A systematic introduction to the theories and formulations of the explicit finite element methodAs numerical technology continues to grow and evolve with industrial applications, understanding the explicit finite element method has become increasingly important, particularly in the areas of crashworthiness, metal forming, and impact engineering. Introduction to the Explicit Finite Element Method for Nonlinear Transient Dynamics is the first book t...

This book delves into the cutting-edge field of person re-identification (ReID), a critical area within deep learning and computer vision. Addressing key challenges in current ReID models, it presents novel research combining automated machine learning (AutoML) techniques across three core aspects: data augmentation, network architecture, and loss functions.Readers will discover five innovative methods designed to overcome specific limitations in existing ReID systems. These includ...
