Computational Modelling of Intelligent Soft Matter: Shape Memory Polymers and Hydrogels covers the multi-physics response of various smart polymer materials, such as temperature-sensitive shape memory polymers and temperature/light/chemo-sensitive hydrogels. Several thermo-chemo-mechanical constitutive models for these smart polymers are outlined, with their real-world applications highlighted. The numerical counterpart of each introduced constitutive model is also presented, thus empowering readers to solve practical problems requiring thermomechanical responses of these materials as well as design and analyze real-world structures made from them. Smart materials are a type of materials that can respond to their environment and surroundings. In other words, smart materials can be defined as materials that can remember configurations by a proper stimulation. This property of smart materials has attracted a great deal of interest in various applications, such as automotive, aerospace, textile, robotics, and medical industries.

Technology science is the science of creating, inventing, or designing new things in the form of human-made objects, so-called artifacts, commonly referred to as technology. In this book, we refer to natural science, social science, and other kinds of science concerned with understanding the world as it is, including the artifacts that already exist, as explanation science. Technology science often involves explanation science, for example, to better understand the properties of materials needed to build new artifacts. Then the use of explanation science is subordinate to the end goal of inventing an artifact to fulfill some (potential) human needs. Accordingly, explanation science involves technology science to create new specialized instruments, probes, etc. to uncover factual relationships and better understand reality. Machine Learning (or ML for short) is widely used for all kinds of scientific work. Some argue that ML is also changing the way we do research and the scientific method as such.

Because of their novel chemical and physical properties, functional nanomaterials have found increasing industrial applications in nanoelectronics, energy science, and biological applications. Functional Nanomaterials for Sensors surveys advances in functional nanomaterials and their use in sensing. It covers their properties, synthesis, design, fabrication, and their applications, including in chemical, biological, and gas sensing, environmental remediation, fuel cells, catalysis, electronic devices, and biotechnology. Recently, with the improvement of human quality of life, many efforts are being made to live healthy, pleasant, and comfortable lives. Sensors are one of the essential factors for improving the quality of life, and high-performance intelligent sensors are required, so demand for them is expected to increase further in the future. Recently, functional materials that give functions to sensors are becoming more important. In particular, nanofunctional materials existing in various components and forms are attracting more attention because they have unique physical, chemical, mechanical, and optical properties differentiated from existing bulk materials. Recently, research on nanotubes including carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and nanocomposites has been very active to be further developed in existing nanoparticle research and applied as sensors. This book examines the latest nanosensor research and development (R&D) trends such as gas sensors, water quality sensors, biosensors, light sensors, and physical sensors, and it is predicted that high functionality and miniaturization of sensors by nanomaterials will be used as a very important part.

This book covers the digitalization of the grid from a practical point of view and helps you understand the principles used in the development of the standard and its multiple benefits of how they can help in all aspects of the specialists’ everyday work. The book demonstrates that the IEC 61850 standard is a new communications protocol and a completely new engineering environment using named data objects and attributes that support the interoperability between multifunctional devices from different manufacturers integrated in protection automation and control systems. It highlights the contribution of the standard in introducing high speed peer to peer communications that support different substation and wide area protection and automation related applications. You will be introduced to the different parts of the standard and their evolution from a substation centered approach towards its expansion targeting the coverage of the different domains of the Smart Grid. TCP is a connection-oriented protocol that requires establishing a connection before transmitting the data and closing the connection once the transmission is complete.
