Object-oriented modelling of general flexible multibody systems

Object-Oriented Modelling of Parallel Hardware Systems

Object-oriented techniques like inheritance promise great benefits for the specification and design of parallel hardware systems. The difficulties which arise from the use of inheritance in parallel hardware systems are analysed in this article. Similar difficulties are well known in concurrent object-oriented programming as inheritance anomaly but are not yet investigated in object-oriented ha...

Object-oriented behavioural modelling of mechatronic systems

Mechatronic systems overcome the traditional borders of classical engineering disciplines. Behavioural modelling allows the developer to describe the behaviour of components and systems from arbitrary disciplines. This paper introduces a way to transform the functional models of those systems into an object-oriented description. The objects implementing this integration of behaviour and animati...

Numerical Analysis of Flexible Multibody Systems

An object oriented framework: From flexible multibody dynamics to fluid-structure interaction

The development of complex simulation programs within a team of researchers requires not only knowledge of the underlying mechanics and the associated algorithms, but also a detailed planning of the interfaces within the program. In particular, an object oriented framework, used for the implementation in Matlab as well as in C++ and the combination thereof provide an effective tool for the requ...

Flexible Configuration of High-Performance Object-Oriented Distributed Communication Systems

The demand for extensible, robust, and efficient distributed communication systems is increasing. Distributed communication systems are characterized by significant amounts of network traffic. Examples of these systems include global personal communication systems, telecommunication switch management platforms, video-on-demand servers, real-time market data monitoring systems, and the underlyin...
