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.

Technology science is the science of creating, inventing, or designing new things in the form of human-made objects, so-called artifacts, commonly referred to as technology. In this book, we refer to natural science, social science, and other kinds of science concerned with understanding the world as it is, including the artifacts that already exist, as explanation science. Technology science often involves explanation science, for example, to better understand the properties of materials needed to build new artifacts. Then the use of explanation science is subordinate to the end goal of inventing an artifact to fulfill some (potential) human needs. Accordingly, explanation science involves technology science to create new specialized instruments, probes, etc. to uncover factual relationships and better understand reality. Machine Learning (or ML for short) is widely used for all kinds of scientific work. Some argue that ML is also changing the way we do research and the scientific method as such.

Because of their novel chemical and physical properties, functional nanomaterials have found increasing industrial applications in nanoelectronics, energy science, and biological applications. Functional Nanomaterials for Sensors surveys advances in functional nanomaterials and their use in sensing. It covers their properties, synthesis, design, fabrication, and their applications, including in chemical, biological, and gas sensing, environmental remediation, fuel cells, catalysis, electronic devices, and biotechnology. Recently, with the improvement of human quality of life, many efforts are being made to live healthy, pleasant, and comfortable lives. Sensors are one of the essential factors for improving the quality of life, and high-performance intelligent sensors are required, so demand for them is expected to increase further in the future. Recently, functional materials that give functions to sensors are becoming more important. In particular, nanofunctional materials existing in various components and forms are attracting more attention because they have unique physical, chemical, mechanical, and optical properties differentiated from existing bulk materials. Recently, research on nanotubes including carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and nanocomposites has been very active to be further developed in existing nanoparticle research and applied as sensors. This book examines the latest nanosensor research and development (R&D) trends such as gas sensors, water quality sensors, biosensors, light sensors, and physical sensors, and it is predicted that high functionality and miniaturization of sensors by nanomaterials will be used as a very important part.
