Halit Eren Curtin University, Bentley, Australia
Concise and useful to industry and academia, this handbook describes the implementation of instruments and techniques for performing practical measurements in engineering, physics, chemistry, and life sciences. This two-volume Second Edition of the bestseller contains expert contributions, new chapters, and updates to all 194 existing chapters. It addresses different ways of making measurements for given variables and emphasizes intelligent and virtual instruments and techniques, human factors, instrument networks, and modern display methods. This edition explains modern wireless techniques, sensors, measurements, and applications.
The primary purpose of control is to force desired behavior in an unpredictable environment, under often-arbitrary disturbances and initial conditions. Thus tracking and tracking control synthesis are fundamental control issues. Surprisingly, however, tracking theory has not been well developed, and stability theory has dominated. This book presents the fundamentals of tracking theory for control systems. It introduces the full transfer function matrix, which changes the theory of linear dynamical and control systems and enables a novel synthesis of tracking control that works more effectively in real conditions.

All conventional machines rely upon magnetic fields for the purpose of energy conversion. This book approaches the study of electric machines by directly dealing with the electromagnetic fields. Focusing on the terminal rather than on the internal characteristics of machines, the text characterizes the machine in term of coupled magnetic circuits rather than magnetic fields. It provides problem sets and numerical examples, addresses Park’s equations starting from winding functions, describes operation as a LCI motor drive, and presents synchronous machine transient simulation as well as voltage regulation. The author aims to provide a deeper understanding of complex electromechanical drives.
