Qualitative Functional and Dysfunctional Analysis and Physical Modeling of an Eco-Designed Mechatronics System Using Coloured Petri-nets: Application on a Regenerative Braking System

Developing robust and high-efficient mechatronics products at a lower cost, requires special control during design the process while verifying that the objectives are met and that the constraints are respected. A study of a mechatronics system performances is generally preceded by functional, dysfunctional and physical modeling. This paper presents a mechatronic system functional analysis using structured analysis and design technique (SADT), dysfunctional analysis based on failure modes and effects analysis methodology (FMEA)/Software Errors and Effects Analysis (SEEL) and physical modeling using coloured Petri nets (CPN).
