and involve non-linear lumped-parameter models described by ordinary differential equations.Focuses on issues of model quality and the suitability of a given model for a specific application Multidisciplinary problems within engineering feature strongly in the applications The development and testing of nonlinear dynamic models is given very strong emphasis Modelling and Simulation of Integrated Systems in Engineering: Issues of Methodology, Quality, Testing and Application is written by Murray-Smith, D J and published by Woodhead Publishing.
