NOISE AND VIBRATION ANALYSIS Complete guide to signal processing and modal analysis theory, with coverage of practical applications and a plethora of learning tools Featuring numerous line diagrams and illustrations, the newly revised and updated Second Edition of Noise and Vibration Analysis is a comprehensive and practical guide that combines both signal processing and modal analysis theory with their practical application in noise and vibration analysis. This new edition has been updated with three new chapters covering experimental modal analysis, operational modal analysis, and practical vibration measurements. Taking a practical learning approach, the text includes exercises that allow the content to be developed in an academic course framework or as supplementary material for private and further study, including multiple choice questions at the end of each chapter. An accompanying website hosts a MATLAB® toolbox, additional problems and examples, and videos. Written by a highly qualified author with significant experience in the field, Noise and Vibration Analysis covers topics such as: Dynamic signals and systems, covering periodic, random, and transient signals, RMS value and power, and the Continuous Fourier Transform Time data analysis, covering the sampling theorem, analog, digital, smoothing, and acoustic octave filters, time data differentiation, and FFT-based processing Statistics and random processes, covering expected value, errors in estimates, and probability distribution in random theory, and tests of normality and stationarity Fundamental mechanics, covering Newton’s laws, alternative quantities for describing motion, frequency response plot formats, and rotating mass Noise and Vibration Analysis is an excellent resource for researchers and engineers from the automotive, aerospace, mechanical, or electronics industries who work with experimental or analytical vibration analysis and/or acoustics. The text is also valuable for graduate students enrolled in vibration analysis, experimental structural dynamics, or applied signal analysis courses.

This book presents a complete overview of the main EEG-based Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) paradigms and the related practical solutions for their design, prototyping, and testing. Readers will explore active, reactive, and passive BCI paradigms, with an emphasis on the operation for developing solutions, addressing the need for customization. Readers will familiarize themselves with the main steps for the realization of low-cost wearable BCIs which include: identification of the most suitable neuro signals for a specific application; definition of the hardware, firmware, and software, with a focus on wearable, non-invasive, and low-cost solutions; development of algorithms for data processing and classification; and, lastly, experimental campaigns for the validation of the prototyped solutions. BCI systems based on electroencephalography (EEG) are investigated and a complete overview of all BCI paradigms is offered. The aim of this book is to drive the reader, from the beginning to the end, along a research-and-development process of a working BCI prototype. This book is a guide for designers, biomedical engineers, students, biotechnologists, and those in the biomedical instrumentation field that would like to conceive, design, prototype, and test an innovative low-cost wearable EEG-based BCI.

This textbook offers a unique compendium of measurement procedures for experimental data acquisition. After introducing readers to the basic theory of uncertainty evaluation in measurements, it shows how to apply it in practice to conduct a range of laboratory experiments with instruments and procedures operating both in the time and frequency domains. Offering extensive practical information and hands-on tips on using oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers and reflectometric instrumentation, the book shows readers how to deal with e.g. filter characterization, operational amplifiers, digital and analogic spectral analysis, and reflectometry-based measurements. For each experiment, it describes the corresponding uncertainty evaluation in detail. Bridging the gap between theory and practice, the book offers a unique, self-contained guide for engineering students and professionals alike. It also provides university teachers and professors with a valuable resource for their laboratory courses on electric and electronic measurements.

The first of two volumes in the Electronic Design Automation for Integrated Circuits Handbook, Second Edition, Electronic Design Automation for IC System Design, Verification, and Testing thoroughly examines system-level design, microarchitectural design, logic verification, and testing. Chapters contributed by leading experts authoritatively discuss processor modeling and design tools, using performance metrics to select microprocessor cores for integrated circuit (IC) designs, design and verification languages, digital simulation, hardware acceleration and emulation, and much more. New to This Edition: Major updates appearing in the initial phases of the design flow, where the level of abstraction keeps rising to support more functionality with lower non-recurring engineering (NRE) costs Significant revisions reflected in the final phases of the design flow, where the complexity due to smaller and smaller geometries is compounded by the slow progress of shorter wavelength lithography New coverage of cutting-edge applications and approaches realized in the decade since publication of the previous edition—these are illustrated by new chapters on high-level synthesis, system-on-chip (SoC) block-based design, and back-annotating system-level models Offering improved depth and modernity, Electronic Design Automation for IC System Design, Verification, and Testing provides a valuable, state-of-the-art reference for electronic design automation (EDA) students, researchers, and professionals.
