The International Fire Code (IFC) requires periodic testing of life safety dampers and smoke control systems. There are some state or local variations, but the requirements are essentially the same in ...

Industrial simulation and emulation are powerful but still underemployed techniques for designing, developing, and testing better automation solutions and machines. When used as a central part of a ...

A testing machine can be used to push, pull or twist a sample of the material in order to determine the mechanical properties of a material. Many materials are strain rate sensitive which means that ...

How the challenges of electric-motor control design can be overcome using digital twins in all design and test phases. How automated testing within a continuous and integrated toolchain is able to ...

One of my more aspirational career goals has been to increase the efficiency of validation testing without lowering the quality. Testing of automated systems is essential to ensure quality in both the ...

In the modelic control paradigm, the first step is to establish a dynamic model through system identification. This model offers a continuous but inaccurate description of state transition information ...

The U.S. Department of Energy's Idaho National Engineering and Environmental Laboratory (INEEL) and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) are opening the United States Computer Emergency Readiness ...

Developing test systems for R&D through production requires a combination of preparedness and ongoing evaluation. In order to carry out these tasks, the required systems must be capable of performing ...
