Modeling and Simulation of Intelligent Transportation Systems
As transport networks become more congested, there is a growing need to adopt policies that manage demand and make full use of existing assets. Advances in information technology are now such that intelligent transportation systems (ITS) offer real potential to meet this challenge by monitoring current conditions, predicting what might happen in the future, and providing the means to manage transport proactively and on an area-wide basis. Modeling and Simulation of Intelligent Transportation Systems provides engineers, professionals, and researchers an intuitive appreciation for ITS theory, related sensor technologies, and other practical applications, including traffic management, safety, design optimization, and sustainability. Provides the theory and practical applications of Intelligent Transport Theory which will be helpful as highway construction recedes as a sustainable long-term solution. Includes several case studies that illustrate the concepts presented throughout.
Data Driven Methods for Civil Structural Health Monitoring and Resilience
Data Driven Methods for Civil Structural Health Monitoring and Resilience: Latest Developments and Applications provides a comprehensive overview of data-driven methods for structural health monitoring (SHM) and resilience of civil engineering structures, mostly based on artificial intelligence or other advanced data science techniques. This allows existing structures to be turned into smart structures, thereby allowing them to provide intelligible information about their state of health and performance on a continuous, relatively real-time basis. Artificial-intelligence-based methodologies are becoming increasingly more attractive for civil engineering and SHM applications; machine learning and deep learning methods can be applied and further developed to transform the available data into valuable information for engineers and decision makers.
Multidisciplinary Approaches in Artificial Intelligence
This book provides theory on the use of artificial intelligence techniques and relevant insight on application development by organizing intelligent systems too be applied in diverse ways for the benefit of humanity. The book appeals to a range of audiences from academicians, practitioners, researchers, and students to stakeholders. It can support graduate students and interns to develop a deep understanding of the latest paradigms in artificial intelligence techniques.
Thermal and Structural Electronic Packaging Analysis for Space and Extreme Environments
Have you ever wondered how NASA designs, builds, and tests spacecrafts and hardware for space? How is it that wildly successful programs such as the Mars Exploration Rovers could produce a rover that lasted over ten times the expected prime mission duration? Or build a spacecraft designed to visit two orbiting destinations and last over 10 years when the fuel ran out? This book was written by NASA/JPL engineers with experience across multiple projects, including the Mars rovers, Mars helicopter, and Dawn ion propulsion spacecraft in addition to many more missions and technology demonstration programs. It provides useful and practical approaches to solving the most complex thermal-structural ...
Reliability and Safety of Cable-Supported Bridges
Bridge design and construction technologies have experienced remarkable developments in recent decades, and numerous long-span bridges have been built or are under construction all over the world. Cable-supported bridges, including cable-stayed bridges and suspension bridges, are the main type of these long-span bridges, and are widely used in highways crossing gorges, rivers, and gulfs, due to their superior structural mechanical properties and beautiful appearance. However, cable-supported bridges suffer from harsh environmental effects and complex loading conditions, such as heavier traffic loads, strong winds, corrosion effects, and other natural disasters. Therefore, the lifetime safety...
OVERCOMING ADDICTIONS
Addictions are invisible prisons that trap the mind and body, creating a cycle of dependency and suffering. This book not only explores chemical and behavioral addictions but also provides practical tools for overcoming them. Through strategies such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness, and self-reflection, it encourages readers to take control of their lives and transform compulsive patterns into conscious and meaningful actions. Delving into how dopamine and neurological mechanisms reinforce these behaviors, it also explains how they can be reversed. With a holistic approach, including family, community, and professional support, each chapter guides the reader toward recovery, addressing topics such as stress, relapses, and social stigma. It’s a call to action to abandon self-judgment, build resilience, and find renewed purpose, breaking free from the chains of addiction.
Reliability-Based Analysis and Design of Structures and Infrastructure
Increasing demand on improving the resiliency of modern structures and infrastructure requires ever more critical and complex designs. Therefore, the need for accurate and efficient approaches to assess uncertainties in loads, geometry, material properties, manufacturing processes, and operational environments has increased significantly. Reliability-based techniques help develop more accurate initial guidance for robust design and help to identify the sources of significant uncertainty in structural systems. Reliability-Based Analysis and Design of Structures and Infrastructure presents an overview of the methods of classical reliability analysis and design most associated with structural r...

Engineering the Circular Economy
Implementing the circular economy necessitates innovative approaches capable of managing the complexity and uncertainty inherent in the shift from linear to circular systems. Fuzzy logic, a computational approach inspired by human reasoning, provides a promising framework for navigating these complexities. With a practical approach, this book offers how fuzzy logic can be utilized to implement the circular economy. Engineering the Circular Economy: Leveraging Fuzzy Logic for Implementation discusses the significance of incorporating fuzzy logic into circular economy strategies. This integration enables the development of adaptive models for resource management, waste reduction, and supply ch...
