Integrated Micro-Ring Photonics Principles and Applications as Slow Light Devices Soliton Generation and Optical Transmission

Integrated Micro-Ring Photonics Principles and Applications as Slow Light Devices Soliton Generation and Optical Transmission

Micro-ring resonators (MRRs) are employed to generate signals used for optical communication applications where they can be integrated in a single system. These structures are ideal candidates for very large-scale integrated (VLSI) photonic circuits since they provide a wide range of optical signal processing functions while being ultra-compact. Soliton pulses have sufficient stability for preservation of their shape and velocity. Technological progress in fields such as tunable narrow band laser systems multiple transmission and MRR systems constitute a base for the development of new transmission techniques. Controlling the speed of a light signal has many potential applications in fiber optic communication and quantum computing. The slow light effect has many important applications and is a key technology for all optical networks such as optical signal processing. Generation of slow light in MRRs is based on the nonlinear optical fibers. Slow light can be generated within the micro-ring devices which will be able to be used with the mobile telephone. Therefore the message can be kept encrypted via quantum cryptography. Thus perfect security in a mobile telephone network is plausible. This research study involves both numerical experiments and theoretical work based on MRRs for secured communication. | Integrated Micro-Ring Photonics Principles and Applications as Slow Light Devices Soliton Generation and Optical Transmission

Concrete Structures Subjected to Impact and Blast Loadings and Their Combinations

Concrete Structures Subjected to Impact and Blast Loadings and Their Combinations

Although much research focuses on investigating the responses of reinforced concrete (RC) structures under sole impact or blast loads the responses of RC structures under a combination of impact and blast loads currently represent a gap in our knowledge. The combined actions of impact and blast loadings may be applied to RC structures during accidental or intentional collision of vessels vehicles etc. carrying explosive materials. A comprehensive study on the vulnerability of various structural members is carried out using finite element (FE) simulations under combination of impact and blast loads with the variations of various loading- and structural-related parameters and key parameters. This book introduces various structural analysis approaches for concrete structures when subjected to extreme loads such as impact and blast loadings. The theory of the combinations of impact and blast loads is proposed that can provide primary insights to the specific readers to develop new ideas in impact and blast engineering including combined actions of extreme loads arising from real-world intentional or accidental events. This book will be of value to students (undergraduate or postgraduate) engineers and researchers in structural and civil engineering and specifically those who are studying and investigating the performances of concrete structures under extreme loads. | Concrete Structures Subjected to Impact and Blast Loadings and Their Combinations

Advances in Urban Flood Management

Advances in Urban Flood Management

One of the effects of global climate change is the increasing variability of extreme flood events and cyclones. Current measures to mitigate flood impacts particularly in the urban environment are based on previously-planned flood risk intervals and no longer provide sufficient protection. Being prepared for unexpected changes and extreme flood events asks for a paradigm shift in current strategies to avoid and manage flood disasters. In order to stem the increasing impact of urban floods a major rethink of current planning and flood management policies and practice is required taking into account different spatial and temporal scales. This book addresses a broad spectrum of relevant issues in the emerging field of urban flood management. It may act as a stimulus for further research and development in urban flood management while informing and engaging stakeholders in the promotion of integrated and cooperative approaches in water management. An interdisciplinary approach which will be of interest to all those who are active in water risk and urban management. | Advances in Urban Flood Management
