Abstract

"This new text covers engineering design methodology with an interdisciplinary approach, concise discussions, and a visual format. Recognizing that design is a process that is most often performed in teams, Jack also covers project management and team dynamic topics where appropriate. The methods in the book are supported with rigor when possible, and are applied to practical situations throughout the book."--Publisher.

Abstract

Designing and constructing load-bearing building elements Columns, walls and floors make up the skeleton of nearly every building. This third volume in the series SCALE, Support | Materialise, takes an in-depth look at these load-bearing structures, covering the development and realization of appropriate constructions from idea and design intention all the way to constructional implementation. Following the traditional building methods of massive, cross-wall, and skeleton construction, it points the way toward a material-appropriate constructional approach to these defining structural elements - columns, walls, and floors. Special attention is given to how constructional and technical considerations can be harmonized with spatial and formal commitments. The load-bearing elements are organized, described, and explored in detail from a material as well as a formal and constructional perspective. Their practical implementation is illustrated by a series of international examples. Tragende Bauteile gestalten und konstruieren Wand, Stütze, Decke und Dach formen das Gerippe nahezu jedes Gebäudes. Der dritte Band der Reihe SCALE, Tragen und Materialisieren, befasst sich dezidiert mit diesen tragenden Strukturen. Von der Idee, der Entwurfsabsicht, bis zur konstruktiven Umsetzung wird die Entwicklung und Realisierung angemessener Konstruktionen begleitet. Das Buch folgt dabei den tradierten Bauweisen Massiv-, Schotten- und Skelettbau und weist den Weg zu einem materialgerechten konstruktiven Umgang mit den gestaltprägenden tragenden Bauteilen Wand, Stütze, Decke und Dach. Ein wichtiges Augenmerk liegt darauf, wie im Gestaltungsprozess konstruktiv-technische Überlegungen mit räumlichen und formalen Bindungen in Einklang gebracht werden. Die tragenden Bauteile werden sowohl nach ihrer Materialität als auch formal und konstruktiv geordnet, beschrieben und detailliert. Eine Reihe internationaler Beispiele erläutert die praktische Umsetzung anschaulich.

Abstract

Design pervades our lives. Everything from drafting a PowerPoint presentation to planning a state-of-the-art bridge embodies this universal human activity. But what makes a great design? In this compelling and wide-ranging look at the essence of invention, distinguished engineer and author Henry Petroski argues that, time and again, we have built success on the back of failure--not through easy imitation of success. Success through Failure shows us that making something better--by carefully anticipating and thus averting failure--is what invention and design are all about. Petroski explores the nature of invention and the character of the inventor through an unprecedented range of both everyday and extraordinary examples--illustrated lectures, child-resistant packaging for drugs, national constitutions, medical devices, the world's tallest skyscrapers, long-span bridges, and more. Stressing throughout that there is no surer road to eventual failure than modeling designs solely on past successes, he sheds new light on spectacular failures, from the destruction of the Tacoma Narrows Bridge in 1940 and the space shuttle disasters of recent decades, to the collapse of the World Trade Center in 2001. Petroski also looks at the prehistoric and ancient roots of many modern designs. The historical record, especially as embodied in failures, reveals patterns of human social behavior that have implications for large structures like bridges and vast organizations like NASA. Success through Failure--which will fascinate anyone intrigued by design, including engineers, architects, and designers themselves--concludes by speculating on when we can expect the next major bridge failure to occur, and the kind of bridge most likely to be involved.

Abstract

Diese didaktisch hervorragend konzipierte Einführung in die Grundlagen der Statik, der Festigkeitslehre sowie der Kinematik und Kinetik bleibt nicht bei der reinen Wissensvermittlung stehen. Seit der ersten Auflage vermittelt das immer wieder aktualisierte und von Studenten und Studentinnen sehr geschätzte Werk ein umfassendes Verständnis der Zusammenhänge und der physikalischen Vorgänge in der Technischen Mechanik. Anhand zahlreicher Problemstellungen im Bereich Maschinenbau wird die jeweilige Bearbeitung und Lösung ausführlich erläutert. Neben der Ermittlung des Ergebnisses legen die Autoren besonderen Wert auf dessen Interpretation und Deutung. Dies ist für den angehenden Ingenieur von besonderer Bedeutung, da er über die "formelmäßige" Statik hinaus ein Gefühl für die Wirkung von Kräften an Bauteilen entwickeln kann. Die dazu erforderliche Übung erhält der Leser durch das Bearbeiten und Lösen von Übungsaufgaben. Eine Vielzahl solcher Aufgaben ist in diesem Buch enthalten und ermöglicht dem Leser, seine Fertigkeiten im Bereich Statik selbstständig zu schulen. Band 2 Festigkeitslehre befasst sich mit den verschiedenen Belastungsfällen wie zum Beispiel Zug, Druck, Abscheren, Biegung, Knickung für Geometrien und Materialien, die typisch sind für die Konstruktionen im Maschinenbau.

Abstract

This book provides the bridge between engineering design and medical device development. There is no single text that addresses the plethora of design issues a medical devices designer meets when developing new products or improving older ones. It addresses medical devices' regulatory (FDA and EU) requirements--some of the most stringent engineering requirements globally. Engineers failing to meet these requirements can cause serious harm to users as well as their products' commercial prospects. This Handbook shows the essential methodologies medical designers must understand to ensure thei

Abstract

Prepared by the Committee on Minimum Design Loads for Buildings and Other Structures of the Codes and Standards Activities Division of the Structural Engineering Institute of ASCE. Minimum Design Loads for Buildings and Other Structures, ASCE/SEI 7-10, provides requirements for general structural design and includes means for determining dead, live, soil, flood, snow, rain, atmospheric ice, earthquake, and wind loads, as well as their combinations, which are suitable for inclusion in building codes and other documents. This Standard, a revision of ASCE/SEI 7-05, offers a complete update and reorganization of the wind load provisions, expanding them from one chapter into six. The Standard contains new ultimate event wind maps with corresponding reductions in load factors, so that the loads are not affected, and updates the seismic loads with new risk-targeted seismic maps. The snow, live, and atmospheric icing provisions are updated as well. In addition, the Standard includes a detailed Commentary with explanatory and supplementary information designed to assist building code committees and regulatory authorities. The third printing of Standard ASCE/SEI 7-10 incorporates errata and includes Supplement 1. In addition, the seismic commentary has been expanded and completely revised. Standard ASCE/SEI 7 is an integral part of building codes in the United States. Many of the load provisions are substantially adopted by reference in the International Building Code and the NFPA 5000 Building Construction and Safety Code. Structural engineers, architects, and those engaged in preparing and administering local building codes will find the structural load requirements essential to their practice.

Abstract

The development of new materials with specific properties is discussed such as metal hydride systems. Other active areas of research include in this volume is the surface engineering to locally enhance properties: electro deposition, electrostatic spray assisted vapor deposition (ESAVD) and aerosol assisted chemical vapor deposition. This includes creating metallic glass coatings with high strength and corrosion resistance, cermet coatings with good wear resistance, as well as functional thin films and Nano composite coatings. The work presented here is characterized by a synthesis of experime
