An Analog Implementation of Fixed-Wing Lateral/Directional Dynamics and Guidelines on Aircraft Simulations in the Engineering Laboratory.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Karayanakis, Nicholas M. – CoED, 1985
Describes a scheme for the mechanization of fixed-wing, lateral/directional dynamics as demonstrated on the EAI 580 analog/hybrid system. A review of the complete six degrees of freedom program is included, along with useful guidelines of aircraft simulation in the engineering laboratory. (Author/JN)

Analog Simulation on the Personal Digital Computer.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Hamann, Jerry C.; Jacquot, Raymond G. – CoED, 1985
Discusses development of an analog simulation program for microcomputers similar to those available on mainframe computers. The program is interactive, more user-friendly than batch mode mainframe simulators in use, and has user help, error detection, and medium resolution graphics for presentation of system responses.

An Applesoft Pen-Plotter Simulator.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Fields, Carl – CoED, 1984
A brief package of subroutines (which can be typed in 15 minutes) enables a standard Apple II Plus, IIc, or IIe microcomputer to simulate a pen-plotter. Techniques for using this package in introductory engineering graphics courses are described. A sample program (which draws an oblique line) containing the subroutines is included. (Author/JN)

Use of General Purpose Microcomputers in a Digital Control Course.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Petersen, James N.; Cavalieri, Ralph – CoED, 1984
Describes a relatively inexpensive system which allows students in a digital control course hands-on experience in the implementation of control algorithms on a variety of processes. The system uses two computers, one for real time simulation of the process and the other for implementation of the digital control algorithms. (JN)

The Simulation of Plane Kinematic Mechanisms on a Graphics Computer: A Student Project.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Jeswiet, J.; Mulvenna, C. A. – CoED, 1985
To evaluate the use of computer graphics for illustrating kinematics in an undergraduate course, a student project of mechanism simulation and analysis was carried out using a recently acquired workstation. This project is described. (JN)

Low Cost Computer Graphics Simulation of Basic Kinematic Linkages.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Smith, Donald A.; Jacquot, Raymond G. – CoED, 1984
Presents algorithms for the simulation and motion display of the three basic kinematic devices: (1) four bar linkages; (2) the slider crank; and (3) the inverted slider crank mechanisms. The algorithms were implemented on a Commodore-VIC 20 microcomputer system with 6500 bytes of available memory. (Author/JN)

A Graphical Simulation of Vapor-Liquid Equilibrium for Use as an Undergraduate Laboratory Experiment and to Demonstrate the Concept of Mathematical Modeling.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Whitman, David L.; Terry, Ronald E. – CoED, 1985
Demonstrating petroleum engineering concepts in undergraduate laboratories often requires expensive and time-consuming experiments. To eliminate these problems, a graphical simulation technique was developed for junior-level laboratories which illustrate vapor-liquid equilibrium and the use of mathematical modeling. A description of this…
