Civilians On The Battlefield: Creating A Realistic Training Aid For The United States Military, Aaron D. Beam
Civilians On The Battlefield: Creating A Realistic Training Aid For The United States Military, Aaron D. Beam
Computational Modeling & Simulation Engineering Theses & Dissertations
The United States and our allies and partners have adopted a humane approach to warfare based on established principle of the laws of war centered on the principles of Military Necessity, Humanity, Proportionality, Distinction, and Honor. These principles dictate that US Military forces conduct warfare with a careful consideration of our impact on civilian populations with a special duty to protect and limit harm as much as possible given the accomplishment of a mission. Likewise, the US Military has developed a sound counterinsurgency and unified action military model that recognizes that warfare is not fought simply with kinetic force, but …

Design Of A Virtual Laboratory For Automation Control, Zelin Zhu
Computational Modeling & Simulation Engineering Theses & Dissertations
In the past, only students who studied on campus were able to access laboratory equipment in traditional lab courses; distance learning students, enrolled in online courses, were at a disadvantage for they could learn basic lab experiment principles but could never experience hands-on learning. Modeling and simulation can be a powerful tool for generating virtual laboratories for distance learning students. This thesis describes the design and development of a virtual laboratory for automation control using mechanical, electrical, and pneumatic components for an automation and control course at Old Dominion University. This virtual laboratory application was implemented for two platforms — …
