    • English
    Fault Diagnosis and Prognosis Techniques for Complex Engineering Systems gives a systematic description of the many facets of envisaging, designing, implementing, and experimentally exploring emerging trends in fault diagnosis and failure prognosis in mechanical, electrical, hydraulic and biomedical systems. The book is devoted to the development of mathematical methodologies for fault diagnosis and isolation, fault tolerant control, and failure prognosis problems of engineering systems. Sections present new techniques in reliability modeling, reliability analysis, reliability design, fault and failure detection, signal processing, and fault tolerant control of engineering systems. Sections focus on the development of mathematical methodologies for diagnosis and prognosis of faults or failures, providing a unified platform for understanding and applicability of advanced diagnosis and prognosis methodologies for improving reliability purposes in both theory and practice, such as vehicles, manufacturing systems, circuits, flights, biomedical systems. This book will be a valuable resource for different groups of readers – mechanical engineers working on vehicle systems, electrical engineers working on rotary machinery systems, control engineers working on fault detection systems, mathematicians and physician working on complex dynamics, and many more.

    Physics-Information and Quantum Analogies for Complex Systems Modeling
    • 1st Edition
    • Miroslav Svitek
    • English
    Information Physics: Physics-Information and Quantum Analogies for Complex Modeling presents a new theory of complex systems that uses analogy across various aspects of physics, including electronics, magnetic circuits and quantum mechanics. The book explains the quantum approach to system theory that can be understood as an extension of classical system models. The main idea is that in many complex systems there are incomplete pieces of overlapping information that must be strung together to find the most consistent model. This incomplete information can be understood as a set of non-exclusive observer results. Because they are non-exclusive, each observer registers different pictures of reality.
