Fractional-Order Design: Devices, Circuits, and Systems introduces applications from the design perspective so that the reader can learn about, and get ready to, design these applications. The book also includes the different techniques employed to comprehensively and straightforwardly design fractional-order systems/devices. Furthermore, a lot of mathematics is available in the literature for solving the fractional-order calculus for system application. However, a small portion is employed in the design of fractional-order systems. This book introduces the mathematics that has been employed explicitly for fractional-order systems. Electronic oscillators, which generate sinusoidal waveforms without any input signal, are one of the most widely used active devices. They are used in several areas of science and technology; some potential applications of sinusoidal oscillators are wired and wireless communication systems, navigation systems, radar, and biomedical equipment. Nowadays the concept of fractional calculus is being utilized in the design and realization of various signal processing systems such as integrators, differentiators, filters, and oscillators.

This book presents a novel approach to the classical scientific discipline of Structural Engineering, which is inspired by numerous current applications from domains of Civil, Mechanical or Aerospace Engineering. The main goal of this book is to help with making the best choice between accuracy and efficiency, when it comes to building the most suitable structural models by practising engineers using modern computational tools available in commercial software products (SAP, FEAP, ANSYS …) for which we have carried out many developments that have been become the main reference in the field. Any development of this kind is not a mere modification of discrete approximation, but a thorough treatment with a sound theoretical formulation based upon Hu-Washizu variational principle with independent rotation field, its corresponding regularization and finally the most appropriate finite element interpolation that can match those used for structural elements. Proposed approach allows us to provide a unified discrete approximation of complex structural assemblies and greatly simplify the modeling task for structural engineers. Thus, in conclusion, this book can also be perceived as the theoretical manual for using modern computer models successfully by practising engineers.

A practical and straightforward exploration of the basic tools for the modeling, analysis, and design of control systems. In An Introduction to System Modeling and Control, Dr. Chiasson delivers an accessible and intuitive guide to understanding modeling and control for students in electrical, mechanical, and aerospace/aeronautical engineering. The book begins with an introduction to the need for control by describing how an aircraft flies complete with figures illustrating roll, pitch, and yaw control using its ailerons, elevators, and rudder, respectively. The book moves on to rigid body dynamics about a single axis (gears, cart rolling down an incline) and then to modeling DC motors, DC tachometers, and optical encoders. Using the transfer function representation of these dynamic models, PID controllers are introduced as an effective way to track step inputs and reject constant disturbances. A complete set of MATLAB/SIMULINK files for examples and problems included in the book. Perfect for electrical, mechanical, and aerospace/aeronautical engineering students, An Introduction to System Modeling and Control will also be an invaluable addition to the libraries of practicing engineers.

Computational Modelling of Intelligent Soft Matter: Shape Memory Polymers and Hydrogels covers the multi-physics response of various smart polymer materials, such as temperature-sensitive shape memory polymers and temperature/light/chemo-sensitive hydrogels. Several thermo-chemo-mechanical constitutive models for these smart polymers are outlined, with their real-world applications highlighted. The numerical counterpart of each introduced constitutive model is also presented, thus empowering readers to solve practical problems requiring thermomechanical responses of these materials as well as design and analyze real-world structures made from them. Smart materials are a type of materials that can respond to their environment and surroundings. In other words, smart materials can be defined as materials that can remember configurations by a proper stimulation. This property of smart materials has attracted a great deal of interest in various applications, such as automotive, aerospace, textile, robotics, and medical industries.
