Название: The Engineering Leader: Strategies for Scaling Teams and Yourself Автор: Саtе Нustоn Издательство: O’Reilly Media, Inc. Год: 2024 Страниц: 300 Язык: английский Формат: pdf, epub (true), mobi Размер: 10.1 MB Great engineers don't necessarily make great leaders--at least, not without a lot of work. Finding your path to becoming a strong leader is often fraught with challenges. It's not easy to figure out how to be successful, empathetic, and caring yet tough. Whether you're on the management or individual contributor track, you need to develop strong leadership skills. This book guides you on the path to becoming a well-rounded and resilient engineering leader. The first half focuses on you, and how you can develop the self-management skills needed to survive and thrive in a leadership role. The second half focuses on teams, including the necessary components of team functioning that will empower and support your teams and the individuals within them. You'll learn how to create and balance both individual and team growth. This book is for two main types of people. It’s for leaders—folks who manage engineering teams. It’s also for individual contributors (ICs)—the folks who do the day-to-day work of writing code, shipping products, and so on. Whether you’re in a leadership role or an IC role, whichever way you slice it, you’re still the manager of yourself. The guidance in this book is written to help you navigate your career, your organization, your team—and to make the best of what you have around you, whatever that is, in the different forms it comes in.
Название: Robust Sliding Mode Protocols for Formation of Quadcopter Swarm Автор: Ахауkumаr Меhtа, Аkаsh Моdi Издательство: Springer Год: 2024 Страниц: 165 Язык: английский Формат: pdf (true), epub Размер: 31.2 MB This book presents several robust sliding mode protocols for achieving the formation and tracking of Quadcopter swarm for a given pattern. In entire book, the concept of leader-follower formation control of a multi-agent system is exploited for deriving the protocols and the graph theory is used to represent the communication between the Quadcopters. The book covers two types of formation protocols of the Quadcopter swarm namely, continuous-time sliding mode protocols and discrete-time sliding mode protocols. First, the continuous-time higher order sliding mode protocols using super-twisting algorithm are designed for formation using linear and non-linear models of Quadcopter. Then, the discrete-time sliding mode protocols using power rate reaching law, discrete-time super twisting algorithm, and exponential reaching law are presented. The protocols are thoroughly analysed for robustness, chattering, control effort, and convergence time for achieving the formation. Also, the stability conditions using the Lyapunov function are derived to ensure the stability of the swarm with each protocol. Further, each chapter includes extensive simulation and comparative studies to show the efficacy of each protocol. The book will be useful to graduate students, research scholars, and professionals working in the domain of civilian and military usage of the drone technology.
Название: Computational Methods in Engineering: Finite Difference, Finite Volume, Finite Element, and Dual Mesh Control Domain Methods Автор: J.N. Rеddу Издательство: CRC Press Год: 2024 Страниц: 595 Язык: английский Формат: pdf (true) Размер: 21.7 MB Computational Methods in Engineering: Finite Difference, Finite Volume, Finite Element, and Dual Mesh Control Domain Methods provides readers with the information necessary to choose appropriate numerical methods to solve a variety of engineering problems. Explaining common numerical methods in an accessible yet rigorous manner, the book details the finite element method (FEM), finite volume method (FVM) and importantly, a new numerical approach, dual mesh control domain method (DMCDM). Numerical methods are crucial to everyday engineering. The book begins by introducing the various methods and their applications, with example problems from a range of engineering disciplines including heat transfer, solid and structural mechanics, and fluid mechanics. It highlights the strengths of FEM, with its systematic procedure and modular steps, and then goes on to explain the uses of FVM. It explains how DMCDM embodies useful parts of both FEM and FVM, particularly in its use of the control domain method and how it can provide a comprehensive computational approach. The final chapters look at ways to use different numerical methods, primarily FEM and DMCDM, to solve typical problems of bending of beams, axisymmetric circular plates, and other nonlinear problems.

The main objective of this book is to provide researchers, scientists, business professionals, and academics insight into original theories and research findings on the use of human cognitive models in diverse real-world computing applications. Through this book, the authors built an interdisciplinary forum where researchers from many fields may share their work and explore how to engineer human brain processes, learning mechanisms, and decision-making processes. At the forefront of this technological revolution is the field of Computer Science, where Artificial Intelligence (AI) has emerged as a game-changer. This book emphasizes the paramount importance of AI in Computer Science, shedding light on how it has redefined the way we approach and solve complex problems. From Machine Learning algorithms to natural language processing (NLP), AI has become the cornerstone of modern Computer Science, making tasks more efficient, decisions more informed, and solutions more ingenious.
Название: Tobias on Locks and Insecurity Engineering Автор: Маrс Wеbеr Тоbiаs, J.D. Издательство: Wiley Год: 2024 Страниц: 722 Язык: английский Формат: pdf (true) Размер: 23.5 MB What Does This Book Cover? In the simplest of terms, this book is about what makes a lock or associated hardware “secure” and what can go wrong in the design. In more than one case, the result was the expenditure of millions of dollars on the research and development (R&D) of a high-security lock that was defeated in a few seconds by an 11-year-old kid with virtually no expertise. In my experience consulting for most of the world’s largest lock manufacturers, lock designs fail because of a lack of imagination on the part of everyone involved in the process. This lack of imagination has had significant and costly ramifications in terms of security failures, legal damages, an inability to meet state and federal standards, and a loss of credibility among customers. Ultimately, it puts consumers at risk, and they usually don’t know it. The results are from what I call insecurity engineering, which is the inability to design secure locks because of many factors in the education and training of engineers. That is what this book is about.
