Fuzzy Rule-Based Modeling with Applications to Geophysical, Biological, and Engineering Systems (Systems Engineering Ser.)
by Lucien Duckstein Andras BardossyThis book presents in a systematic and comprehensive manner the modeling of uncertainty, vagueness, or imprecision, alias "fuzziness," in just about any field of science and engineering. It delivers a usable methodology for modeling in the absence of real-time feedback.The book includes a short introduction to fuzzy logic containing basic definitions of fuzzy set theory and fuzzy rule systems. It describes methods for the assessment of rule systems, systems with discrete response sets, for modeling time series, for exact physical systems, examines verification and redundancy issues, and investigates rule response functions.Definitions and propositions, some of which have not been published elsewhere, are provided; numerous examples as well as references to more elaborate case studies are also given. Fuzzy rule-based modeling has the potential to revolutionize fields such as hydrology because it can handle uncertainty in modeling problems too complex to be approached by a stochastic analysis. There is also excellent potential for handling large-scale systems such as regionalization or highly non-linear problems such as unsaturated groundwater pollution.

Fuzzy Spatiotemporal XML Data Management (Studies in Computational Intelligence #1183)
by Luyi Bai Lin ZhuSpatiotemporal data is not always precise, and fuzziness in spatiotemporal data is usually accepted because of the way the world is measured and represented. Although eXtensible Markup Language (XML) recommended by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) has become the de-facto standard for data representation and exchange on the Web, an edited collection of fuzzy spatiotemporal XML data management studies is still scarce. This book studies fuzzy XML approaches for spatiotemporal data management that can greatly enhance the utilization of this sort of data for spatiotemporal applications. The book is anticipated to serve as a valuable resource in this field and is expected to attract considerable interest from researchers and developers engaged in the applications within the domain of spatiotemporal data management.

The authors address adaptive fault compensation problems for T–S fuzzy systems subject to actuator faults. They cover a broad spectrum of related technical topics and to develop a substantial set of adaptive nonlinear system control tools. Fuzzy System Identification and Adaptive Control helps engineers in the mechanical, electrical and aerospace fields, to solve complex control design problems. The book can be used as a reference for researchers and academics in nonlinear, intelligent, adaptive and fault-tolerant control.

Fuzzy-AI Model and Big Data Exploration: A Methodological Philosophy in Solving Problems in Digital Era
by Shaopei LinBased on the idea of a universal rule for problem solving, the book suggests that the “System-Fuzzy Approach (SFA)” Model can be applied to various complex real-world problems. It is the first book for problem solving in complicated problems with a universal project management tool. Systematic searching is an essential step in identifying the right direction in problem solving; and the fuzzy steps in concrete problem solving reflect the flexibility and compromises involved in the process. Nevertheless, the fuzzy steps also demonstrate human beings’ impressively flexible problem-solving skills. Simulating human decision-making processes based on fuzzy information processing is essential in our digital era, in which many problems need to be solved by means of artificial intelligence; hence the Fuzzy-AI Model emerged. As a universal rule and tool, it can be applied to a broad range of real-world problems. Offering a valuable guide to fuzzy decision-making, this book is intended for researchers, scientists and graduate students in the fields of Engineering, Economics, Sociology, Managerial Science, Project Management etc.

Fügetechnologie Kleben: eine Anleitung für den zeitgemässen und sicheren Klebprozess in Industrie und Handwerk
by Jürgen KlingenKleben gehört zu den wärmearmen Fügetechniken und ist in der Lage, praktisch alle technisch nutzbaren Werkstoffe miteinander und untereinander flächig und stoffschlüssig zu verbinden. Die hierbei durch Adhäsion entstehende Verbindung wird sehr schonend aufgebaut, da der Klebvorgang weder großer Hitze (wie beim Schweißen oder Löten), noch strukturschwächende Löcher (wie beim Nieten oder Schrauben) bedarf. Die in der Regel großflächig ausgelegte Klebung sorgt zudem für eine relativ gleichmäßige Spannungsverteilung im Bauteil. In einem klar strukturierten 5-Phasensystem bietet Fügetechnologie Kleben hier eine detaillierte Anleitung für die Schritte, die für den Aufbau eines sicheren und stabilen Klebprozesses zur Herstellung eines qualitativ hochwertigen Bauteils notwendig sind. Berücksichtigt werden dabei unter anderem die Vorbehandlung der zu verklebenden Werkstoff oberflächen, die Auswahl der geeigneten Klebstoffe, die Dimensionierung der Verklebung sowie die Prozessschritte zur Dosierung beziehungsweise Aushärtung der Klebstoffe. Dem Anwender werden so moderne und nachhaltige Materialien sowie klebtechnische Verfahren präsentiert, mit einem besonderen Fokus auf Oberflächenbehandlungsmöglichkeiten, Klebstoffe und Verarbeitungsmethoden relevant für Industrie und Handwerk.
