Abstract: In recent years, algorithms have been developed to help automate the production of dynamic system models. Part of this effort has been the development of algorithms that use modeling metrics ...

Abstract: This paper proposes a technique to quantitatively and systematically search for decoupling among elements of a dynamic system model, and to partition models in which decoupling is found. The ...

Abstract: Simulation is a key tool for everyday engineering practice, and its use is rapidly increasing with the development of powerful, inexpensive computing hardware and integrated simulation environments. ...

Abstract: Accurate estimation of engine vibrations is essential in the design of new engines, engine mounts, and the vehicle frames to which they are attached. Mount force prediction has traditionally ...

Abstract: A dynamic system model is proper for a particular application if it achieves the accuracy required by the application with minimal complexity. Because model complexity often—but not always—correlates ...
