Automobile safety depends on the correct operation of software systems that are built from many different components. For good design, these components must be isolated, on multiple axes, so they ...

The last three articles have explored the five steps to designing an embedded software architecture. So far, we’ve separated our software architecture into hardware-dependent and independent ...

When The MathWorks introduced Matlab technical-computing software more than 20 years ago, many of the first users were control-system designers. Anyone who had laboriously inverted matrices by hand to ...

An overview of the fundamentals of Finite Element Analysis (FEA) and its importance in aerospace component design. A look at how FEA software enables aerospace engineers to simulate the results of ...

Component-Based Software Performance Engineering (CBSPE) integrates the modularity of component-based software engineering with rigorous performance analysis, enabling the design and tuning of complex ...

Why modern electronics are so susceptible to thermomechanical fatigue. How multiphysics software tools can aid the design process, resulting in better product longevity. The airbags in your car… the ...
