This book provides a comprehensive discussion of nonlinear multi-modal structural vibration problems, and shows how vibration suppression can be applied to such systems by considering a sample set of relevant control techniques. It covers the basic principles of nonlinear vibrations that occur in flexible and/or adaptive structures, with an emphasis on engineering analysis and relevant control …
This book covers many advances in the subjects of nano-optics and nano photonics. The author describes the principle and technical schematics of common methods for breaking through the optical diffraction limit and focuses on realizing optical super-resolution with nonlinear effects of thin film materials. The applications of nonlinear optical super-resolution effects in nano-data storage, nano…
This monograph introduces methods for handling filtering and control problems in nonlinear stochastic systems arising from network-induced phenomena consequent on limited communication capacity. Such phenomena include communication delay, packet dropout, signal quantization or saturation, randomly occurring nonlinearities and randomly occurring uncertainties. The text is self-contained, begi…
This book expounds the principle and related applications of nonlinear principal component analysis (PCA), which is useful method to analyze mixed measurement levels data. In the part dealing with the principle, after a brief introduction of ordinary PCA, a PCA for categorical data (nominal and ordinal) is introduced as nonlinear PCA, in which an optimal scaling technique is used to quantify …
The book discusses the solutions to nonlinear ordinary differential equations (ODEs) using analytical and numerical approximation methods. Recently, analytical approximation methods have been largely used in solving linear and nonlinear lower-order ODEs. It also discusses using these methods to solve some strong nonlinear ODEs. There are two chapters devoted to solving nonlinear ODEs using num…
Focusing on the interface between mathematics and physics, this book offers an introduction to the physics, the mathematics, and the numerical simulation of nonlinear systems in optics and atomic physics. The text covers a wide spectrum of current research on the subject, which is an extremely active field in physics and mathematical physics, with a very broad range of implications, both for f…
This work introduces a new method for analysing measured signals: nonlinear mode decomposition, or NMD. It justifies NMD mathematically, demonstrates it in several applications and explains in detail how to use it in practice. Scientists often need to be able to analyse time series data that include a complex combination of oscillatory modes of differing origin, usually contaminated by random f…
Volume ini adalah yang terakhir dari seri Contemporary Philosophy. Seperti jilid-jilid sebelumnya dalam seri ini, the present chronicles dimaksudkan untuk memberikan survei tentang tren signifikan dalam filsafat kontemporer. Kebutuhan akan survei semacam itu, menurut saya, meningkat daripada menurun selama bertahun-tahun. Adegan filosofis muncul, karena berbagai alasan, lebih kompleks dari sebe…
Sekarang sudah tepat 10 tahun sejak edisi pertama jilid ini, Philosophy of Chemistry: Synthesis of a New Discipline (Springer 2006 – - diedit bersama dengan Davis Baird - pertama kali muncul sebagai Jilid 242 dari Boston Studies in the Philosophy of seri Sains. Pada saat itu, filsafat kimia masih menjadi bidang yang sedang berkembang. Secara kebetulan juga sudah 20 tahun sejak kedua editor ji…
Isu kolonialisme dan munculnya identitas baru dalam masyarakat tradisional India telah menarik perhatian kritis para sarjana dari berbagai bidang penyelidikan seperti sejarah, sosiologi, politik, serta studi agama dan subaltern. Namun, sampai batas tertentu, kemunculan filsafat India 'modern' - kadang-kadang dicirikan sebagai " filsafat India Anglophone — - menempatkannya dalam konteks sejara…
