This paper will investigate the use of large scale multibody dynamics (MBD) models for real-time vehicle simulation. Current state of the art in the real-time solution of vehicle uses 15 degree of freedom models, but there is a need for higher-fidelity systems. To increase the fidelity of models uses this paper will propose the use of the following techniques: implicit integration, parallel processing and co-simulation in a real-time environment.

State-of-the-art mechatronic systems offer inherent intelligence that enables them to autonomously adapt their behavior to current environmental conditions and to their own system state. This autonomous behavior adaptation is made possible by software in combination with complex sensor and actuator systems and by sophisticated information processing, all of which make these systems increasingly complex. This increasing complexity makes the design process a challenging task and brings new complex possibilities for operation and maintenance. However, with the risk of increased system complexity also comes the chance to adapt system behavior based on current reliability, which in turn increases reliability. The development of such an adaption strategy requires appropriate methods to evaluate reliability based on currently selected system behavior. A common approach to implement such adaptivity is to base system behavior on different working points that are obtained using multiobjective optimization. During operation, selection among these allows a changed operating strategy. To allow for multiobjective optimization, an accurate system model including system reliability is required. This model is repeatedly evaluated by the optimization algorithm. At present, modeling of system reliability and synchronization of the models of behavior and reliability is a laborious manual task and thus very error-prone. Since system behavior is crucial for system reliability, an integrated model is introduced that integrates system behavior and system reliability. The proposed approach is used to formulate reliability-related objective functions for a clutch test rig that are used to compute feasible working points using multiobjective optimization.

Various authors have emphasized the spatial information resident in an electron micrograph taken with adequately coherent radiation. In view of the completion of at least one such instrument, this opportunity is taken to summarize the state of the art of processing such micrographs. We use the usual symbols for the aberration coefficients, and supplement these with £ and 6 for the transverse coherence length and the fractional energy spread respectively. He also assume a weak, biologically interesting sample, with principal interest lying in the molecular skeleton remaining after obvious hydrogen loss and other radiation damage has occurred.

Over the past few years it has become apparent in our multi-user facility that the computer system and software supplied in 1985 with our CAMECA CAMEBAX-MICRO electron microprobe analyzer has the greatest potential for improvement and updating of any component of the instrument. While the standard CAMECA software running on a DEC PDP-11/23+ computer under the RSX-11M operating system can perform almost any task required of the instrument, the commands are not always intuitive and can be difficult to remember for the casual user (of which our laboratory has many). Given the widespread and growing use of other microcomputers (such as PC’s and Macintoshes) by users of the microprobe, the PDP has become the “oddball” and has also fallen behind the state-of-the-art in terms of processing speed and disk storage capabilities. Upgrade paths within products available from DEC are considered to be too expensive for the benefits received. After using a Macintosh for other tasks in the laboratory, such as instrument use and billing records, word processing, and graphics display, its unique and “friendly” user interface suggested an easier-to-use system for computer control of the electron microprobe automation. Specifically a Macintosh IIx was chosen for its capacity for third-party add-on cards used in instrument control.
