Dit boek is een kennismaking met de mechanica van bouwwerken, waarbij de mechanica zowel onderdeel is van het constructief ontwerp als van de constructieve berekening.

• Hoofdstuk 1 verklaart vanuit de wetten van Newton ‘het in evenwicht zijn’ van constructies en bespreekt de gebruikte eenheden en de nauwkeurigheid van de constructieve berekening.

• Hoofdstuk 2 behandelt het grafisch en analytisch samenstellen en ontbinden van krachten én het effect van verplaatsen een kracht.

• Ho...

'Knopen' behandelt het berekenen van geboute en gelaste verbindingen in raamwerken en in buisconstructies volgens NEN-EN 1993 (Eurocode 3).

* Hoofdstuk 1 bespreekt de eigenschappen van verbindingen in raamwerken, waarbij de nadruk ligt op ligger/kolom-verbindingen. Aan de orde komen de classificatie van verbindingen, het modelleren van de verbindingseigenschappen (componentenmethode), de weerstand en stijfheid van de verbinding en de eisen aan de rotatiecapaciteit en de stijfheid.

* Hoofdstuk...

As the Maker movement gains momentum, more and more Makers are interested in building robots, 3-D printers, remote-controlled vehicles, and other projects requiring an understanding of electric motors. Motors for Makers is the first easy, friendly guide to electric motors designed specifically for people without formal technical training. Matthew Scarpino introduces motors and their operation without complex theory or math, focusing instead on how to use them, interface them, and control them...
