    Design of Building Facades: A Guide for Architects and Engineers bridges the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical application in building facade design. The book explores both structural engineering principles and building science concepts. With a focus on various facade types—such as curtain walls, sheet metal facades, and skylights—this textbook equips readers with a thorough understanding of the materials and methodologies that define modern architectural aesthetics and functionality. It covers a wide array of topics, including the historical evolution of building facades, the properties and performance of different facade materials, and the rigorous standards that govern their design and construction.Readers will gain insights into the types of glass used in facades, ASTM testing standards for curtain wall systems, and the calculation of loads as per ASCE 7. Additionally, the book addresses key building science aspects such as heat transfer, moisture control, and sound transmission, ensuring that readers are well-versed in both the structural and environmental considerations that impact facade performance. Worked examples throughout the text provide practical applications of these concepts, reinforcing the knowledge necessary for effective facade design.

  • Photonics

    An Electromagnetic Approach
    • 1 Edición
    • Chang-Hee Lee
    • Inglés
    Photonics: An Electromagnetic Approach introduces students to the field by means of a comprehensive integration of diverse explanations within a unified framework rooted in electromagnetic theory. This framework is designed to meet the needs of undergraduate (junior or senior) and graduate students, while also providing researchers with a moderately detailed description. The book strives to cover underlying physical photonics principles rather than focusing on actual devices and systems. It starts with the underlying physics in Maxwell’s equations. Many important features in photonics are covered as solutions of linear Maxwell’s equations, including reflection, refraction, interference, radiation, diffraction, optical waveguide, optical resonator, etc. Ray optics are introduced by considering the dimensionality of the interesting region. Resonant interactions between electromagnetic fields and media, including semiconductors, are explained classically or semi classically. Various dynamic characteristics of a laser are also discussed. Noise mechanisms in the detection and generation processes of optical radiation are also explained in detail. Fundamentals for nonlinear optical phenomena are explained by solving nonlinear wave equations both for elastic and inelastic nonlinearities.

    Spacecraft Electromagnetic Docking and Separation solves problems for spacecraft electromagnetic docking and separation control system using different control methods: instead of the widely used proportional–integra... controller or PID control. The book focuses on presenting a variety of control strategies tailored for spacecraft electromagnetic docking and separation, accompanied by stability proofs that integrate Lyapunov stability theory with sliding mode theory, LMIs-based theorems, model predictive control theories, reinforcement study theories and other frameworks, so the reader can understand how to handle different kinds of disturbances and perturbations in actual orbiting spacecraft. The book also provides a review of magnetic field, magnetic field force model (both the near-field model and the far-field model), useful lemmas and dynamic modelling methods of spacecraft relative motion, which can serve as first stage analysis for further research and are especially important in the initial design phase of a spacecraft electromagnetic docking and separation control system
