Graded components are a resource-conserving alternative to today’s composite materials. Functional gradation means a steady gradient of the property values through the three spatial dimensions of the component. At the present time there is no methodology to specify the graded properties in the component description. Its starting point takes place in the conventional CAD-Models. The component geometry...
Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) is regarded as the key to face the challenges of tomorrow's product engineering. Core of the MBSE is the so called system model, enabling a consistent specification of the product from different points of view. Nevertheless, we fear that the MBSE vision of INCOSE is not realistically achievable: There is much focus on the technical issues of MBSE, e.g. automatic...
Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) gained momentum within the last years and is regarded as the key to face the challenges of product engineering. Nevertheless, numerous barriers exist that inhibit the implementation of MBSE in industrial application. One is about what constitutes MBSE - up to now there is no single view on this topic. This is due to the numerous disciplines involved in the enhancements...
Mechanical engineering considerably benefits from the increasing use of information technology. The arising new discipline is called mechatronics, which expresses the close integration of mechanics, electronics, control engineering, and software engineering. Hence, the design and production of such systems is an interdisciplinary and complex task, which requires effective and continuous cooperation...
Product imitations threaten the market success of many producers of original products and derogate their return in product innovations. Effective product protection requires a complementary bundle of strategic, product and process related, IT-based, labelling, communicative and legal protection measures - so called protection conceptions. The application of these protection measures needs to be planned...
Machines are omnipresent. They produce, they transport. Machines facilitate work and assist. The increasing penetration of mechanical engineering by information technology enables considerable benefits. This circumstance is expressed by the term mechatronics, which means the close interaction of mechanics, electronics, control engineering and software engineering to improve the behavior of a technical...
