  • Fundamentals of Enriched Finite Element Methods

    • 1st Edition
    • Alejandro M. Aragón + 1 more
    • English
    Fundamentals of Enriched Finite Element Methods provides an overview of the different enriched finite element methods, detailed instruction on their use, and their real-world applications, recommending in what situations they are best implemented. It starts with a concise background on the theory required to understand the underlying principles behind the methods before outlining detailed instruction on implementation of the techniques in standard displacement-based finite element codes. The strengths and weaknesses of each are discussed, as are computer implementation details, including a standalone generalized finite element package, written in Python. The applications of the methods to a range of scenarios, including multiphase, fracture, multiscale, and immersed boundary (fictitious domain) problems are covered, and readers can find ready-to-use code, simulation videos, and other useful resources on the companion website of the book.

  • All-Dielectric Nanophotonics

    • 1st Edition
    • Alexander S. Shalin + 2 more
    • English
    All-Dielectric Nanophotonics aims to review the underlying principles, advances and future directions of research in the field. The book reviews progress in all-dielectric metasurfaces and nanoantennas, new types of excitations, such as magnetic and toroidal modes and associated anapole states. Ultrahigh-Q resonant modes such as bound states in the continuum are covered and the promise of replacing conventional bulky optical elements with nanometer-scale structures with enhanced functionality is discussed. This book is suitable for new entrants to the field as an overview of this research area. Experienced researchers and professionals in the field may also find this book suitable as a reference.

  • Nanoscale Memristor Device and Circuits Design

    • 1st Edition
    • Balwinder Raj + 3 more
    • English
    Nanoscale Memristor Device and Circuits Design provides theoretical frameworks, including (i) the background of memristors, (ii) physics of memristor and their modeling, (iii) menristive device applications, and (iv) circuit design for security and authentication. The book focuses on a broad aspect of realization of these applications as low cost and reliable devices. This is an important reference that will help materials scientists and engineers understand the production and applications of nanoscale memrister devices. A memristor is a two-terminal memory nanoscale device that stores information in terms of high/low resistance. It can retain information even when the power source is removed, i.e., "non-volatile." In contrast to MOS Transistors (MOST), which are the building blocks of all modern mobile and computing devices, memristors are relatively immune to radiation, as well as parasitic effects, such as capacitance, and can be much more reliable. This is extremely attractive for critical safety applications, such as nuclear and aerospace, where radiation can cause failure in MOST-based systems.

    Managing Risk and Resilience for Sustainable Development
    • 2nd Edition
    • Per Becker
    • English
    Sustainability is increasingly important across functional sectors and scientific disciplines. Policy-makers, practitioners, and academics continue to wrestle with the complexity of risk, resilience, and sustainability, but because of the necessary transdisciplinary focus, it is difficult to find authoritative content in a single source. Sustainability Science: Managing Risk and Resilience for Sustainable Development, Second Edition, contributes to filling that gap and is completely revised with several new chapters. It asserts that all efforts for the sustainability of humankind are undermined by the four fundamental challenges of complexity, uncertainty, ambiguity, and dynamic change. While there are no silver bullets, this book contends that we need systems approaches, risk approaches, participatory approaches, and resilience approaches to address each of them and endeavours to provide such. With that in mind, this book describes the state of the world (Part I), proposes a way to approach the world (Part II), and suggests how to set out to change the world (Part III).
