The modern software for Finite Element Method calculations is a powerful tool when making strength and stiffness calculations. However, this is only the case when FEM is applied correctly. This work contains all the information necessary for a thorough understanding of the FEM and its correct application:

- how are structures to be modelled into building blocks that can be used for calculations in an FEM program?

- how are FEM programs organised internally?

This book, Finite element method pa...

Statistics for the Life Sciences presents the key concepts of statistics as applied to the life sciences, while incorporating tools and themes of modern data analysis. The book emphasizes interpretation of results using real data, which facilitates an understanding of statistics and data through the use of graphical data and analysis. The Third Edition has added many new sections to cover probability rules, random variables, the Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test, and two-way ANOVA and ANOVA for rando...

For courses in chemistry. Nivaldo Tro's Chemistry: A Molecular Approach presents chemistry visually through multi-level images-macroscopic, molecular, and symbolic representations ? to help students see the connections between the world they see around them, the atoms and molecules that compose the world, and the formulas they write down on paper. Interactive, digital versions of selected worked examples instruct students how to break down problems using Tro's unique "Sort, Strategise, Solve,...

For the calculus-based General Physics course primarily taken by engineers and science majors (including physics majors). This long-awaited and extensive revision maintains Giancoli's reputation for creating carefully crafted, highly accurate and precise physics texts. Physics for Scientists and Engineers combines outstanding pedagogy with a clear and direct narrative and applications that draw the student into the physics.

The new edition also features an unrivaled suite of media and on-line...

- Leert technische studenten op een praktische wijze (zelfstandig) beroepsproducten te schrijven

Gedrag in organisaties biedt een complete maar compacte inleiding in de studie van gedrag van mensen in organisaties. De belangrijkste aspecten van gedrag in organisaties worden op overzichtelijke wijze in drie delen gepresenteerd: het individu in de organisatie, groepen in organisaties en het systeem van de organisatie.

Het boek is uniek door de verschillende perspectieven op gedrag in organisaties, de diepgaande informatie over persoonlijkheid, normen, emoties en stemmingen, en doordat er e...

Management en Organisatie is het meest praktische handboek over het vakgebied organisatiekunde. De auteurs presenteren de theorie op een aantrekkelijke, actuele en begrijpelijke wijze. Elk hoofdstuk bevat talrijke praktijkcases ter illustratie van de theorie en die worden gecombineerd met vele oefen - vragen. De indeling van dit boek volgt een model met de onderling samenhangende deelgebieden van het organiseren: strategie, management, structuur, cultuur, processen en medewerkers. Er is ook a...

This handbook aims at students at high schools, tertiary technical and scientific institutes, to help them in their written and oral communication on Life Science topics. When conducting research work in life sciences, communication plays an important role (such as meetings, gatherings, reporting on experiments, telephoning, writing plan of approaches, reports, letters and emails). This book provides a number of guidelines.

Practical skills form the cornerstone of chemistry. However, the diversity of skills required in the laboratory means that a student's experience may be limited. While some techniques do require specific skills, many of them are transferable generic skills that are required throughout the subject area.

Limited time constraints of the modern curriculum often preclude or minimise laboratory time. Practical Skills in Chemistry 3rd edition provides a general guidance for use in and out of practic...

Industrial Production offers a broad and thorough introduction to the multidisciplinary field of production engineering, with a focus on the production of mechanical products. The book covers design and machining processes, as well as topics such as materials behaviour, manufacturing, assembly and manufacturing machines. It also looks at quality, costs, important aspects of product and production development (including design for production) as well as technical and organisational management.
