    Irreducible Tensorial Sets discusses mathematical methods originating from the theory of coupling and recoupling of angular momenta in atomic physics that constitute an extension of vector and tensor algebra. The book presents a unified treatment with a compact system of notations from different approaches, such as group theory, algebra, and quantum mechanical transformation theory. It discusses irreducible tensorial sets that cover different sets of quantities such as tensor components and states of atomic systems. It also explains quantum mechanical applications, coupling and recoupling of atomic and nuclear states, the Wigner-Eckart theorem, and the products of tensorial sets of operators. The text shows how to calculate the interaction energy between atomic systems couple with one another with a constant total angular momentum. The book also explains the correlations which are functions of the Euler angles between the frame of reference in which a radiation is observed and a frame of reference attached to the orienting radiation or field. It then cites sample problems related to the angular distribution of radiations. The book will prove useful for physicists, for mathematicians, or for readers with some knowledge in theoretical physics, particularly on theory of groups and quantum mechanics.

    • English
    Resilient Cooperative Control and Optimization of Multi-Agent Systems addresses various resilient cooperative control and optimization problems of multi-agent systems that are vulnerable to physical failure and cyber attacks and consist of multiple decision-making agents that interact in a shared environment to achieve common or conflicting goals. Critical infrastructures, such as smart grids, wireless sensor network, multi-robot system, etc., are typical examples of multi-agent systems that consist of the large-scale physical processes which are monitored and controlled over a set of communication networks and computers.

  • Prestressed Members with External Fiber-Reinforced Polymer (FRP) Tendons

    Design, Assessment, and Modeling
    • 1st Edition
    • Tiejiong Lou + 2 more
    • English
    Prestressed Members with External Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) Tendons: Design, Assessment and Modelling provides an overview of using FRPs, including how to predict the short-term and long-term behavior of externally prestressed concrete or steel-concrete composite members, their second-order effects, and how to examine the effectiveness of using FRP tendons instead of steel tendons for external prestressing. As external prestressing is considered to be one of the most powerful techniques in strengthening of existing structures, this book provides a comprehensive resource on the topics covered.The conventional use of prestressing steel is, however, naturally prone to corrosion. The best strategy to solve completely the corrosion problem is the use of nonmetal materials instead of prestressing steel. Fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) composites are ideal materials used for external tendons for their excellent corrosion resistance, high strength and low weight.
