Description
During the last decades, computer assisted modeling and simulation of mechanical systems gained in importance. Computers help to reduce the design and development time for new products and to substitute low cost "virtual" tests for expensive experiments on real life prototypes. However, the results are often unreliable due to either errors that are generated by the underlying arithmetic or inaccuracy induced by the idealization of the model.
In this thesis, validated methods were used to solve such problems. They provided a guarantee that the results were correct and had the ability to allow for uncertainty in parameters. The applicability of various validated concepts to modeling and simulation of mechanical systems was explored in this thesis with a special focus on verifying dynamics. This resulted in the appearance of a new library SMARTMOBILE (Simulation and Modeling of dynAmics in MOBILE: Reliable and Template-based).
