Error estimates for the web-Spline method
Authors: Klaus Höllig, Ulrich Reif, Joachim Wipper
Venue: Mathematical Methods for Curves and Surfaces: Oslo 2000 (2001)

The web-spline method is a new finite element technique for solving elliptic boundary value problems on bounded domains in IRm. It is based on weighted extended B-splines and provides high accuracy approximations with relatively low dimensional subspaces. Further, it does not require any non-trivial grid generation process. In this paper, we review the method, prove stability, and present a Jackson-type error estimate showing that web-splines have optimal approximation order.

Application of feature technology to modeling and dimensioning the intermediate geometry of automotive powertrain components
Authors: Madhumati Ramesh, Debasish Dutta, Nagesh Belludi, Derek Yip-Hoi, Paul Wascher
Venue: Proceedings of the seventh ACM symposium on Solid modeling and applications (2002)

Intermediate parts occur in between process steps during machining. In case of parts produced in high volumes, a detail documentation of intermediate geometry is required for the knowledge of operators, for gauging, as a specification for tooling design and for offline CMM programming & simulation. Currently, manually created approximate 2D drawings and/or manually created 3D models are used for representing the intermediate geometry. The commercial process planning systems provide NC code simulation technique for automatically modeling the intermediate parts. In this paper, we outline the challenges posed by this problem in case of large components in automotive powertrain. We present a system that uses feature technology to address them. The solid models of intermediate parts are generated by sequentially subtracting volumetric machining features from the cast part model and they are dimensioned using reference geometry. This system automatically generates models of intermediate parts independent of the design history and the NC code. It also makes use of the process plan data generated prior to the availability of final and cast part model.

Learning, Information, and Performance Support (LIPS): A Multimedia-Aided Approach
Authors: Elias R. Callahan, J. P. Shim, Gerald W. Oakley
Venue: Interfaces (2000)

We developed a framework that allows individuals to use personal computers to learn the concepts, knowledge, and information required for satisfactory job performance and get the feedback and performance support they need to accomplish specific tasks. This concept, called learning, information, and performance support (LIPS), has been implemented by over 400 government agencies and over 100 private sector companies in 12 countries. LIPS incorporates learning, information, and performance support into an integrated end-user interface. It accommodates all levels of users from novice to expert. LIPS provides end-users with desktop access to the tools they need to perform their jobs. The integration of modules and their technical relationships appears seamless. Many of these modules are multimedia based, incorporating new educational philosophies and technologies. LIPS combines learning, information, and performance support into an integrated source of knowledge that employees and managers can use to perform their jobs with improved quality, higher productivity, and lowered cost. The actual system demonstrated cost savings of 45 to 65 percent and marked improvement in retention times.

One for all and all for one?: case studies of using prototypes in commercial projects
Authors: Nick Bryan-Kinns, Fraser Hamilton
Venue: Proceedings of the second Nordic conference on Human-computer interaction (2002)

The HCI discipline has long promoted the communication and collaboration between usability experts and intended users of systems. We present case studies that highlight the importance of representations in communication between not just usability experts and end users, but also graphic designers, clients, and technologists. Our case studies are used to illustrate the need to select appropriate representations for the target audience and the stage of system development. We argue that relationships can be identified between representation fidelity, target audience, and stage of development. These relationships can then be used to inform the appropriate selection of representations.
A Modified Fractional Step Method for the Accurate Approximation of Detonation Waves
Authors: Christiane Helzel, Randall J. Leveque, Gerald Warnecke
Venue: SIAM Journal on Scientific Computing (2000)

The numerical approximation of combustion processes may lead to numerical difficulties, which are caused by different time scales of the transport part and the reactive part of the model equations. Here we consider a modified fractional step method that overcomes this difficulty on standard test problems and allows the use of a mesh width and time step determined by the nonreactive part, without precisely resolving the very small reaction zone. High-resolution Godunov methods are employed and the structure of the Riemann solution is used to determine where burning should occur in each time step. The modification is implemented in the software package CLAWPACK. Numerical results for 1D and 2D detonation waves are shown, including a detonation wave diffracting around a corner.

Efficient Constrained Model Predictive Control with Asymptotic Optimality
Authors: Mark Cannon, Basil Kouvaritakis
Venue: SIAM Journal on Control and Optimization (2002)

A computationally inexpensive model predictive control strategy for constrained linear systems is presented. We describe an efficiently computed suboptimal control law which is exponentially stabilizing in the presence of constraints and which converges asymptotically to the conditions for constrained optimality with respect to the receding horizon optimization. The free parameters in input predictions are adapted online on the basis of the gradient of the predicted performance index and the boundary of the admissible set for an autonomous prediction system. A differential description of the admissible set boundary enables efficient detection of active constraints. The approach is illustrated via simulation examples.

A FETI Domain Decomposition Method for Edge Element Approximations in Two Dimensions with Discontinuous Coefficients
Authors: Andrea Toselli, Axel Klawonn
Venue: SIAM Journal on Numerical Analysis (2001)

A class of finite element tearing and interconnecting (FETI) methods for the edge element approximation of vector field problems in two dimensions is introduced and analyzed. First, an abstract framework is presented for the analysis of a class of FETI methods where a natural coarse problem, associated with the substructures, is lacking. Then, a family of FETI methods for edge element approximations is proposed. It is shown that the condition number of the corresponding method is independent of the number of substructures and grows only polylogarithmically with the number of unknowns associated with individual substructures. The estimate is also independent of the jumps of both of the coefficients of the original problem. Numerical results validating our theoretical bounds are given. The method and its analysis can be easily generalized to Raviart--Thomas element approximations in two and three dimensions.
