Metaheuristic Optimization for the Design of Automatic Control Laws Guillaume Sandou
ISBN: 9781118796481 Издательство: John Wiley & Sons Limited Язык: Английский The classic approach in Automatic Control relies on the use of simplified models of the systems and reformulations of the specifications. In this framework, the control law can be computed using deterministic algorithms. However, this approach fails when the system is too complex for its model to be sufficiently simplified, when the designer has many constraints to take into account, or when the goal is not only to design a control but also to optimize it. This book presents a new trend in Automatic Control with the use of metaheuristic algorithms. These kinds of algorithm can optimize any criterion and constraint, and therefore do not need…

Practical Guide to Diagnosing Structural Movement in Buildings Malcolm Holland
ISBN: 9781118250365 Издательство: John Wiley & Sons Limited Язык: Английский What's the Crack? When cracking is observed in a building the most common reaction is that it must be the foundations and that it must be serious. Many surveyors are nervous about diagnosing cracks. This is understandable, as the interpretation of cracks can be difficult to teach, with university courses providing little or no time for field experience. Yet by understanding one straightforward principle the majority of cracks can be diagnosed in just a few minutes. Linking this with a good knowledge of construction techniques, the factors that distort cracking patterns and the key features of common causes of cracking, almost all cracks can…

Frequency Acquisition Techniques for Phase Locked Loops Daniel Talbot B.
ISBN: 9781118383315 Издательство: John Wiley & Sons Limited Язык: Английский How to acquire the input frequency from an unlocked state A phase locked loop (PLL) by itself cannot become useful until it has acquired the applied signal's frequency. Often, a PLL will never reach frequency acquisition (capture) without explicit assistive circuits. Curiously, few books on PLLs treat the topic of frequency acquisition in any depth or detail. Frequency Acquisition Techniques for Phase Locked Loops offers a no-nonsense treatment that is equally useful for engineers, technicians, and managers. Since mathematical rigor for its own sake can degenerate into intellectual «rigor mortis,» the author introduces readers to the basics…
