Unmanned Rotorcraft Systems

By: Guowei Cai,Ben M. Chen,Tong Heng Lee

Unmanned Rotorcraft Systems explores the research and development of fully-functional miniature UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle) rotorcraft, and provides a complete treatment of the design of autonomous miniature rotorcraft UAVs. The unmanned system is an integration of advanced technologies developed in communications, computing, and control areas, and is an excellent testing ground for trialing and implementing modern control techniques. Included are detailed expositions of systematic hardware construction, software systems integration, aerodynamic modeling; and automatic flight control system design. Emphasis is placed on the cooperative control and flight formation of multiple UAVs, vision-based ground target tracking, and landing on moving platforms. Other issues such as the development of GPS-less indoor micro aerial vehicles and vision-based navigation are also discussed in depth: utilizing the vision-based system for accomplishing ground target tracking, attacking and landing, cooperative control and flight formation of multiple unmanned rotorcraft; and future research directions on the related areas.

Discontinuous Deformation Analysis in Rock Mechanics Practice

By: Yossef H. Hatzor,Guowei Ma,Gen-hua Shi

The numerical, discrete element, Discontinuous Deformation Analysis (DDA) method was developed by Dr. Gen-hua Shi while he was working at the University of California, Berkeley, under the supervision of Prof. Richard E. Goodman in the late 1980s. Two-dimensional DDA was published in 1993 and three-dimensional DDA in 2001. Since its publication DDA has been verified, validated and applied in numerous studies worldwide and is now considered a powerful and robust method to address both static and dynamic engineering problems in discontinuous rock masses. In this book Yossef H. Hatzor and Guowei Ma, co-chairs of the International Society for Rock Mechanics (ISRM) Commission on DDA, join Dr. Shi in authoring a monograph that presents the state of the art in DDA research. A comprehensive discussion of DDA development since its publication is provided in Chapter 1, followed by concise reviews of 2D and 3D DDA in chapters 2 and 3. Procedures to select geological and numerical input parameters for DDA are discussed in Chapter 4, and DDA validation and verification is presented in Chapter 5. Applications of DDA in underground and rock slope engineering projects are discussed in chapters 6 and 7. In Chapter 8 the novel contact theory recently developed by Dr. Shi is published in its complete form, for the first time. This book is published within the framework of the ISRM Book Series and is the contribution of the ISRM DDA Commission to the international rock mechanics community.

Operations Management for Environmental Sustainability

Operational Measures, Regulations and Carbon Constrained Decisions

By: Guowei Dou,Lijun Ma,Kun Wei,Qingyu Zhang

This book explores optimal decisions for companies and governments to build a sustainable supply chain and economy by applying analytical models from new perspectives. Taking differentiated carbon permit-buying and -selling prices into consideration, it investigates the optimal emission permit cap under the “cap-and-trade” regulation and discusses how to establish a two-period carbon tax scheme with a two-period planning horizon. Moreover, it examines how to balance the economic and environmental performances in a closed-loop supply chain, how to implement trade-in program when employing green technologies, and how to strategically use the blockchain technology to improve the environmental performance of supply chain under the carbon tax policy. This book is written for students and researchers who are specialized in the field of operations management with a focus on environmental sustainability. It is also beneficial for specialists and executives at companies that are facing carbon emission regulation challenges, as well as government officials who develop the emission control policies.
