2013-01-16T16:43:00.003-08:00

Abstract : Electric Motors and Drives is intended for non-specialist users of electric motors and drives, filling the gap between maths- and theory-based academic textbooks and the more prosaic 'handbooks', which provide useful detail but little opportunity for the development of real insight and understanding. The book explores all of the widely-used modern types of motor and drive, including conventional and brushless D.C., induction motors and servo drives, providing readers with the knowledge to select the right technology for a given job. The third edition includes additional diagrams and worked examples throughout. New topics include digital interfacing and control of drives, direct torque control of induction motors and current-fed operation in DC drives. The material on brushless servomotors has also been expanded. Austin Hughes' approach, using a minimum of maths, has established Electric Motors and Drives as a leading guide for electrical engineers and mechanical engineers, and the key to a complex subject for a wider readership, including technicians, managers and students. * Acquire knowledge of and understanding of the capabilities and limitations of motors and drives without struggling through unnecessary maths and theory * Updated material on the latest and most widely-used modern motors and drives, including brushless servomotors * New edition includes additional diagrams and worked examples throughout

Applied Linear Algebra and Matrix Analysis

2012-03-17T07:51:00.004-07:00

This book is about matrix and linear algebra, and their applications. For
many students the tools of matrix and linear algebra will be as fundamental
in their professional work as the tools of calculus; thus it is important to
ensure that students appreciate the utility and beauty of these subjects as
well as the mechanics. To this end, applied mathematics and mathematical
modeling ought to have an important role in an introductory treatment of
linear algebra. In this way students see that concepts of matrix and linear
algebra make concrete problems workable.
In this book we weave signiﬁcant motivating examples into the fabric of
the text. I hope that instructors will not omit this material; that would be
a missed opportunity for linear algebra! The text has a strong orientation
toward numerical computation and applied mathematics, which means that
matrix analysis plays a central role. All three of the basic components of lin-
ear algebra — theory, computation, and applications — receive their due.
The proper balance of these components gives students the tools they need
as well as the motivation to acquire these tools. Another feature of this text
is an emphasis on linear algebra as an experimental science; this emphasis is
found in certain examples, computer exercises, and projects. Contemporary
mathematical software make ideal “labs” for mathematical experimentation.
Nonetheless, this text is independent of speciﬁc hardware and software plat-
forms. Applications and ideas should take center stage, not software.
This book is designed for an introductory course in matrix and linear
algebra. Here are some of its main goals:
• To provide a balanced blend of applications, theory, and computation that
emphasizes their interdependence.
• To assist those who wish to incorporate mathematical experimentation
through computer technology into the class. Each chapter has computer
exercises sprinkled throughout and an optional section on computational
notes. Students should use the locally available tools to carry out the experiments suggested in the project and use the word processing capabilities
of their computer system to create reports of results.
To help students to express their thoughts clearly. Requiring written re-
ports is one vehicle for teaching good expression of mathematical ideas.
To encourage cooperative learning. Mathematics educators are becoming
increasingly appreciative of this powerful mode of learning. Team projects
and reports are excellent vehicles for cooperative learning.
To promote individual learning by providing a complete and readable text.
I hope that readers will ﬁnd the text worthy of being a permanent part of
their reference library, particularly for the basic linear algebra needed in
the applied mathematical sciences.

ANALYSIS, CONTROL AND OPTIMIZATION OF COMPLEX DYNAMIC SYSTEMS

2012-03-17T07:45:00.002-07:00

Complex systems present important challenges, in part due to their sheer size, which makes it difficult to grasp their dynamic behavior, optimize their operations, or study their reliability. Yet we live in a world where, due to increasing inter-dependencies and networking of systems, complexity has become the norm. This book gathers in a single volume a spectrum of complex dynamic systems-related papers written by experts in their fields, and strongly representative of current research trends.

Analysis and Synthesis of Fuzzy Control Systems A Model-Based Approach

2012-03-17T07:42:00.004-07:00

Fuzzy logic control (FLC) has proven to be a popular control methodology for many complex systems in industry, and is often used with great success as an alternative to conventional control techniques. However, because it is fundamentally model free, conventional FLC suffers from a lack of tools for systematic stability analysis and controller design. To address this problem, many model-based fuzzy control approaches have been developed, with the fuzzy dynamic model or the Takagi and Sugeno (TS) fuzzy model-based approaches receiving the greatest attention. Analysis and Synthesis of Fuzzy Control Systems: A Model-Based Approachoffers a unique reference devoted to the systematic analysis and synthesis of model-based fuzzy control systems. After giving a brief review of the varieties of FLC, including the TS fuzzy model-based control, it fully explains the fundamental concepts of fuzzy sets, fuzzy logic, and fuzzy systems. This enables the book to be self-contained and provides a basis for later chapters, which cover: TS fuzzy modeling and identification via nonlinear models or data Stability analysis of TS fuzzy systems Stabilization controller synthesis as well as robust H and observer and output feedback controller synthesis Robust controller synthesis of uncertain TS fuzzy systems Time-delay TS fuzzy systems Fuzzy model predictive control Robust fuzzy filtering Adaptive control of TS fuzzy systems A reference for scientists and engineers in systems and control, the book also serves the needs of graduate students exploring fuzzy logic control. It readily demonstrates that conventional control technology and fuzzy logic control can be elegantly combined and further developed so that disadvantages of conventional FLC can be avoided and the horizon of conventional control technology greatly extended. Many chapters feature application simulation examples and practical numerical examples based on MATLAB.

BEBOP TO THE BOOLEAN BOOGIE An unconwentional guide to electronics fundamentals, components, and processes

2012-03-17T07:36:00.002-07:00

My first exposure to the unique writing style of Clive (call me “Max”)
Maxfield was a magazine article that he co-wrote with an associate. The
article was technically brilliant (he paid me to say that) and very infor-
mative, but it was the short biography at the end of the piece that I enjoyed
the most. I say enjoyed the most because, as you will soon learn, Max does
not necessarily follow the herd or dance to the same drummer as the masses.
Trade journals have a reputation for being informative and educational but
also as dry as West Texas real estate. Anyway, Max’s personally submitted biography not only included a
message from his mom, but also made mention of the fact that he (Max)
is taller than his co-author, who just happened to be his boss at the time.
Now to some people this may seem irrelevant, but to our readers (and Max’s
boss), these kind of things-trivial as they may seem to the uninitiated-
are what helps us to maintain our off-grid sense of the world. Max has
become, for better or worse, a part of that alternate life experience.
So now it’s a couple of years later, and Max has asked me to write a
few words by way of introduction. Personally, I think that the title of this
tome alone (hmmm, a movie?) should provide some input as to what YOU
can expect, But, for those who require a bit more: be forewarned, dear
reader, YOU will probably learn far more than you could hope to expect from
Bebop to the Boolean Boogie, just because of the unique approach Max has
to technical material. The author will guide you from the basics through
a minefield of potentially boring theoretical mish-mash, to a Nirvana
of understanding. You will not suffer that fate familiar to every reader:
was trying to say. For a limey, Max shoots amazingly well and from the hip,
but in a way that will keep you interested and amused. If you are not
vigilant, you may not only learn something, but you may even enjoy the
process. The only further advice I can give is to “expect the unexpected.”

Model Theory, Algebra, and Geometry

2012-03-10T15:30:00.000-08:00

Model Theory, Algebra, and Geometry
by Deirdre Haskell, Anand Pillay, and Charles Steinhorn
Model theory is a branch of mathematical logic that has found applications in several areas of algebra and geometry. It provides a unifying framework for the understanding of old results and more recently has led to significant new results, such as a proof of the Mordell-Lang conjecture for function fields in positive characteristic. Perhaps surprisingly, it is sometimes the most abstract aspects of model theory that are relevant to these applications.
