This book is about the pattern formation and the evolution of crack propagation in engineering materials and structures, bridging mathematical analyses of cracks based on singular integral equations, to computational simulation of engineering design. The first two parts of this book focus on elasticity and fracture and provide the basis for discussions on fracture morphology and its numerical simulation, which may lead to a simulation-based fracture control in engineering structures. Several design concepts are discussed for the prevention of fatigue and fracture in engineering structures,...

This book deals with one of the most novel advances in mathematical modeling for applied scientific technology, including computer graphics, public-key encryption, data visualization, statistical data analysis, symbolic calculation, encryption, error correcting codes, and risk management. It also shows that mathematics can be used to solve problems from nature, e.g., slime mold algorithms.
One of the unique features of this book is that it shows readers how to use pure and applied mathematics, especially those mathematical theory/techniques developed in the twentieth century, and...

What is this sound? What does that sound indicate? These are two questions frequently heard in daily conversation. Sound results from the vibrations of elastic media and in daily life provides informative signals of events happening in the surrounding environment. In interpreting auditory sensations, the human ear seems particularly good at extracting the signal signatures from sound waves. Although exploring auditory processing schemes may be beyond our capabilities, source signature analysis is a very attractive area in which signal-processing schemes can be developed using mathematical...

This book deals with methods of measurement and evaluation of environmental noise based on an auditory neural and brain oriented model. Several examples of measuring environmental noise arising from outdoor noise, such as aircraft, traffic, and train; indoor noise, such as floor impact, refrigerators, and toilets, are demonstrated. Based on these noise measurements and evaluations, methods of noise prevention in a room and a car as well as outdoors are discussed in this book. Also, for soundscape design, a basic database of natural sounds is collected. This book provides an excellent resource...

This book focuses on the general rotordynamics of turbomachinery, including bearing dynamics, rotating shaft vibration, fluid force induced vibrations from seals, active vibration control, and rotating structure dynamics due to blades. this book is targeted mainly at students and academic researchers who are more interested in the theoretical and fundamental approaches. Mode synthesis modeling is then introduced for system reduction, which aids the understanding in a simplified manner of how complicated rotors behave. Rotor balancing techniques are offered for rigid and flexible rotors...

This book focuses on the finite element method in fluid flows. It is targeted at researchers, from those just starting out up to practitioners with some experience. Part I is devoted to the beginners who are already familiar with elementary calculus. Precise concepts of the finite element method remitted in the field of analysis of fluid flow are stated, starting with spring structures which are most suitable to show the concepts of superposition/assembling. Pipeline system and potential flow sections show the linear problem. Advection diffusion section presents time dependent problem. The...

This book is the first to report on theoretical breakthroughs on control of complex dynamical systems developed by collaborative researchers in the two fields of dynamical systems theory and control theory. As well, its basic point of view is of three kinds of complexity: bifurcation phenomena subject to model uncertainty, complex behavior including periodic/quasi-periodic orbits as well as chaotic orbits, and network complexity emerging from dynamical interactions between subsystems. Analysis and Control of Complex Dynamical Systems offers a valuable resource for mathematicians, physicists,...
