Embedded Mechatronic Systems, Volume 2: Analysis of Failures, Modeling, Simulation and Optimization

Embedded Mechatronic Systems 2: Analysis of Failures, Modeling, Simulation and Optimization presents advances in research within the field of mechatronic systems, which integrates reliability into the design process. Providing many detailed examples, this book develops a characterization methodology for faults in mechatronic systems. It analyzes the multi-physical modeling of faults, revealing weaknesses in design and failure mechanisms. This development of meta-models enables us to simulate effects on the reliability of conditions of use and manufacture.
