Systems engineering in the design of mechatronic systems

Abstract

in 1992. In 1997, he completed his PhD in the area of non-linear control. He joined Robert Bosch GmbH in 1997 and is currently working in the area of modelling, simulation and control of mechatronic systems. Areas of interest: non-linear control, modelling, simulation, CAE-environments and industrial design process. Dipl.-Ing. Mikel Lasa studied mechanical engineering at the Universities of Navarra (Spain) and Compiègne (France). He joined Robert Bosch GmbH in 1997, where he is pursuing a PhD in the mechatronic domain. Dipl.-Ing. Hans-Martin Heinkel studied Electrical Engineering at University of Stuttgart. Since 1986 he is working at the central research department of Robert Bosch GmbH. Areas of interest: Design of mechatronic systems, real-time simulation. Dipl-Ing. Pierre Tirgari graduated in 1995 from the Ecole Supérieure des Sciences et Technologies de l'Ingénieur de Nancy (FRANCE) in the Department of Fluid dynamic Engineering. Between 1995-1997 he worked as research engineer in the Environmental and Applied Fluid dynamics Department of the von Karman Institut for FLUID DYNAMICS, Brussels. Since May 1997, he is working for Robert Bosch GmbH in the research and pre-development division in the department of simulation of mechatronic systems. His scientific areas of interest are the modelling of hydraulic and magnetic components.

Application of multi-objective genetic algorithms to the mechatronic design of a four bar system with continuous and discrete variables

“…The electromechanical actuators, sensors and control loops are also often designed independently of each other and independently of the mechanical structure. The drawbacks of the electromechanical approach with independent development of the mechanical, electrical, electronic, control and software components, and late design integration are outlined in many publications [2][3][4][5].…”

Organizing the fragmented landscape of multidisciplinary product development: a mapping of approaches, processes, methods and tools from the scientific literature

“…Systems engineering (SE) is an acknowledged approach to support mechatronic product development and is generally associated with the V-model (Dieterle 2005;Kleiner and Kramer 2013;Mcharek et al 2019;Mhenni et al 2014;Rothful et al 2006;Sünnetcioglu et al 2016;Turki et al 2005;Zheng et al 2017). This association between SE and initially the "Vee process model" was coined by Forsberg and Mooz (1991); however, they did not address mechatronic product development.…”

“…Other authors have complemented SE and V-model association with modelling techniques, including Function-Behavior-State modelling (Habib and Komoto 2014;Tomiyama, 2010, 2012), model-based design (Dieterle 2005;Kleiner and Kramer 2013), and system modelling techniques (Rothful et al 2006). Within the SE and V-model association, Mhenni et al (2014) focus on the system design step.…”

Developing Controller Performance Using Model-Based Design and Rapid Controller Prototyping Techniques

“…Increasing the integration between controller and mechanical design has potential to shorten the design process while increasing the performance of the designed system. Furthermore, The drawbacks with independent development of the mechanical, electrical, electronic, control and software components, and late design integration are recognized in many publications, [1,2]. Nevertheless, the subject of integrated design methods is relatively unexplored.…”
