University of Central Florida College of Engineering Thesis; Real-time digital simulation is a powerful means for engineers and scientists in government, industry, and academia to perform research and training as well as serving as a basis for many commercial applications. Due to the special constraints imposed by digitally simulating continuous systems in real time, however, many of these systems either require costly high-speed components or are unable to provide suitable performance...

Due to the special constraints imposed by digitally simulating continuous systems in real time, however, many of these systems either require costly high-speed components or are unable to provide suitable performance characteristics using affordable computers. This dissertation describes a new technique for the synthesis of numerical integrators specifically designed for the real-time digital simulation of continuous systems. This methodology is based upon the fact that the state derivatives in a simulation model typically have a significantly limited bandwidth. This information is exploited to improve the efficiency of numerical integrators by selecting the coefficients of a general-form integrator such that it approximates an ideal integrator over the limited frequency spectrum of the state derivative.

Abstract / Description

University of Central Florida College of Engineering Thesis; Of the vast number of algorithms used in modern computer image generation, most rely upon data bases comprised of polygons. This becomes a severe impediment when curved objects must be modeled and displayed with an acceptable level of speed and accuracy. A technique is needed to provide a means of modeling curved surfaces, storing them in a data base, and displaying them using existing algorithms. Tessellation is one method of...
