A Generalized Framework of Linear Multivariable Control proposes a number of generalized models by using the generalized inverse of matrix, while the usual linear multivariable control theory relies on some regular models.

The book supports that in H-infinity control, the linear fractional transformation formulation is relying on the inverse of the block matrix. If the block matrix is not regular, the H-infinity control does not apply any more in the normal framework. Therefore, it is very important to relax those restrictions to generalize the classical notions and models...

The book focuses on the processing-structure-properties triangle as it applies to metals and alloys. The first part deals with structure and change of structure through phase transformations. The second part deals with plastic deformation, strengthening mechanisms and mechanical properties as they relate to structure. The book includes a chapter on physical metallurgy of steels as a case study for application of the fundamental principles discussed. The final chapter introduces computational tools, involving computational thermodynamics and kinetics, to perform alloy design and the...

The purpose of this book is to give a basic understanding of rotor dynamics phenomena with the help of simple rotor models and subsequently, the modern analysis methods for real life rotor systems. This background will be helpful in the identification of rotor-bearing system parameters and its use in futuristic model-based condition monitoring and, fault diagnostics and prognostics. The book starts with introductory material for finite element methods and moves to linear and non-linear vibrations, continuous systems, vibration measurement techniques, signal processing and error analysis,...

Finite element analysis is covered, with examples using ANSYS for applied elasticity, and ABAQUES for plasticity. The text progresses from two-dimensional to three-dimensional concepts, with...

Granular systems arise in a variety of geological and industrial settings, from landslides, avalanches, and erosion to agricultural grains and pharmaceutical powders. Understanding the underlying physics that governs their behavior is the key to developing effective handling and transport mechanisms as well as appropriate environmental policies.

Handbook of Granular Materials presents foundational techniques used to investigate granular systems, examples of their use in contemporary research, and extensions to granular-like systems that greatly expand the realm of...
