Over the years, mechatronic systems have witnessed an increase in complexity. To address this issue, a model-based approach has been utilized to produce coherent system specification. In model-based engineering, a system is depicted graphically and textually at various levels of granularity and complexity. For this purpose, Systems Modeling Language (SysML) is designed to support development stages in systems, including specification, analysis, design, and validation, and to generate specifications in a single language for use by heterogeneous development teams. Nevertheless, an underlying tool is lacking that would express the totality of a system’s processes and concepts, including mechanical, electrical, and informational aspects. SysML introduces a variety of diagrams and tools that are heterogeneous in notation and terms, e.g., use cases, blocks, activities, components, parameters, sequence, and so forth. This paper proposes a diagrammatic methodology to specify a unified conceptual map for mechatronic systems that can play the role of blueprint for a whole system at different stages of development. The paper focuses on using the proposed methodology as a specification tool, offering a new model that captures the dynamic behaviors of the system. The claim is that this proposed model for specification provides a nontechnical map of the system without a multiplicity of representations as in SysML. To demonstrate the viability of the model, it is applied to a case study of an airport baggage handling system.

This paper presents the design strategy for the Computer-Aided Design (CAD) of compact helical gear sets. Using optimization techniques, fundamental gear design parameters such as the number of teeth on the pinion, helix angle, and diametral pitch (or module) are selected subject to constraints on bending stresses, contact stresses, and involute interference limits for both standard and nonstandard gearing. The CAD procedure is illustrated with the help of a design example.

ABSTRACTA mission to rendezvous with the rings of Saturn is studied with regard to science rationale and instrumentation and engineering feasibility and design. Future detailedin situexploration of the rings of Saturn will require spacecraft systems with enormous propulsive capability. NASA is currently studying the critical technologies for just such a system, called Nuclear Electric Propulsion (NEP). Electric propulsion is the only technology which can effectively provide the required total impulse for this demanding mission. Furthermore, the power source must be nuclear because the solar energy reaching Saturn is only 1% of that at the Earth. An important aspect of this mission is the ability of the low thrust propulsion system to continuously boost the spacecraft above the ring plane as it spirals in toward Saturn, thus enabling scientific measurements of ring particles from only a few kilometers.
