Download or read book A Theoretical Approach to Analysis and Design of Efficient Reduced Control for Space Structures written by Hayrani Oz and published by . This book was released on 1990 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The report develops concepts of efficiency for the control of structural dynamic systems. The efficiencies defined are unique nondimensional measures of structure control system performance forming a common basis of evaluation of such systems. Developments are presented both for distributed parameter systems and spatially discrete, typically finite element models of structural control systems are given by developing an efficiency modes analysis of controllers. The significance of relationship of controller efficiency modes to structural modes is studies. Based on these concepts, efficient model/ controller reduction approaches are developed. The efficiencies of systems with dynamic compensators including reduced order efficiency-state estimators are also developed. Illustrative examples based on the ACOSS-4 tetrahedral structure and the CSDL-ACOSS-6 (Model 2) as typical large space structures, are given. The research establishes that efficiency of structural control systems is a fundamental concept that must be addressed in any structure control system design. The efficiency measures also establish the performance of -dimensional systems on the basis of finite dimensional control design models.

Download or read book Guide to Efficient Software Design written by David P. Voorhees and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-01-01 with total page 519 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This classroom-tested textbook presents an active-learning approach to the foundational concepts of software design. These concepts are then applied to a case study, and reinforced through practice exercises, with the option to follow either a structured design or object-oriented design paradigm. The text applies an incremental and iterative software development approach, emphasizing the use of design characteristics and modeling techniques as a way to represent higher levels of design abstraction, and promoting the model-view-controller (MVC) architecture. Topics and features: provides a case study to illustrate the various concepts discussed throughout the book, offering an in-depth look at the pros and cons of different software designs; includes discussion questions and hands-on exercises that extend the case study and apply the concepts to other problem domains; presents a review of program design fundamentals to reinforce understanding of the basic concepts; focuses on a bottom-up approach to describing software design concepts; introduces the characteristics of a good software design, emphasizing the model-view-controller as an underlying architectural principle; describes software design from both object-oriented and structured perspectives; examines additional topics on human-computer interaction design, quality assurance, secure design, design patterns, and persistent data storage design; discusses design concepts that may be applied to many types of software development projects; suggests a template for a software design document, and offers ideas for further learning. Students of computer science and software engineering will find this textbook to be indispensable for advanced undergraduate courses on programming and software design. Prior background knowledge and experience of programming is required, but familiarity in software design is not assumed.

Download or read book Integrated Organic Farming Systems Approach for Efficient Food Production and Environmental Sustainability written by Subhash Babu and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2023-10-24 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Researchers and policy planners are in search of a solution to address the twin challenges of maximizing agricultural production while maintaining/ improving ecosystem sustainability. Enhancing farm productivity is needed in certain regions of the world to satisfy local food consumption and farmers' needs. Linear economy-based-input intensive conventional agriculture (CAPS) has increased production output but has not made agriculture more sustainable. Henceforth, a farming system that aims to reduce the adverse impact on the environment, as well as enhance agricultural productivity by reducing environmental footprint and improving soil health and economic wellbeing is needed in the present day. Integrated organic farming systems (IOFS) involve residue recycling, bio-intensive cropping, high-tech horticulture, mushroom, dairy, poultry, fishery, apiary, etc can improve the ecosystem health and augment the income and livelihood security of the growers. Worldwide, IOFS are gaining popularity due to improved ecosystem services and improving farm productivity and livelihood security. Hence, IOFS- a circular economy-based (reuse-recycle-repair) agricultural production system can be alternatives to energy-intensive inputs based on CAPS. Hence, there is an urgent need to select suitable IOFS models with proper resource optimization for productivity maximization and better ecosystem sustainability. Undoubtedly IOFS reduces energy use from synthetic agrochemicals but food production in IOFS is highly dependent on fossil fuel energy that must be addressed urgently. Despite the enormous positive outlooks, there are several challenges in the adoption of IOFS models. The IOFS is a multiproduct-oriented production system that needs multi specialties and marketing. Capacity building and infrastructure development are also great challenges in adopting IOFS. Moreover, the development of IOFS models is highly individualistic, and location-specific production systems need proper resource optimization and characterization. Hence, the development of site-specific IOFS models to maintain food quality with productivity improvement is a genuine issue to the researchers, which needs to be addressed. Papers (original research/review/letter to the editors) spanning across the discipline related to the IOFS development in sustainable ways are encouraged for inclusion in this research topic. Papers should explicitly cover ecosystem restoration, farm productivity, and profitability and could have a specific focus on the following areas: -the IOFS models for enhancing productivity and environmental quality through an integrated management approach aiming at the maximization of use efficiencies -the management of biomass waste to restore the soil fertility, and ecosystem services the effect of integrated management practices on greenhouse gas emissions and energy use -Critical approaches for climate-smart food production systems

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is concerned with the processing of signals that have been sam pled and digitized. The fundamental theory behind Digital Signal Process ing has been in existence for decades and has extensive applications to the fields of speech and data communications, biomedical engineering, acous tics, sonar, radar, seismology, oil exploration, instrumentation and audio signal processing to name but a few [87]. The term "Digital Signal Processing", in its broadest sense, could apply to any operation carried out on a finite set of measurements for whatever purpose. A book on signal processing would usually contain detailed de scriptions of the standard mathematical machinery often used to describe signals. It would also motivate an approach to real world problems based on concepts and results developed in linear systems theory, that make use of some rather interesting properties of the time and frequency domain representations of signals. While this book assumes some familiarity with traditional methods the emphasis is altogether quite different. The aim is to describe general methods for carrying out optimal signal processing.

Download or read book Computationally Efficient Model Predictive Control Algorithms written by Maciej Ławryńczuk and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-08-27 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book thoroughly discusses computationally efficient (suboptimal) Model Predictive Control (MPC) techniques based on neural models. The subjects treated include: · A few types of suboptimal MPC algorithms in which a linear approximation of the model or of the predicted trajectory is successively calculated on-line and used for prediction. · Implementation details of the MPC algorithms for feed forward perceptron neural models, neural Hammerstein models, neural Wiener models and state-space neural models. · The MPC algorithms based on neural multi-models (inspired by the idea of predictive control). · The MPC algorithms with neural approximation with no on-line linearization. · The MPC algorithms with guaranteed stability and robustness. · Cooperation between the MPC algorithms and set-point optimization. Thanks to linearization (or neural approximation), the presented suboptimal algorithms do not require demanding on-line nonlinear optimization. The presented simulation results demonstrate high accuracy and computational efficiency of the algorithms. For a few representative nonlinear benchmark processes, such as chemical reactors and a distillation column, for which the classical MPC algorithms based on linear models do not work properly, the trajectories obtained in the suboptimal MPC algorithms are very similar to those given by the ``ideal'' MPC algorithm with on-line nonlinear optimization repeated at each sampling instant. At the same time, the suboptimal MPC algorithms are significantly less computationally demanding.
