Introduction to Fuzzy Sets Fuzzy Logic and Fuzzy Control Systems

In the early 1970s fuzzy systems and fuzzy control theories added a new dimension to control systems engineering. From its beginnings as mostly heuristic and somewhat ad hoc more recent and rigorous approaches to fuzzy control theory have helped make it an integral part of modern control theory and produced many exciting results. Yesterday's art of building a working fuzzy controller has turned into today's science of systematic design. To keep pace with and further advance the rapidly developing field of applied control technologies engineers both present and future need some systematic training in the analytic theory and rigorous design of fuzzy control systems. Introduction to Fuzzy Sets Fuzzy Logic and Fuzzy Control Systems provides that training by introducing a rigorous and complete fundamental theory of fuzzy sets and fuzzy logic and then building a practical theory for automatic control of uncertain and ill-modeled systems encountered in many engineering applications. The authors proceed through basic fuzzy mathematics and fuzzy systems theory and conclude with an exploration of some industrial application examples. Almost entirely self-contained Introduction to Fuzzy Sets Fuzzy Logic and Fuzzy Control Systems establishes a strong foundation for designing and analyzing fuzzy control systems under uncertain and irregular conditions. Mastering its contents gives students a clear understanding of fuzzy control systems theory that prepares them for deeper and broader studies and for many practical challenges faced in modern industry.

Magnetics Dielectrics and Wave Propagation with MATLAB Codes

Future microwave wireless communication systems computer chip designs and sensor systems will require miniature fabrication processes in the order of nanometers or less as well as the fusion of various material technologies to produce composites consisting of many different materials. This requires distinctly multidisciplinary collaborations implying that specialized approaches will not be able to address future world markets in communication computer and electronic miniaturized products. Anticipating that many students lack specialized simultaneous training in magnetism and magnetics as well as in other material technologies Magnetics Dielectrics and Wave Propagation with MATLABR Codes avoids application-specific descriptions opting for a general point of view of materials per se. Specifically this book develops a general theory to show how a magnetic system of spins is coupled to acoustic motions magnetoelectric systems and superconductors. Phenomenological approaches are connected to atomic-scale formulations that reduce complex calculations to essential forms and address basic interactions at any scale of dimensionalities. With simple and clear coverage of everything from first principles to calculation tools the book revisits fundamentals that govern magnetic acoustic superconducting and magnetoelectric motions at the atomic and macroscopic scales including superlattices. Constitutive equations in Maxwell’s equations are introduced via general free energy expressions which include magnetic parameters as well as acoustic magnetoelectric semiconductor and superconducting parameters derived from first principles. More importantly this book facilitates the derivation of these parameters as the dimensionality of materials is reduced toward the microscopic scale thus introducing new concepts. The deposition of ferrite films at the atomic scale complements the approach toward the understanding of the physics of miniaturized composites. Thus a systematic formalism of deriving the permeability or the magnetoelectric coupling tensors from first principles rather than from an ad hoc approach bridges the gap between microscopic and macroscopic principles as applied to wave propagation and other applications. | Magnetics Dielectrics and Wave Propagation with MATLAB® Codes

Environmental Fluid Mechanics - Méchanique des Fluides Environnementaux

Dams are planned constructed and operated to meet human needs - generation of energy irrigated agricultural production flood control public and industrial supply supply of drinking water and various other purposes. Dams impound water in reservoirs during times of high flood that can be used for human requirements during times with inadequate natural flows. Positive impacts of dams are improved flood control improved welfare resulting from new access to irrigation and drinking water. Without dams there would be insufficient food to feed the world’s people and energy would be generated by burning fossil fuels that produce greenhouse gases. Despite this progress there remain significant concerns about the environmental impacts of dams. These environmental impacts are complex and far reaching remote of the dam and may occur in time with the dam construction or later and may lead to a loss of biodiversity and of productivity of natural resources. This bulletin compiles improvements in knowledge and state of the art technology to avoid or mitigate environmental impacts of dams on the natural ecosystem as well as to the people that depend upon them for their livelihood and also addresses the mitigation of environmental impacts on dams and reservoirs. Les barrages sont planifiés construits et exploités de manière à répondre aux besoins humains. Les barrages retiennent l'eau dans les réservoirs pendant les périodes de forte crue une eau qui peut être utilisée pour les besoins de l'homme pendant les périodes d’insuffisance des débits naturels. Les impacts positifs de barrages sont le contrôle des crues et l'amélioration du bien-être résultant du nouvel accès à l'irrigation et à l'eau potable. Sans barrages la production alimentaire serait insuffisante pour nourrir la population du globe et l'énergie serait générée en brûlant des combustibles fossiles qui produisent des gaz à effet de serre. Malgré ces progrès d'importantes préoccupations subsistent quant aux retombées des barrages sur l’environnement. Les impacts environnementaux sont complexes et d’une grande portée. Ils peuvent se produire au moment de la construction du barrage ou plus tard et peuvent entraîner une perte de la biodiversité et de la productivité des ressources naturelles. Le présent bulletin compile l'amélioration des connaissances et des technologies les plus récentes pour éviter ou atténuer les impacts environnementaux des barrages sur l'écosystème naturel ainsi que pour les personnes qui en dépendent pour leur subsistance. Il aborde également l'atténuation des impacts environnementaux sur les barrages et les réservoirs. | Environmental Fluid Mechanics - Méchanique des Fluides Environnementaux
