This thesis describes an investigation into the practical use of ontologies for the
development of information systems. Ontologies are formal descriptions of shared …

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 …

The series Advances in Industrial Control aims to report and encourage technology transfer
in control engineering. The rapid development of control technology has an impact on all …

To meet rising demands in performance and emissions compliance, companies are driven
to develop systems of ever-increasing complexity. In-the-loop methods use a hybrid …

This paper describes a test cell setup for concurrent running of a real engine and a vehicle
system simulation, and its use for evaluating engine performance when integrated with a …

A nonintrusive measurement technique is presented numerically for simultaneous
measurement of three-dimensional (3D) soot temperature and volume fraction fields in the …

An accurate modeling of gun barrel temperature variation over time is important to assess
wear and the number of shot fires needed to reach cook-off. Using lumped parameter …

This paper introduces research leading to a computer-aided design tool in which
engineering designers can test various design concepts (topologies) in an environment …

The importance of monitoring the cutting force in the turning process has been well
recognized in industry as well as in the open literature. This paper proposes a cutting force …

This dissertation combines electrochemistry-based battery models and optimal control
theory to study power management in energy storage/conversion systems. This topic is …
