Overview: Uniquely covers application of a broad spectrum of sensors for monitoring of cracks, deformations, loads, and other types of structural anomaliesCivil infrastructure systems are generally the most expensive assets in any country, and these systems are deteriorating at an alarming rate. In addition, these systems have a long service life in comparison to most other commercial products. As well, the introduction of intelligent materials and innovative design approaches in these systems is painfully slow due to heavy relianceon traditional construction and maintenance practices, and the

Overview: First monograph dedicated to quantized identification in systems.Applications to communication and computer networks, signal processing, sensor networks, mobile agents, data fusion, remote sensing, teThis book concerns the identi?cation of systems in which only quantized output observations are available, due to sensor limitations, signal quan- zation, or coding for communications. Although there are many excellent treaties in system identi?cation and its related subject areas, a syst- atic study of identi?cation with quantized data is still in its early stage. This book presents new

Overview: Die Anforderungen an einen modernen Kunststoff sind vielfältig. Derartige Werkstoffe müssen neben höchsten mechanischen Ansprüchen auch den Anforderungen an die elektrischen, optischen und akustischen Eigenschaften genügen. Marcus Schoßig geht von der werkstoffphysikalischen Beschreibung der Eigenschaften von glasfaserverstärkten Polyolefinwerkstoffen aus und korreliert deren Ergebnisse mit Resultaten morphologischer Untersuchungen zur Aufstellung von Struktur-Eigenschafts-Beziehungen. Er bewertet die (bruch-)mechanischen Werkstoffeigenschaften und wendet hybride Methoden der Kunstst

Overview: Defect solid state has been an area of major scientific and technological interest for the last few decades, the resulting important applications sus­ taining this interest. Solid electrolytes represent one area of defect solid state. The early work on defect ionic crystals and, in particular, the classic results of Kiukkola and Wagner in 1957 on stabilized zirconia and doped thoria laid the foundation for a systematic study of solid electrolytes. In the same year, Ure reported on the ionic conductivity of calcium fluoride. Since then, intense worldwide research has advanced our unde

Overview: Includes supplementary material: .This book contains a detailed presentation of general principles of sensitivity analysis as well as their applications to sample cases of remote sensing experiments. An emphasis is made on applications of adjoint problems, because they are more efficient in many practical cases, although their formulation may seem counterintuitive to a beginner. Special attention is paid to forward problems based on higher-order partial differential equations, where a novel matrix operator approach to formulation of corresponding adjoint problems is presented..Sensit

Overview: A social psychological view of a post-factual age.Questions about shelters, holding areas and other psychological Special features.The great narratives still existIn the summer of 2018, the authors of the book stood in the Musée des Arts et Métiers in Paris. They marvelled at the Foucault pendulum, which made its circular movements on a long rope under the dome. Like Casaubon in Umberto Eco‘s book The Foucault Pendulum, the authors were amazed and wondered what could be at the ideal end of the thread pendulum. The fixed point that could give us support and security in an uncertain wo
