This comprehensive book brings together the latest developments in reliability and maintainability methods from leading research groups globally. Covering a diverse range of subject areas, from mechanical systems to cyber-physical systems, the book offers both theoretical advancements and practical applications in various industries. With a focus on reliability modelling, reliability analysis, reliability design, maintenance optimization, warranty policy, prognostics and health management, this book appeals to academic and industrial professionals in the field of reliability engineering and beyond. It features real-world case studies from turbofan engines bearings, industrial robots, wireless networks, aircraft actuation systems, and more. This book is ideal for engineers, scientists, and graduate students in reliability, maintainability, design optimization, prognostics and health management, and applied probability and statistics.

The main objectives of the book are to introduce the design method of boundary control strategies for the axially moving structures to reduce their vibration. This book provides the reader with a thorough grounding in the boundary controller design. Our goal is to provide advanced boundary controller design methods and their stability analysis methods and offer simulation examples and MATLAB programs for each boundary control algorithm. For each chapter, several engineering application examples are given and the contents of each chapter in this book are independent, so that readers can just read their own needs. In this book, all the control algorithms and their programs are described separately and classified by the chapter name, which can be run successfully in MATLAB. The book can benefit researchers, engineers, and graduate students in the fields of PDE modeling and boundary vibration control of flexible structures.

Today, 3PLs play a critical role in the supply chains of their customers. It is widely recognized as an extremely important aspect of the overall business strategy. This book, therefore, provides a new metric of success for the logistic marketing between China and South Korea. It comparatively analyses four aspects of logistics services industry between China and South Korea. According to the comparison, the analysis results focus mainly on the drivers, the development characteristics, the constraints and problems, development strategies. Finally, this study identifies the strengths and weaknesses faced by two nations and offer managerial implications for two nations¿logistics services industries in an increasingly competitive environment. This study provides a theoretical foundation for academics and also practical guidelines for logistics services industry. The analysis should help shed some light on this new and exciting logistics environment, and should be especially useful to professionals in Logistics Communications and Marketing fields between China and South Korea.

This book focuses on software fault detection and correction processes, presenting 5 different paired models introduced over the last decade and discussing their applications, in particular to determining software release time.

The fascinating story of Matteo Ricci (1552-1610) changing himself while trying to change the religious faith of the Chinese has been told many times. As a Jesuit, Ricci pushed Christian evangelism by claiming a theistic affinity with Confucianism and by presenting himself as a defender of Confucian orthodoxy from Buddhism.
