Robust Statistical Methods


Free Download Robust Statistical Methods by William J. J. Rey
English | PDF | 1978 | 134 Pages | ISBN : 3540090916 | 4.7 MB
During the last nine years, several problems in the statistical processing of biomedical data have been encountered by the author. These problems had in common the fact that most of the usual assumptions were without any solid basis. Poor quality samples drawn from unknown distributions, usually non-normal and frequently non-stationary, were the ordinary lot; nevertheless, sophisticated parameters had to be reliably estimated and the scatter of the estimators was needed to permit comparison of the results. This has been partly solved by application of robust methods.

Numerical Methods for Experimental Mechanics


Free Download Numerical Methods for Experimental Mechanics by Donald Berghaus
English | PDF | 2001 | 301 Pages | ISBN : 0792374037 | 21.3 MB
The purpose of this book is to place a resource in the hands of experimental mechanics researchers to enable them to understand and to obtain a working familiarity with certain of the numerical methods particularly useful to the field. The book is organized to permit readers to study the methods and to observe their application in experimental problems. It is also intended to encourage readers to directly apply the methods to the same problems or to similar problems of their choosing. To this end, computer programs are available electronically, together with data, for easy application. Program listings are given in the appendix. There are four chapters which make up the central coverage of the text. The first of these deals with least-square methods of problem solution, both for curve fitting and for general solution of overdetermined problems. Nonlinear least-squares methods are included. Secondly, splines; specifically smoothed splines, are covered, including specification of boundary conditions for the latter. Use for differentiation is emphasized with attention to control of possible excesses in smoothing. Transform methods are the third major area covered; both the Discrete Fourier Transform and the Fast Fourier Transform. Their combined use is described for appropriate problems. Finally, digital filters are included, principally the Butterworth low pass filter. Coverage also includes different filter orders, high pass filters and the two-pass filter technique. The author has had experience with the four areas covered and with all ofthe example problems described in the text.

Formal Methods in Architecture


Free Download Formal Methods in Architecture: Proceedings of the 6th International Symposium on Formal Methods in Architecture (6FMA), A Coruña 2022 by Plácido Lizancos Mora, David Leite Viana, Franklim Morais, Jorge Vieira Vaz
English | PDF (True)| 2023 | 522 Pages | ISBN : 981992216X | 21.7 MB
This book comprises the select proceedings of the 6th International Symposium on Formal Methods in Architecture (6FMA), A Coruña 2022. The contents focus on the use of methodologies, especially those that have witnessed recent developments stemming from mathematical and computer sciences and are developed in a collaborative way with architecture and related fields. This book constitutes a contribution to the debate and to the introduction of new methodologies and tools in the mentioned fields that derive from the application of formal methods in the creation of new explicit languages for problem-solving in architecture and urbanism. Some of the themes in the book are CAD and BIM, mixed realities, photogrammetry and 3D scan, architectural design automation, urban and building performance analysis, SCAVA-space configuration, accessibility and visibility analysis. This book proves a valuable resource for those in academia and industry.

Computational Methods for Fluid Flow


Free Download Computational Methods for Fluid Flow by Roger Peyret , Thomas D. Taylor
English | PDF | 1983 | 364 Pages | ISBN : 354013851X | 30 MB
In developing this book, we decided to emphasize applications and to provide methods for solving problems. As a result, we limited the mathematical devel opments and we tried as far as possible to get insight into the behavior of numerical methods by considering simple mathematical models. The text contains three sections. The first is intended to give the fundamen tals of most types of numerical approaches employed to solve fluid-mechanics problems. The topics of finite differences, finite elements, and spectral meth ods are included, as well as a number of special techniques. The second section is devoted to the solution of incompressible flows by the various numerical approaches. We have included solutions of laminar and turbulent-flow prob lems using finite difference, finite element, and spectral methods. The third section of the book is concerned with compressible flows. We divided this last section into inviscid and viscous flows and attempted to outline the methods for each area and give examples.

Analytical Methods and Instruments for Micro- and Nanomaterials


Free Download Analytical Methods and Instruments for Micro- and Nanomaterials by Henry H. Radamson , Anders Hallén , Ilya Sychugov , Alexander Azarov
English | PDF EPUB (True) | 2023 | 291 Pages | ISBN : 3031264339 | 65.9 MB
This book describes analytical instruments widely used to characterize the nanostructured materials. It provides information about how to assess material quality, defects, the state of surfaces and interfaces, element distributions, strain, lattice distortion, and electro-optical properties of materials and devices. The information provided by this book can be used as a back-up for material processing, material design and debugging of device performance. The basic principles and methodology of each analysis technique is described in separate chapters, adding historic perspectives and recent developments. The data analysis, from simple to advanced level, is introduced by numerous examples, mostly taken from the authors’ fields of research; semiconductor materials, metals and oxides.
