Adaptive modeling of reliability properties for control and supervision purposes

Kai-Uwe Dettmann, Dirk Söffker (2011)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

Similarity:

Modeling of reliability characteristics typically assumes that components and systems fail if a certain individual damage level is exceeded. Every (mechanical) system damage increases irreversibly due to employed loading and (mechanical) stress, respectively. The main issue of damage estimation is adequate determination of the actual state-of-damage. Several mathematical modeling approaches are known in the literature, focusing on the task of how loading effects damage progression (e.g.,...

Estimation of feedwater heater parameters based on a grey-box approach

Tomasz Barszcz, Piotr Czop (2011)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

Similarity:

The first-principle modeling of a feedwater heater operating in a coal-fired power unit is presented, along with a theoretical discussion concerning its structural simplifications, parameter estimation, and dynamical validation. The model is a part of the component library of modeling environments, called the Virtual Power Plant (VPP). The main purpose of the VPP is simulation of power generation installations intended for early warning diagnostic applications. The model was developed...

Modeling Pulsatility in the Human Cardiovascular System

de los Reyes V, Aurelio, Kappel, Franz (2010)

Mathematica Balkanica New Series

Similarity:

AMS Subj. Classification: 92C30 In this study we investigated, modified and combined two existing mathematical cardiovascular models, a non-pulsatile global model and a simplified pulsatile left heart model. The first goal of the study was to integrate these models. The main objective is to have a global lumped parameter pulsatile model that predicts the pressures in the systemic and pulmonary circulation, and specifically the pulsatile pressures in the the finger arteries where...

Modeling and simulation of a blood pump for the development of a left ventricular assist system controller

Yih-Choung Yu, J. Robert Boston, Marwan A. Simaan, Phil J. Miller, James F. Antaki (1999)

Kybernetika

Similarity:

A mathematical model describing the pressure-volume relationship of the Novacor left ventricular assist system (LVAS) was developed. The model consisted of lumped resistance, capacitance, and inductance elements with one time-varying capacitor to simulate the cyclical pressure generation of the system. The ejection and filling portions of the pump cycle were modeled with two separate functions. The corresponding model parameters were estimated by least squares fit to experimental data...

Extracting second-order structures from single-input state-space models: Application to model order reduction

Jérôme Guillet, Benjamin Mourllion, Abderazik Birouche, Michel Basset (2011)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

Similarity:

This paper focuses on the model order reduction problem of second-order form models. The aim is to provide a reduction procedure which guarantees the preservation of the physical structural conditions of second-order form models. To solve this problem, a new approach has been developed to transform a second-order form model from a state-space realization which ensures the preservation of the structural conditions. This new approach is designed for controllable single-input state-space...
