Architecture and Design Methodology of Self-Optimizing Mechatronic Systems
'IntechOpen', 2021Co-Authors: Jürgen Gausemeier, Sascha KahlAbstract:The paradigm of self-optimization will enable fascinating perspectives for the future development of mechanical engineering systems. These systems rely on the close interaction of mechanics, electrical engineering/electronics, control engineering and software engineering, which is aptly expressed by the term Mechatronics. At present there is no established methodology for the conceptual design of mechatronic systems, let alone for self-optimizing systems. Concerning the conceptual design of such systems, the main challenge consists in the specification of a domain-spanning principle solution, which describes the basic construction as well as the mode of operation in a domain-spanning way. The presented specification technique offers the possibility to create a principle solution for advanced mechatronic systems, with regard to self-optimizing aspects, such as "application scenarios" and "syste

dependability of self optimizing mechatronic systems
2014Co-Authors: Jürgen Gausemeier, Wilhelm Schafer, Franz J Rammig, Walter SextroAbstract:Intelligent technical systems, which combine mechanical, electrical and software engineering with methods from control engineering and advanced mathematics, go far beyond the state of the art in Mechatronics and open up fascinating perspectives. Among these systems are so-called self-optimizing systems, which are able to adapt their behavior autonomously and flexibly to changing operating conditions. The Collaborative Research Center 614 "Self-optimizing concepts and structures in mechanical engineering" pursued the long-term aim to enable others to develop dependable self-optimizing systems. Assuring their dependability poses new challenges. However, self-optimization also offers the possibility to adapt the system's behavior to improve dependability during operation. The aim of this book is to provide methods and techniques to master the challenges and to exploit the possibilities given by self-optimization. The reader will be able to develop self-optimizing systems that fulfill and surpass today’s dependability requirements easily. This book is directed to researchers and practitioners alike. It gives a brief introduction to the holistic development approach for self-optimizing mechatronic systems and the steps required to assure a dependable product design starting with the very early conceptual design phase. A guideline to select suitable methods for each step and the methods themselves are included. Each method is individually introduced, many examples and full references are given.

solution patterns of software engineering for the system design of advanced mechatronic systems
2012 9th France-Japan & 7th Europe-Asia Congress on Mechatronics (MECATRONICS) 13th Int'l Workshop on Research and Education in Mechatronics (REM), 2012Co-Authors: Harald Anacker, Jürgen Gausemeier, Roman Dumitrescu, Stefan Dziwok, Wilhelm SchaferAbstract:Recently, Mechatronics as a self-contained discipline has doubtlessly shaped the development of technical systems. Mechatronics means the close interaction of mechanics, electronics, control engineering and software engineering in order to achieve a better systems behavior. Due to the advancement of information and communication technologies, the functionality of mechatronic systems will go far beyond current standards along with the potential to increase their robustness, flexibility and reliability. The design of such advanced mechatronic systems is a challenge. The increasing complexity requires a consistent comprehension of the tasks between all the developers involved. Especially during the early design phases (conceptual design/ system design), the communication and cooperation between the mechanical, electrical, control and software engineers is necessary to design a first overall system model. In this context, the main difficulty is how to integrate into a system model the solutions that have already been successfully used and described in detail. Currently, the reuse is partially established during discipline-specific engineering — in areas such as mechanics and software engineering. Nevertheless, a catalogue of domain-spanning reusable abstracts that may describe solution patterns for holistic system designs does not exist. Hence, to create a collective solution space as wide as possible, it is necessary to abstract gradually the discipline-specific described solutions on a generic level. The precondition is a functional description. It is easy to see that a function has to depict the solution in a neutral and abstract way as well as the volitional relation between the input and the output of a system. In our work, we present the necessary abstraction of domain specific solutions exemplified by reusable and detailed described solutions of software engineering.

integrative development of product and production system for mechatronic products
Robotics and Computer-integrated Manufacturing, 2011Co-Authors: Jürgen Gausemeier, Roman Dumitrescu, Sascha Kahl, D NordsiekAbstract:The increasing penetration of mechanical engineering by information technology enables considerable benefits. The arising new discipline is referred to by the term Mechatronics, which expresses the close integration of mechanics, electrics/electronics, control engineering and software engineering. Hence, the design and production of such systems is an interdisciplinary and complex task. An effective and continuous cooperation and communication between developers from different domains during the whole development process is required. Moreover, the multidisciplinary and synergetic effectiveness of mechatronic systems as well as new production technologies cause strong interdependencies between system parts, which are to be produced. As a consequence, the production system determines the product concept. Restrictions by manufacturing technologies have to be considered already during the early stages of the product development. This contribution deals with the stated problem by providing both, a generic procedure model and a specification technique for the integrative development of mechatronic products and their production systems.

computer aided modeling of the principle solution of mechatronic systems a domain spanning methodology for the conceptual design of mechatronic systems
ASME 2010 International Design Engineering Technical Conferences and Computers and Information in Engineering Conference, 2010Co-Authors: Jürgen Gausemeier, Rafal Dorociak, Lydia KaiserAbstract:Mechatronics — the symbiotic cooperation of mechanics, electrics/electronics, control engineering and software engineering — opens up more and more fascinating perspectives for the development of future mechanical engineering products. Still, development of mechatronic systems remains a challenge. To cope with this challenge a new domain-spanning design methodology for mechatronic systems is needed. This contribution presents a design methodology, which consists of a specification technique for the domain-spanning description of the principle solution of an advanced mechatronic system, a procedure model, which defines the constituent steps of the conceptual design, their results and their order, as well as software tool, which provides means for managing the design complexity and intuitive modeling of the principle solution. The advantages of the design methodology are demonstrated in a case study from the development of an autonomous miniature robot.Copyright © 2010 by ASME

advances in standardized approach to ecad mcad collaboration
Journal of Aerospace Operations, 2015Co-Authors: Christian Emmer, Volker Jakel, Arnulf Fröhlich, Josip StjepandicAbstract:Adopting the Mechatronics as contemporary most emerging engineering discipline the integration of mechanical and electrical computer aided design (CAD) (MCAD/ECAD) systems remains a big challenge in concurrent engineering because their data models and functionality have been developed continuously further apart. Market research confirms that an integrated tool chain for ECAD and MCAD design is prerequisite for a better mechatronic development process. This paper presents the overview of various integration approaches with different degree of maturity and describes the concept of deep integration for mechatronic products conducted by ProSTEP iViP Association which combines existing standards in engineering collaboration context. Version 3 of the current ProSTEP iViP Recommendation PSI 5 entitled “ECAD/MCAD-Collaboration” provides a comprehensive specification for collaboration between the ECAD and MCAD worlds. A considerable number of vendors have now implemented the underlying data schema and integrated it in the corresponding products. As a result, users can now choose the solutions that best meet their particular needs from an increasingly wide range of efficient systems for collaborative product development within the ECAD and MCAD fields.
