Free Download Intelligent Fault Diagnosis and Health Assessment for Complex Electro-Mechanical Systems
English | 2023 | ISBN: 9819935369 | 768 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 137 MB
Based on AI and machine learning, this book systematically presents the theories and methods for complex electro-mechanical system fault prognosis, intelligent diagnosis, and health state assessment in modern industry. The book emphasizes feature extraction, incipient fault prediction, fault classification, and degradation assessment, which are based on supervised-, semi-supervised-, manifold-, and deep learning; machinery degradation state tracking and prognosis by phase space reconstruction; and complex electro-mechanical system reliability assessment and health maintenance based on running state info. These theories and methods are integrated with practical industrial applications, which can help the readers get into the field more smoothly and provide an important reference for their study, research, and engineering practice.

Robust Control of Robots Fault Tolerant Approaches


Free Download Robust Control of Robots: Fault Tolerant Approaches By Siqueira, Adriano A G;Terra, Marco H;Bergerman, Marcel
2011 | 228 Pages | ISBN: 0857298976 | PDF | 5 MB
Robust Control of Robotsbridges the gap between robust control theory and applications, with a special focus on robotic manipulators. It is divided into three parts:robust control of regular, fully-actuated robotic manipulators;robust post-failure control of robotic manipulators; androbust control of cooperative robotic manipulators.In each chapter the mathematical concepts are illustrated with experimental results obtained with a two-manipulator system. They are presented in enough detail to allow readers to implement the concepts in their own systems, or in Control Environment for Robots, a MATLAB(R)-based simulation program freely available from the authors.The target audience forRobust Control of Robotsincludes researchers, practicing engineers, and graduate students interested in implementing robust and fault tolerant control methodologies to robotic manipulators.

You Might Be an Asshole… But It Might Not Be Your Fault! The guide to good leadership that will work for anyone


Free Download You Might Be an Asshole…: But It Might Not Be Your Fault! The guide to good leadership that will work for anyone. by Katie Ervin
English | May 1st, 2023 | ISBN: 9798218174088 | 152 pages | True EPUB | 2.68 MB
In You Might Be an Asshole but it Might Not Be Your Fault, Dr. Katie Ervin shares a solution to how we help develop the bad leaders around us. She is a firm believer that most people don’t want to be bad, they just don’t know what they don’t know. In this book, we follow the story of this type of leader. Mike was modeling the behavior he had seen throughout his life. He had early success by being an asshole, it was not until he received a leader title that his behavior caught up with him.

On African Fault Lines Meditations on Alterity Politics


Free Download On African Fault Lines: Meditations on Alterity Politics By V. Y. Mudimbe
2013 | 468 Pages | ISBN: 1869142446 | PDF | 7 MB
This collection of meditations reformulates the experience of African studies as a concern with three thematics: Africa’s place within today’s intellectual, economic, and cultural configurations; the main axes that structure disciplinary practices concerned with African difference; and the possibility of understanding being-in-the-world with reference to alienation, creativity, and friendship. *** This book is highly innovative in its re-evaluation of alterity. It marshalls a broad range of theories from Adorno to Marx to Walter Benjamin, all the while "grounding" it in African politics and aesthetics through the lens of Yacouba Konate. A veritable tour de force, if ever there was one. – Kgomotso Masemola, Associate Professor of English, U. of South Africa (Series: Thinking Africa)

Fault-Tolerant Control for Time-Varying Delayed T-S Fuzzy Systems


Free Download Fault-Tolerant Control for Time-Varying Delayed T-S Fuzzy Systems
English | 2023 | ISBN: 981991356X | 372 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 38 MB
This book delves into the complexities of fault estimation and fault-tolerant control for nonlinear time-delayed systems. Through the use of multiple-integral observers, it addresses fault estimation and active fault-tolerant control for time-delayed fuzzy systems with actuator faults and both actuator and sensor faults. Additionally, the book explores the use of sliding mode control to solve issues of sensor fault estimation, intermittent actuator fault estimation, and active fault-tolerant control for time-delayed switched fuzzy systems. Furthermore, it presents the use of H∞ guaranteed cost control for both time-delayed switched fuzzy systems and time-delayed switched fuzzy stochastic systems with intermittent actuator and sensor faults. Finally, the problem of delay-dependent finite-time fault-tolerant control for uncertain switched T-S fuzzy systems with multiple time-varying delays, intermittent process faults and intermittent sensor faults is studied. The research on fault estimation and tolerant control has drawn attention from engineers and scientists in various fields such as electrical, mechanical, aerospace, chemical, and nuclear engineering. The book provides a comprehensive framework for this topic, placing a strong emphasis on the importance of stability analysis and the impact of result conservatism on the design and implementation of observers and controllers. It is intended for undergraduate and graduate students interested in fault diagnosis and tolerant control technology, researchers studying time-varying delayed T-S fuzzy systems, and observer/controller design engineers working on system stability applications.
