Fuzzy Hybrid Computing in Construction Engineering and Management: Theory and Applications
English | 2018 | ISBN: 1787438694 | 462 Pages | EPUB (True) | 11 MB
This book provides an introduction to fuzzy logic and surveys emerging research trends and the application of state-of-the-art fuzzy hybrid computing techniques in the field of construction engineering and management. Authors cover the theory and implementation of fuzzy hybrid computing methodologies for arithmetic, optimization, machine learning, multi-criteria decision-making, simulation, cognitive maps and data modelling. The practical application of these techniques to solve real-world problems across a wide range of construction engineering and management issues is also demonstrated and discussed. The completion of effectively planned, executed and controlled construction projects is dependent on numerous interacting factors and human activities, both of which introduce vagueness and subjective uncertainty into already complex processes. While expert knowledge is an essential component of effective decision-making, analysis and consideration of expert knowledge expressed in linguistic terms remains a challenging aspect of construction engineering and management. Fuzzy logic, which has applications in many disciplines, has the potential to address certain challenges inherent in construction engineering and management, in part because of its strengths in modelling human reasoning, dealing with subjective uncertainty and computing with linguistic terms. However, fuzzy logic alone has a number of limitations that can only be overcome by its integration with other, complementary methodologies, together leading to advanced and powerful fuzzy hybrid computing techniques. This book is of particular interest to students, researchers and practitioners who want to learn about the latest developments in fuzzy hybrid computing in construction engineering and management.

Fundamentals of Statistics
English | 2018 | ISBN: 0134508300 | 769 Pages | PDF (True) | 33 MB
With Fundamentals of Statistics, author and instructor Mike Sullivan III draws on his passion for statistics and teaching to provide the tools needed to see that statistics is connected, not only within individual concepts, but also in the world at large. As a current introductory statistics instructor, Mike Sullivan pulls ideas and strategies used in his classroom into more than 350 new and updated exercises, over 100 new and updated examples, new Retain Your Knowledge problems, and Big Data problems. This practical text takes advantage of the latest statistical software, enabling you to focus on building conceptual understanding rather than memorizing formulas. All resources, including the Student Activity Workbook and Author in the Classroom videos were created for Mike's classroom to help you succeed and stay engaged.

Fundamentals of Energy Analysis of Water Treatment Systems
English | 2026 | ISBN: 1394377223 | 405 Pages | PDF | 8 MB
Designing energy-efficient water treatment systems requires quantitative methods that most engineering curricula fail to provide. Fundamentals of Energy Analysis of Water Treatment Systems delivers the first dedicated textbook connecting thermodynamic fundamentals to water treatment energy calculations. Charles J. Werth, a recognized authority in environmental engineering with over 170 publications, presents a systematic approach for analyzing energy requirements across treatment technologies.

Fundamentals of Electric Vehicle Motor: Principle and Control
English | 2026 | ISBN: 9819580897 | 375 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 63 MB
This "open access" book systematically introduces the fundamental working principles and control theory of automotive AC drive motors. The main content of the book is compiled from automotive electric drive technology, electric machine theory, and AC motor control. The book is organized into three parts: the electromagnetic fundamentals of electric machines, the basic working principles of AC machines, and the vector control theory fundamentals and system integration of automotive AC drive motors. The content arrangement of this book fully considers the curriculum for non-electric engineering majors, striving for an integral structure. The book is distinctive in following points: mathematical analysis methods and physical representations are as consistent as possible, mainly using space vectors and energy methods to describe the electromechanical energy conversion process of electric machines. Additionally, after introducing the motion reference frame, the book introduces the concept of "entrainment electromotive force". Based on this, a four-coil primitive electric machine (physical) model is introduced to uniformly describe the electromechanical energy conversion principle of electric machines. This book can be selected as a textbook for undergraduate or graduate courses in non-electric engineering majors, and can also serve as an introductory reference book for engineers engaged in AC motor drive technology.

Fundamentals of Corrosion Science and Engineering
English | 2026 | ISBN: 3032131375 | 193 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 42 MB
This concise volume examines corrosion, its dangers, its impact on the economy and human safety, and how to protect against it. The author explains the types of corrosion, the mechanism of its occurrence, methods of prevention, and its risks. It provides detailed images that illustrate the types of corrosion, so the engineer or operator can distinguish them and choose the appropriate corrective action.

Fundamentals and Applications of Acoustic Metamaterials: From Seismic to Radio Frequency
English | 2019 | ISBN: 1786303361 | 361 Pages | EPUB (True) | 20 MB
In the last few decades, metamaterials have revolutionized the ways in which waves are controlled, and applied in physics and practical situations. The extraordinary properties of metamaterials, such as their locally resonant structure with deep subwavelength band gaps and their ranges of frequency where propagation is impossible, have opened the way to a host of applications that were previously unavailable. Acoustic metamaterials have been able to replace traditional treatments in several sectors, due to their better performance in targeted and tunable frequency ranges with strongly reduced dimensions.
