Stochastic Crash Simulation – A Bit of History
Below is a reproduction of a 2004 article, “Chaos!”, that appeared in the magazine CAD User, and based on anContinue Reading
Complexity-based Computer Aided Design
As products become more complex they become more fragile. It is necessary to focus on product robustness by making productsContinue Reading
How Refined Should an FE Mesh be?
As compute power increases it is easy to generate FE meshes quickly and efficiently. This allows analysts to reduce theContinue Reading
On Control Systems and Model-free Methods
Historically, feedback has been used in control system engineering as a means for satisfying design constraints requiring: Stabilization of insufficientlyContinue Reading
Complexity and Aircraft Cabin Environment – An Update
Following the first experiment with the iCOMOX sensor onboard a Cessna 172 Seaplane, three new tests, onboard commercial jets, haveContinue Reading
Condition-Based Maintenance
Modern defence platforms, such as tanks, corvettes, aircraft carriers, submarines, or aircraft, function thanks to a multitude of software, hardwareContinue Reading
Real-time Aircrew Health Monitoring with QCM
Fighterpilots and aircrew must be in optimal health and fitness to handle the physical demands of modern aerial operations andContinue Reading
Background Concepts of Robust Design
Robust design (and decision-making) has been a goal for engineers and managers for quite some time now. But what actuallyContinue Reading
Complexity and Aircraft Cabin Environment
Ontonix and QBT (Chiasso, Switzerland) have performed an experiment in which QCM Technology has been used to measure the complexityContinue Reading
