Fractional-order Systems and Controls details the use of fractional calculus in the description and modeling of systems, and in a range of control design and practical applications.

For experiments, dimensional analysis enables the design, checks the validity, orders the procedure and synthesises the data.

Micromechanisms of Fracture and Fatigue forms the culmination of 20 years of research in the field of fatigue and fracture.

Small Wind Turbines provides a thorough grounding in analysing, designing, building, and installing a small wind turbine.

Geometry of Single-Point Turning Tools and Drills outlines clear objectives of cutting tool geometry selection and optimization, using multiple examples to provide a thorough explanation.

Nonlinear Control of Vehicles and Robots develops a unified approach to the dynamic modeling of robots in terrestrial, aerial and marine environments.

Diamond has a unique combination of properties, such as the highest hardness and thermal conductivity among any known material, high electrical resistivity, a large optical band gap and a high transmission, good resistance to chemical erosion, low adhesion and friction, and extremely low thermal expansion coefficient.

Hard machining is a relatively recent technology that can be defined as a machining operation, using tools with geometrically defined cutting edges, of a work piece that has hardness values typically in the 45-70HRc range.

Programming Finite Elements in Java(TM) teaches the reader how to programme the algorithms of the finite element method (FEM) in Java(TM).

"e;Surface Integrity in Machining"e; describes the fundamentals and recent advances in the study of surface integrity in machining processes.

Lamb waves are guided waves that propagate in thin plate or shell structures.

Most ocean vessels are underactuated but control of their motion in the real ocean environment is essential.

In a world suffering from an ageing population and declining birth rate, service robotics and mechatronics have an increasingly vital role to play in maintaining a safe and sustainable environment for everyone.

"e;Design Rules for Actuators in Active Mechanical Systems"e; deals with the formulation of model-based design rules to be used in the conception of optimized mechatronic and adaptronic systems.

Machine tools are the main production factor for many industrial applications in many important sectors.

Microbiologically-influenced corrosion (MIC) is one of the greatest mysteries of corrosion science and engineering, due to the complexities resulting from the involvement of living things such as bacteria.

Engineering solutions and financial decisions are intimately tied together.

Solid Particle Erosion: Occurrence, Prediction and Control collects together the work of more than 130 industrially-supported research projects conducted over 50 years on erosion at the Tallinn Technical University, Estonia (now the Tallinn University of Technology), much of which is previously unpublished in English.

Machining is one of the most important manufacturing processes.
