Multiphysics Modeling describes the basic principles and methods for multiphysics modeling, covering related physics such as structure mechanics, fluid dynamics, heat transfer, electromagnetic field, and noise.

Providing up to date information on basic numerical methods and, critically, the coupling issues specific to each area, the book moves on to consider coupled problems spanning fluid-solid interaction, thermal-stress coupling, fluid-solid-thermal coupling, electromagnetic -solid-thermal-fluid coupling, and structure-noise coupling.

With author team expertise in cutting edge academic research, industrial application and code development, the book covers background theory, algorithms, key technologies and applications for each coupling method as well as exploring real engineering multiphysics problems across areas such as automotive, aerospace and biomedical engineering. "

Multiphysics Modeling "provides a valuable broad-base of methods and techniques for solving multiphysics problems and is an ideal resource for engineers and researchers tasked with the design and analysis of complex engineering systems.
Presents a wealth of multiphysics modeling methods, issues and worked examples in one single volume, providing a go-to resource for coupling and multiphysics problems, not tied to one piece of software.

Covers the multiphysics detail not touched upon in broader numerical methods references, including load transfer between physics, element level strong coupling, interface strong coupling, single code weak coupling, and inter-solver weak coupling methods.

Discusses practical applications throughout and tackles real-life multiphysics problems across areas such as automotive, aerospace and biomedical engineering.

Micro-Doppler Characteristics of Radar Targets is a monograph on radar target's micro-Doppler effect theory and micro-Doppler feature extraction techniques. The micro-Doppler effect is presented from two aspects, including micro-Doppler effect analysis and micro-Doppler feature extraction, with micro-Doppler effects induced by different micro-motional targets in different radar systems analyzed and several methods of micro-Doppler feature extraction and three-dimensional micro-motion feature reconstruction presented. The main contents of this book include micro-Doppler effect in narrowband radar, micro-Doppler effect in wideband radar, micro-Doppler effect in bistatic radar, micro-Doppler feature analysis and extraction, and three-dimensional micro-motion feature reconstruction, etc. This book can be used as a reference for scientific and technical personnel engaged in radar signal processing and automatic target recognition, etc. It is especially suitable for beginners who are interested in research on micro-Doppler effect in radar.

The Measurement of Media Reputation investigates the efficacy of different measurements of media reputation, the overall evaluation of the media coverage of a corporation and a strategic resource used to improve media coverage. Xiaoqun Zhang develops a new composite measure that combines three dimensions of media coverage: visibility, favorability, and recency. Zhang conducts multiple tests comparing the validity of his new composite measure against existing measures of media coverage, arguing that the new measure has both theoretical implications for extending the application of media effects theories to other realms, such as political and business communication, and practical implications as a resource for corporations to achieve competitive advantages.
