This book proposes a conceptual framework for understanding measurement across a broad range of scientific fields and areas of application, such as physics, engineering, education, and psychology. It addresses contemporary issues and controversies within measurement in light of the framework, including operationalism, definitional uncertainty, and the relations between measurement and computation, and describes how the framework, operating as a shared concept system, supports understanding measurement’s work in different domains, using examples in the physical and human sciences. This revised and expanded second edition features a new analysis of the analogies and the differences between the error/uncertainty-related approach adopted in physical measurement and the validity-related approach adopted in psychosocial measurement. In addition, it provides a better analysis and presentation of measurement scales, in particular about their relations with quantity units, and introduces the measurand identification/definition as a part of the "Hexagon Framework" along with new examples from the physical and psychosocial sciences. Researchers and academics across a wide range of disciplines including biological, physical, social, and behavioral scientists, as well as specialists in measurement and philosophy appreciate the work’s fresh and provocative approach to the field at a time when sound measurements of complex scientific systems are increasingly essential to solving critical global problems.

Within a unified switched-control framework, this book investigates the high-performance control designs and theoretic analyses for teleoperation systems, including the joint space and task space teleoperations, the homogeneous and heterogeneous teleoperations, and the single-master single-slave and multi-master multi-slave teleoperations. The book begins with an introduction to the concepts and challenges of networked teleoperation systems. Then, it investigates a new adaptive control framework based on auxiliary switched filters for the bilateral teleoperation systems to handle the model uncertainty and non-passive external forces. To overcome the input constraints of robotic systems, this adaptive method is also extended to the anti-windup adaptive control case. Furthermore, to apply to multi-robot remote collaboration scenarios and heterogeneous teleoperations, two tele-coordination methods and an adaptive semi-autonomous control method are respectively developed. This title will be an essential reference for researchers and engineers interested in teleoperation, robotic systems, and nonlinear control systems. It would also prove useful to graduate students in the fields of science, engineering, and Computer Science. Readers of our book are assumed to have some background in robot control and nonlinear control.

The manufacturing industries remain the foundation of local, regional, and global economies. Manufacturing plants operate in dynamic markets that demand upgrading with transformational technologies for maintaining profitability, competitiveness, and business sustainability. Yet most manufacturing plants currently use technologies that are no longer competitive, and industry leaders face an overwhelming array of operational challenges that require agile and enhanced transformational solutions. This book offers manufacturers effective strategies and tools for the adoption and implementation of advanced operational technologies to ensure long-term innovation, efficiency, and profitability. Transformational Technologies that have potentials include Digitization, Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Digital Twin, Industrial Internet of Things, and Cyber Security. Appropriateness of these technologies varies in the application of Automation, Optimization, Energy Conversion and Conservation, Resource Utilization, Assets Utilization, Quality Management, and Supply-Chain Integration.

Provides students with essentials of safety for technical systems, the most common pitfalls, concepts and techniques. This textbook provides up-to-date content in the fields of system engineering, system safety and functional safety, with up-to-date examples from the automotive, industrial and aerospace domains, with respect to the growing complexity of the field and the increased utilization of complex hardware and software in vehicle designs. The book covers practical functional safety insights concerning the required standards (e.g. IEC 61508, IEC 62061, ISO 13849, ISO 26262), but also inherent system safety process as a key factor towards the mitigation of systematic faults. Readers will be equipped with a broad understanding of safety and functional safety, with balanced theoretical and practical views in this area. The book covers the specific topics of introduction to system engineering, overall system safety and its relation to functional safety. Functional safety is introduced in all the required concepts, terminology and safety analysis methods. Basic fault-tolerance concepts are covered, including the design considerations to achieve functional safety. The book also gives an introduction to the required system safety processes and the applications of relevant functional safety standards.

Discusses how to optimize inspection, maintenance, and cumulative damage models. This book surveys recent applications of inspection models, maintenance models and cumulative damage models, as well as discusses the policies involved with these models. It explains how a stochastic approach can be applied to systems using real-world examples. The book begins by introducing and summarizing standard inspection models. It dedicates chapters to random inspection models and general inspection models, before moving on to discuss inspection policies and checkpoint models. The book discusses inspection of reliability systems, such as missile maintenance systems, as well as Markov models of inspection. The book concludes with a summary of other inspection models, problems they face, and solutions to these problems. Each chapter utilizes examples to illustrate the various models, methods, and policies. Inspections are needed greatly for everything with high reliability. Today, hard-time maintenances rarely apply to new products to avoid high operation cost. On the other hand, condition monitoring maintenances are widely applied to most systems, and their system status can be judged from inspection results and minimum necessary maintenances can be performed.

In an uncertain and complex environment, to ensure secure and stable operations of large-scale power systems is one of the biggest challenges that power engineers have to address today. Traditionally, power system operations and decision-making in controls are based on power system computations of physical models describing the behavior of power systems. Largely, physical models are constructed according to some assumptions and simplifications, and such is the case with power system models. However, the complexity of power system stability problems, along with the system's inherent uncertainties and nonlinearities, can result in models that are impractical or inaccurate. This calls for adaptive or deep-learning algorithms to significantly improve current control schemes that solve decision and control problems. Cyberphysical Infrastructures in Power Systems: Architectures and Vulnerabilities provides an extensive overview of CPS concepts and infrastructures in power systems with a focus on the current state-of-the-art research in this field.
