High-fidelity simulations of dynamic embedded systems can be invaluable. This follow-up to “Modeling Dynamic Systems” (August 2000) presents some techniques and algorithms you might find useful. In a ...

Ask six engineers what a model is and you may get six different answers. In mechatronics, the word model carries a specific meaning, and modeling is perhaps the single most important activity in ...

We anticipate that students possess a grasp of fundamental mathematical concepts equivalent to those covered in the first year of studies for STEM majors at a US college. Additionally, a familiarity ...

In nonlinear dynamic systems, a change in one place can trigger an outsized change elsewhere. The climate, the workings of the human brain, and the behavior of the electric grid are all examples — and ...

For decades, data centers were designed with permanence in mind: fixed plans, rigid shapes and predictable life cycles. Physical constraints of legacy architectures made them inherently static. But in ...
