Distributed Model Predictive Control with Industrial Applications

1st Edition
December 1, 2099
Magdi S. Mahmoud + 1 more
English

Distributed Model Predictive Control with Industrial Applications provides an overview of the latest advances in Distributed Model Predictive Controllers with special emphasis on Data and Iterative Learning Control (ILC), as well as emerging industrial applications in the security of cyber-physical systems. This book explores the most recent and modern approaches to the control of distributed systems on the framework of model predictive control while focusing on exploiting and controlling physical processes by means of data generated within the system and their interaction with the environments. The book begins with a general introduction of the subject material and subsequent chapters focus on main topics, while highlighting most recent contributions in the subject and open areas and research questions left unanswered. Algorithms related to the subject are explained concisely with some typical examples from literature to reinforce understanding.

Hongjing Liang + 3 more
English

Intelligent Adaptive Cooperative Control for Complex Nonlinear Systems introduces new intelligent adaptive control strategies for solving problems that occur in external disturbances, faults, communication burden, input saturation, dead zone and unmeasured states. The book focuses on intelligent adaptive cooperative control for stochastic systems and semi-Markov jump systems and systematically introduces basic theory and methods. The valuable resource promotes the development of intelligent adaptive cooperative control for complex nonlinear systems, and is a useful resource for researchers, scholars, engineering experts and graduate students in the field of intelligent control, control and mathematics, industrial mathematics, mechatronics and engineering.

Medical Imaging

1st Edition

Adam W. Anderson + 3 more
English

Medical Imaging: Mathematical and Physical Principles gives an introduction to the mathematical and physical concepts and principles that underlie modern radiological imaging techniques. It explains the basic phenomena and mathematical concepts that are central to the use of physical methods for image formation in biomedicine. By focusing on the physical and mathematical principles, it provides knowledge that will continue to hold true even as technological and other advances change the nature and detail of future medical imaging applications.Written as a pedagogic textbook explaining the principles rather than a technical manual describing imaging methods, Medical Imaging: Mathematical and Physical Principles is very suitable as a foundational reference for senior undergraduates, graduate students and researchers with a background in either biomedical engineering, engineering, applied physics, computer science, and mathematics. It will be a well-thumbed resource throughout a researcher’s career.

Fatigue Damage in Metals

1st Edition
January 1, 2099
Anghel Cernescu
English

Fatigue Damage in Metals: Numerical Methods-Based Approaches provides readers with detailed and easy-to-implement simulation and modeling techniques for predicting, analyzing, and ultimately mitigating the effects of fatigue damage in metallic materials. The book is divided into three sections, the first of which covers various fatigue loading simulation techniques, the second looking at modeling methods for predicting and analyzing the cyclic behavior of metals, and the final section which discusses fatigue damage operators, criteria, and methods and also includes two chapters dedicated to case studies. It addresses variable amplitude loadings, yield surfaces-based models for cyclic plasticity simulation, fatigue crack imitation and propagation related to microstructure, probabilistic approaches, and more. New criteria and numerical techniques for analyzing the initiation and propagation of cracks are included, as are raw data, algorithms, and codes that can be put into immediate use.

Introduction to Continuum Mechanics

5th Edition

English

Lai et al’s Introduction to Continuum Mechanics is the leading textbook in continuum mechanics courses, having introduced senior-level undergraduate and graduate engineering students to the basic principles of continuum mechanics and their applications to real engineering problems for 50 years. The 5th edition has been re-focused on its long-time core market: one-semester graduate and senior undergraduate courses in continuum mechanics. It has been separated into two parts – elementary (linear) mechanics content aimed at one-semester coverage, and more advanced (non-linear mechanics) coverage. In addition the elasticity chapter has been replaced with a new chapter introducing various modes of material behavior. Instructors can rest assured that the new edition nevertheless uses the same approach as that in the earlier editions - that one can cover advanced topics in an elementary way that go from simple to complex, using a wealth of illustrative examples and problems. It is, and will remain, one of the most accessible textbooks on this challenging engineering subject.

Artificial Human Organs

Jamshid Karimov
English

Artificial Human Organs: Science and Innovation of the Bionic Body explores all new developments in the evolving field of organ replacement and bionic technology, where new organs, body parts, and tissue replacement solutions are currently used or might be beneficial in the future. The clinical need for artificial organ replacements and bionic body parts are explained and, more broadly, the need for improvement, potential engineering solutions, clinical indications, perspectives, and organ/body-part technology research and development. This book provides up-to-date information on organ replacement techniques and bionic technology among different organs and systems and discusses the limitations of the current methodologies and techniques.Incorporating perspectives from leading experts in the field, this comprehensive book is aimed at biomedical engineering students, medical students, physicians, engineering and biomedical researchers early in their careers, as well as those with an interest in artificial organ, bionic body and human bionics.

Cognitive Radio Networks

1st Edition
May 1, 2030
Kiran Challapali
English

802.22 is a proposed new IEEE wireless networking standard that addresses the two biggest issues in wireless broadband: 1) the need for more frequency space to accommodate more users, and 2) greater range and coverage area. These proposed WRANs will make use of vacant local television channels to deliver content in area quickly and even during high levels of traffic. As 802.22 users change locations, their PCs (or other devices) will determine which channels are vacant in the new location and seek wireless broadband on those frequencies. 802.22 is international in its design and will seek broadband access on all North American, European, and Asian TV channels. This book, written by two researchers instrumental in developing the 802.22 standard, describes the basic concepts of 802.22, hardware requirements, and how 802.22 uses cognitive radio techniques to find and connect to broadband wireless nodes operating on TV channel frequencies.
