Springer International Publishing AG Digital-Twin-Enabled Smart Control Engineering: A
Book SynopsisThis book presents a novel design framework for the development of Digital Twin (DT) models for process- and motion-control applications. It is based on system-data acquisition using cutting-edge computing technologies, modelling of physical-system behavior through detailed simultaneous simulation of different aspects of the system, and optimal dynamic behavior-matching of the process. The design framework is enhanced with real-time data analytics to improve the performance of the DT’s behavior-matching with the real system or physical twin.The methods of creating a DT detailed in Digital-Twin-Enabled Smart Control Engineering make possible the study of a system for real-time controller tuning and fault detection. They also facilitate life-cycle analysis for multiple critical and dangerous conditions that cannot be explored in the corresponding real system or physical twin. The authors show how a DT can be exploited to enable self-optimizing capabilities in feedback control systems.The DT framework and the control-performance assessment, fault diagnosis and prognosis, remaining-useful-life analysis, and self-optimizing control abilities it allows are validated with both process- and motion-control systems and their DTs. Supporting MATLAB-based material for a case study and an expanded introduction to the basic elements of DTs can be accessed on an associated website. This book helps university researchers from many areas of engineering to develop new tools for control design and reliability and life-cycle assessment and helps practicing engineers working with robotic, manufacturing and processing, and mechatronic systems to maintain and develop the mechanical tools they use.Table of ContentsDigital Twin Background.- A Digital Twin Development Framework.- Digital Twin Enabling Capabilities.- Smart Control Engineering Enabled by Digital Twin.- Summary and Future Research Opportunities.

Book SynopsisIn diesem Buch wird das Laser-Pulver-Auftragschweißen betrachtet, ein variabel einsetzbares generatives Fertigungsverfahren, das spezifische Vorteile in den Industriezweigen Beschichten, Reparieren und mittlerweile auch in der additiven Fertigung (3D-Druck) aufweist. Um das vollständige Potenzial als ressourcenschonende Technologie nutzen zu können, sind jedoch noch unterschiedliche Aufgabenstellungen entlang der Prozesskette zu optimieren. In der Anwendung lassen sich starke Abhängigkeiten zwischen der Bauteilgeometrie und dem Prozess beobachten, sodass nach heutigem Stand keine einheitliche Aufbaustrategie für beliebige Bauteile angewendet werden kann. Durch signifikante Unterschiede der thermischen Randbedingungen im Prozess und zwischen den Bauteilgeometrien wird oftmals eine variierende Prozessstabilität und damit auch Bauteilqualität beobachtet. Es ist somit stets eine iterative, meist experimentelle Prozessoptimierung notwendig. Diese erfordert Expertenwissen und geht mit hohen Ressourcenkosten sowie langen Entwicklungszeiten einher. Folglich ist eine breite Industrialisierung dieses Verfahrens speziell für die additive Fertigung nach wie vor eingeschränkt. Um diesem Defizit entgegenzuwirken, wird in dem vorliegenden Buch eine temperaturadaptive Prozessauslegung vorgestellt. Auf Grundlage von empirisch ermittelten Daten und einer thermischen Simulation wird eine automatisierte Generierung einer angepassten Prozessstrategie für beliebige Bauteile ermöglicht.Table of ContentsEinleitung.- Stand der Wissenschaft und Technik.- Zielstellung und methodisches Vorgehen.- Anlagen- und Systemtechnik.- Prozessauslegung mittels Randbedingungsanalyse.- Bedeutung der Ergebnisse für die Praxis.- Zusammenfassung.- Ausblick.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Fault Tolerant Attitude Estimation for Small
Book SynopsisSmall satellites use commercial off-the-shelf sensors and actuators for attitude determination and control (ADC) to reduce the cost. These sensors and actuators are usually not as robust as the available, more expensive, space-proven equipment. As a result, the ADC system of small satellites is more vulnerable to any fault compared to a system for larger competitors. This book aims to present useful solutions for fault tolerance in ADC systems of small satellites. The contents of the book can be divided into two categories: fault tolerant attitude filtering algorithms for small satellites and sensor calibration methods to compensate the sensor errors. MATLAB will be used to demonstrate simulations.

Institute of Physics Publishing Wearable Sensors
Book SynopsisAdvances in sensing technology, microelectronics, telecommunications and miniaturisation have opened up a range of applications and possibilities for wearable sensors. With the ability to monitor a vast range of physiological parameters, combined with wireless technology, wireless sensor networks and the Internet of Things, such sensors are revolutionising the field of digital health monitoring, with huge implications for health management. Applications can be found across the areas of health and safety monitoring, evaluating treatment efficiency, home rehabilitation and the early detection of disorders. In addition to applications in human health monitoring, wearable sensors and systems are being used to monitor the state of our living environment through environmental parameter monitoring and even the quality of our foods and the wellbeing of livestock.Written for scientists, engineers and practitioners working in the areas of sensors and instrumentation by an international collection of authors, this book reviews the fundamentals of wearable sensors, their function, design, fabrication and implementation. Their application and advanced aspects including interface electronics and signal processing for easy interpretation of data, data transmission, data networking, data security, and privacy are also included.
