Examining methods in data filtering, trend shift detection, and fault isolation, this book provides a variety of new research tools for use in the condition monitoring of jet engines. Each method is demonstrated through numerical simulations that can be easily done using worksheets such as Excel® or..

This handbook covers the peridynamic modeling of failure and damage. Peridynamics is a reformulation of continuum mechanics based on the integration of interactions rather than the spatial differentiation of displacements. The book extends the classical theory of continuum mechanics to allow unguide..

Interest in fuel cells and thermally activated (heat pipe heat exchangers) adsorption systems using natural refrigerants and/or alternatives to HFC-based refrigerants has increased significantly. During the last few decades, research aimed at the development of thermally powered adsorption cooling t..

Assessing the rapid evolution of information and communications technology (ICT) and the implications of this growth on the future of the field, this book emphasizes the need to integrate ICT and space technology into the general university curriculum. Aimed at students and professionals alike, it r..

The book aims to unify the study and applications of the IO, ISO, and IIO linear continuous-time time-invariant systems and highlight its importance for analysis and design of the systems operating in real conditions, i.e., in forced regimes under arbitrary initial conditions. The text investigates ..

This book shows the completion of the theory of the linear discrete-time time-invariant dynamical systems.The reader will also gain knowledge of discovered fundamental dynamical characteristic of the systems, the full transfer function matrix F(z), definitions and determinations, for three classes o..

Designing controllers and filters such that the resulting closed-loop systems are non-fragile or insensitive with respect to the perturbations in the controller or filter coefficients has become an important research topic in many fields of engineering and science. This book systematically presents ..

This book includes updated theoretical considerations which provide an insight into avenues of research most likely to result in further improvements in material performance. It details the latest techniques for the preparation of thermoelectric materials employed in energy harvesting, together with..
