Integrated dynamic modelling and multivariable control of HVAC components

The field of energy efficiency in buildings offers challenging opportunities from a control point of view. Heating, Ventilation and Air-Conditioning (HVAC) units in buildings must be accurately controlled so as to ensure the occupants' comfort and reduced energy consumption. While the existing HVAC models consist of only one or a few HVAC...

Estimation of load exceedances of an aircraft undercarriage with nonlinear properties excitated by random runway unevenness

In this report various methods to describe a landing gear with nonlinear properties and excitated by random runway unevenness during taxying have been investigated. The results of calculations have been compared to measured results from an analog computer simulation. The mean behaviour, standard deviations and power spectra, can be described...
