This book is a novel tutorial for research-oriented study of vibration mechanics. The book begins with twelve open problems from six case studies of vibration mechanics in order to guide readers in studying the entire book. [...]

This book presents the design of different switching and resonant devices using the present state-of-the-art radio frequency (RF) micromachining (MEMS) technology. Different topologies of MEMS switches have been discussed considering optimum performances over microwave to millimeter wave frequency range. [...]

A basic introduction to the technologies and applications of nanomanipulation in different fields. Designed to help engineers and scientists working in all facets of nanoscience understand and learn to work with the functionalities in other fields..

An accessible guide to one of the most significant subjects in modern science..

Additive manufacturing (AM) or, more commonly, 3D printing is one of the fundamental elements of Industry 4.0. and the fourth industrial revolution. [...]

Transition metal-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions have proved to be powerful tools for carbon-carbon as well as carbon-heteroatom bond formation in the development of synthetic methodologies for applications ranging from pharmaceuticals to materials. This book, consisting of an editorial, two reviews and two articles, focuses on recent promising research and novel trends in the field of cross-coupling reactions, employing a range of different catalysts.

Optimal State Estimation for Process Monitoring, Fault Diagnosis and Control presents various mechanistic model based state estimators and data-driven model based state estimators with a special emphasis on their development and applications to process monitoring, fault diagnosis and control. The design and analysis of different state estimators are highlighted with a number of applications and case studies concerning to various real chemical and biochemical processes. [...]

In many systems consisting of interacting subsystems, the complex interactions between elements can be represented using multilayer networks. However percolation, key to understanding connectivity and robustness, is not trivially generalised to multiple layers. [...]
