Ground Vehicle Dynamics is devoted to the mathematical modelling and dynamical analysis of ground vehicle systems composed of the vehicle body, the guidance and suspension devices and the corresponding guideway.
One major area in the theory of statistical signal processing is reduced-rank - timation where optimal linear estimators are approximated in low-dimensional subspaces, e.
The aesthetically pleasing molecular architectures of fullerenes and nanotubes are appealing not only because of their beauty but also because they are responsible for the many unprecedented chemical and physical properties of this compound class.
Photomechanics describes the use of photonics techniques for the nondestructive measurement of variations in certain important physical quantities such as displacements, strains, densities, etc.
Many applications of acoustic signal processing, such as teleconferencing and surveillance systems, require an estimate of several parameters present in the observed acoustic wavefield.
Though PID control has a long history as much as its life force since Ziegler and Nichols published the empirical tuning rules in 1942, surprisingly, it has never been changed in the structure itself.
The purpose of this book is twofold: To survey control system design methods based on the system inversion technique and to collect into one place the many recent results in the field.
Especially designed as self-sustaining oscillating systems, resonant robotic systems use the natural modes of oscillation of electromechanical modules for their movements.

Modern warehouse and distribution systems constitute highly complex nodes within the value-added supply chain and have to meet a variety of requirements with regard to time, costs and quality.
This book is for people who are interested in learning and exploring electronic interfacing as well as C++ programming in a practicable and enjoyable way.
With increasing demands for efficiency and product quality and progressing integration of automatic control systems in high-cost mechatronic and safety-critical processes, the field of supervision (or monitoring), fault detection and fault diagnosis plays an important role.
Nanoscale science and computing is becoming a major research area as today's scientists try to understand the processes of natural and biomolecular computing.
This work covers the design of CMOS fully integrated low power low phase noise voltage controlled oscillators for telecommunication or datacommuni- tion systems.
The main aim of this book is to present a unified, systematic description of basic and advanced problems, methods and algorithms of the modern c- trol theory considered as a foundation for the design of computer control and management systems.
Leonardo's Lost Robots reinterprets Leonardo da Vinci's mechanical design work, revealing a new level of sophistication not recognized by art historians or engineers.
Ambient intelligence (AI) refers to a developing technology that will increasingly make our everyday environment sensitive and responsive to our presence.
Just like the periodical crystalline potential in solid-state crystals determines their properties for the conduction of electrons, the periodical structuring of photonic crystals leads to envisioning the possibility of achieving a control of the photon flux in dielectric and metallic materials.
This book bridges the gap between the conventional technology based on microstrip transmission line and futuristic technology based on Spoof Surface Plasmon Polariton-based transmission line.
