Modular Platform Design for Mechatronic Systems using Axiomatic Design and Mechatronic Function Modules

Modular Design of Mechatronic Systems with Function Modeling

This paper develops a modularization scheme based on the functional model of a system. The modularization approach makes use of the function-behavior-state (FBS) model of the system to derive the entity relations. The design structure matrix (DSM) is automatically constructed based on the FBS model. In this way the tedious work of filling the DSM entries based on expert knowledge is avoided. Th...

Design of Mechatronic Systems

Embedded Software Design for Mechatronic Systems *)

The other important property of reactive systems is the inherent concurrency of their functionality. By notions of modern software design, the natural concurrency in interaction between a reactive system and its environment and within the system itself has to be reflected on the embedded software architecture. Insisting on the resemblance between the real-life problem structure and the structur...

Integrated Mechatronic Design for Servo Mechanical Systems

Mechatronic systems typically exhibited high a degree of complexity due to the strong cross coupling of the involved different engineering disciplines such as mechanical, electronic and computer. This complexity originates from the large number of couplings on various levels of the contributing elements and components, coming from different disciplines. The difficulty for the design engineer in...
