De mechanica is een van die klassieke onderwerpen, waarmee iedere beoefenaar van de exacte wetenschappen in aanraking komt. In dit boek wordt een inleiding gegeven in dit vakgebied waarbij in elk hoofdstuk een deel van de algemene theorie wordt ontwikkeld. De theorie wordt geïllustreerd door een groot aantal klassieke voorbeelden zoals de planetenbeweging, de mathematische en de cycloïdale slinger, de bolslinger, de slinger van Foucault, wrijving en stootverschijnselen, de tolbeweging.Prof....

Connections

This textbook covers the behaviour of connections in steel structures and the design of mechanical fasteners and welds according to EN 1993 (Eurocode 3).

• Chapter 1 is about the function of connections in a steel structure and describes the different components. It also discusses the most important aspects of design and detailing and the role of the computer in the analysis and design of a steel structure

• Chapter 2 deals with the most widely used mechanical fasteners in ste...

This textbook deals in six chapters with the application and design of composite steel and concrete structures for buildings according to Eurocode 4.

• Chapter 1 gives a general overview of the characteristics, design and construction, and applications of composite beams, floors and columns. Also the advantages and disadvantages of the different structural solutions are discussed.

• Chapters 2 to 5 provide detailed information about the design methods and assessment rules in EN 1994 for ...

'Staal-beton' behandelt in zes hoofdstukken de toepassing en de berekening van staal-beton constructies voor gebouwen volgens Eurocode 4.

• Hoofdstuk 1 geeft een algemeen overzicht van de kenmerken, de ontwerp- en uitvoeringsaspecten en de toepassingsmogelijkheden van staal-beton liggers, staalplaat-betonvloeren en staal-beton kolommen. Aan de hand van vier recente Nederlandse projecten worden de voor- en nadelen van de verschillende constructieve oplossingen besproken.

• Hoofdstukken 2 t...

This textbook covers the introduction to this very interesting field of structural mechanics on a bachelor of science level. Theory and application are directly combined by the use of numerous examples. These will clarify all steps involved and this approach is highly appreciated by students.

Good knowledge of statics and strength of materials is a prerequisite to the use of this textbook since in the examples both topics are frequently used to strengthen the overall knowledge of students an...

Aerodynamics for Engineering Students, Eight Edition provides concise explanations of basic concepts combined with an excellent introduction to aerodynamic theory. This updated edition has been revised with improved pedagogy and reorganized content to facilitate student learning. The book includes new examples in many chapters, expanded use of the "aerodynamics around us" boxes to help put the content into proper context for students, and more coverage and use of computational methods like MA...

Ship Stability for Masters and Mates explores all aspects of ship stability and ship strength, squat, and interaction and trim, as well as materials stresses and forces. Organized into 56 chapters, the book looks at the relationship between ship stability and ship motion, with emphasis on group weights in a ship. It also explains how TPCs are calculated for a range of drafts extending beyond the light and loaded drafts, along with form coefficients, including the coefficient of fineness of th...

Materials Selection in Mechanical Design, Fifth Edition, winner of a 2018 Textbook Excellence Award (Texty), describes the procedures for material selection in mechanical design in order to ensure that the most suitable materials for a given application are identified from the full range of materials and section shapes available. Extensively revised for this fifth edition, the book is recognized as one of the leading materials selection texts, providing a unique and innovative resource for st...

Covering all the fundamental topics in hydraulics and hydrology, this textbook is an accessible, thorough and trusted introduction to the subject. The text builds confidence by encouraging readers to work through examples, try simple experiments and continually test their own understanding as the book progresses. This hands-on approach aims to show students just how interesting hydraulics and hydrology is, as well as providing an invaluable reference resource for practising engineers.

There a...

This fully updated and expanded new edition continues to provide the most readable, concise, and easy-to-follow introduction to thermal physics. While maintaining the style of the original work, the book now covers statistical mechanics and incorporates worked examples systematically throughout the text. It also covers more problems, and incorporates some essential updates, such as discussions on superconductivity, magnetism, Bose-Einstein condensation, and climate change.

Anyone who needs to...
