Internet of Things (IoT) – An Engineering Approach: From Principles to Practice provides clear engineering practice guides on developing intelligent sensor/actuator nodes and then forming an IoT system, without the confusion of network/communication protocols.IoT will be widely used in smart homes, smart cities, digital health, and digital manufacturers. However, the development of an IoT system can be complicated since it combines technologies in networking and security, wireless communication, broadband cellular networks, sensors and actuators, data acquisition and real-time embedded systems, edge computing with artificial intelligence, and low-power electronics technologies.All engineering practice topics come with examples mostly from the first-hand materials of the author’s research projects, e.g. digital switching, powering indoor IoT sensor nodes by photovoltaic energy harvesting, laser sensors for greenhouse plant, low-power electronics for implantable neural recording for blowfly, zero-power passive sensing, MEMs capacitor for ultrasound imaging/digital speaker, contactless electrode for physiological measurements, EoG based gaze tracking for augmented reality. Therefore, this book can be used for teaching or used as a reference for relevant research.

The integration of ground-breaking technologies, such as next-generation batteries and AI-powered systems, promises to reshape the way we commute, transport goods, and navigate our cities. Autonomous Electric Vehicles: Nonlinear Control, Traction, and Propulsion offers sought-after, specialized know-how on robotized electric vehicles (ground, surface, underwater, aerial). The book builds on theoretical fundamentals to then comprehensively cover the very latest research advances in nonlinear control, estimation, and fault diagnosis for autonomous navigation and electric traction systems. Part I investigates nonlinear optimal control and estimation of a specific class of vehicle per chapter, while part II control and dynamic modeling of a specific type of electric motor per chapter. Furthermore, the methodological analysis conducted is not constrained by the shortcomings of global linearization-based control algorithms, is computationally easy to implement, and is also corroborated by global robustness and stability proofs. Case studies and other practical application discussions exemplify these methods’ potential prospects if adopted at commercial scale. Readers from a wide range of related disciplines will benefit from the structured, modular approach of the volume, which was written by a group of experts with backgrounds both in academia and industry, whose aim is also to contribute transformative solutions to accelerate the global low-carbon power transition as well as smart energy management systems for the continuing shift to renewables.

Weathering: The Testing Manual provides guidelines and procedures for conducting weathering tests on various materials and products to simulate the effects of exposure. The methods of weathering discussed are based on requirements of ASTM, ISO, BS, Ford, GM, IEC, IEEE, MIL, PV, SAE, UL, and VDA standards. The book details the methods used, their differences, parameter settings, and hardware that is commercially available for performing the tests. Also included is information on sample preparation, evaluation methods, frequency of data collection, data analysis and interpretation, and reporting. Results of testing are compared with requirements of standards for different products. The book is an excellent companion piece to the Handbook of Weathering, 7th Edition, as well as The Encyclopedia of Polymer Degradation, the former serving as a monographic source of knowledge on various aspects of weathering, the latter outlining the limitations and challenges of presently conducted weathering studies to formulate needs and directions for transition from present comparative evaluation to knowledge-based utilization of existing resources. These three books together are powerful tools for chemists, chemical engineers, materials scientists, environmental chemists, legislators, teachers, and students.

Prestressed Members with External Fiber-Reinforced Polymer (FRP) Tendons

Prestressed Members with External Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) Tendons: Design, Assessment and Modelling provides an overview of using FRPs, including how to predict the short-term and long-term behavior of externally prestressed concrete or steel-concrete composite members, their second-order effects, and how to examine the effectiveness of using FRP tendons instead of steel tendons for external prestressing. As external prestressing is considered to be one of the most powerful techniques in strengthening of existing structures, this book provides a comprehensive resource on the topics covered.The conventional use of prestressing steel is, however, naturally prone to corrosion. The best strategy to solve completely the corrosion problem is the use of nonmetal materials instead of prestressing steel. Fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) composites are ideal materials used for external tendons for their excellent corrosion resistance, high strength and low weight.
