Recent rapid globalisation of manufacturing industries leads to a drive and thirst for rapid advancements in technological development and expertise in the fields of advanced design and manufacturing, especially at their interfaces.
Networked control systems (NCS) confer advantages of cost reduction, system diagnosis and flexibility, minimizing wiring and simplifying the addition and replacement of individual elements; efficient data sharing makes taking globally intelligent control decisions easier with NCS.
"e;Designing Inclusive Futures"e; reflects the need to explore, in a coherent way, the issues and practicalities that lie behind design that is intended to extend our active future lives.
Identification of Continuous-time Models from Sampled Data presents an up-to-date view of this active area of research, describing recent methods and software tools and offering new results in areas such as: time and frequency domain optimal statistical approaches to identification; parametric identification for linear, nonlinear and stochastic systems; identification using instrumental variable, subspace and data compression methods; closed-loop and robust identification; and continuous-time modeling from non-uniformly sampled data and for systems with delay.
Collected here are 112 papers concerned with all manner of new directions in manufacturing systems given at the 41st CIRP Conference on Manufacturing Systems.
This book presents the proceedings of the ASEAN-Australian Engineering Congress (AAEC2022), held as a virtual event, 13-15 July 2022 with the theme "e;Engineering Solutions in the Age of Digital Disruption"e;.
"e;Modelling and Analysis of Hybrid Supervisory Systems"e; introduces a modelling formalism that merges Petri nets, differential equation systems and object-oriented methods; a formalism that is adequate for modelling complex and large-scale systems.
The application of machine vision to autonomous vehicles is an increasingly important area of research with exciting applications in industry, defense, and transportation likely in coming decades.
The purpose of this book is to present a self-contained description of the fun- damentals of the theory of nonlinear control systems, with special emphasis on the differential geometric approach.
"e;Advanced Control of Industrial Processes"e; presents the concepts and algorithms of advanced industrial process control and on-line optimisation within the framework of a multilayer structure.
Folding networks, a generalisation of recurrent neural networks to tree structured inputs, are investigated as a mechanism to learn regularities on classical symbolic data, for example.
One of the main requirements of power quality management is the guarantee of an adequate sinusoidal voltage waveform profile at each node of a network.
The presence of considerable time delays in many industrial processes is well recognized and achievable performances of conventional unity feedback control systems are degraded if a process has a relatively large time delay compared to its time constants.
Dissipative Systems Analysis and Control (second edition) presents a fully revised and expanded treatment of dissipative systems theory, constituting a self-contained, advanced introduction for graduate students, researchers and practising engineers.
The ability of fuzzy systems to provide shades of gray between "e;on or off"e; and "e;yes or no"e; is ideally suited to many of today’s complex industrial control systems.
Control Design Techniques in Power Electronics Devices deals specifically with control theories relevant to the design of switched power electronics, for the most part, DC-DC converters and supplies, rectifiers of different kinds and inverters with varying topologies.
Discrete-event dynamic systems (DEDs) permeate our world, being of great importance in modern manufacturing processes, transportation and various forms of computer and communications networking.
The applications of image-based measurement are many and various: image-guided surgery, mobile-robot navigation, component alignment and photogrammetry, among others.
