This book provides a comprehensive coverage on robot fish including design, modeling and optimization, control, autonomous control and applications. Moreover, the book discusses various important issues for future research and development, including design methodology, control methodology, and autonomous control strategy.

This book describes the development of a new analytical, full-vehicle model with nine degrees of freedom, which uses the new modified skyhook strategy (SKDT) to control the full-vehicle vibration problem.

The finite element (FE) method is one such widely used numerical method. Finite Element Applications begins with demystifying the `black box' of finite element solvers and progresses to addressing the different pillars that make up a robust finite element solution framework.

The book describes in detail electromechanical equipment of PAT systems, their installation and operation, and gives important practical insight into the use of PAT in water transmission and distribution systems, as part of thermal power plants and cooling systems, in oil distribution systems and other systems as well.

Thanks to the emphasis put on analytical methods and numerical results, the book is meant to make students and engineers familiar with all fundamental equations and their derivation, thus stimulating them to write interactive and dynamic programs to analyze instability and vibrational modes.

First, dynamic process simulation models based on mixture flow and two-fluid models are developed for combined-cycle power plants, pulverised coal-fired power plants, concentrated solar power plant and municipal waste incineration.
