Sterkteleer is een standaardwerk op het gebied van de mechanica. Het geeft een duidelijke en grondige introductie in de theorie en de toepassingen van de sterkteleer. Techniekstudenten krijgen inzicht in de materie doordat het fysische gedrag van materialen onder belasting wordt verklaard. Vervolgens wordt dit gedrag gemodelleerd en kan de theorie worden afgeleid. De nadruk ligt hierbij op evenwicht, compatibiliteit van de vervormingen en de eisen die aan het materiaal moeten worden gesteld.

Dit boek gaat over het hoe van projectmanagement en hoe je als projectmanager met een proactieve houding ook in moeilijke situaties regie houdt. Hoe je een beïnvloeder wordt van de weg naar het resultaat, van je omgeving, van je team én van je eigen effectiviteit.

Er wordt steeds meer verwacht van de projectmanager. Uitdagende doelstellingen, hoge druk op kosten en doorlooptijden, verschillende belangen van stakeholders en vele afhankelijkheden tussen deelprojecten zorgen voor een steeds gr...

Location-based Services (LBSs) are mobile services for providing information that has been created, compiled, selected or filtered under consideration of the users' current locations or those of other persons or mobile devices. Typical examples are restaurant finders, buddy trackers, navigation services or applications in the areas of mobile marketing and mobile gaming. The attractiveness of LBSs is due to the fact that users are not required to enter location information manually but are aut...

Applied Statistics and Probability for Engineers provides a practical approach to probability and statistical methods. Students learn how the material will be relevant in their careers by including a rich collection of examples and problem sets that reflect realistic applications and situations. This product focuses on real engineering applications and real engineering solutions while including material on the bootstrap, increased emphasis on the use of p-value, coverage of equivalence testin...

This short guide to modern error analysis is primarily intended to be used in undergraduate laboratories in the physical sciences. No prior knowledge of statistics is assumed. The necessary concepts are introduced where needed and illustrated graphically. The book emphasises the use of computers for error calculations and data fitting.

Practically all modern control systems are based upon microprocessors and complex microcontrollers that yield high performance and functionality. This volume focuses on the design of computer-controlled systems, featuring computational tools that can be applied directly and are explained with simple paper-and-pencil calculations. The use of computational tools is balanced by a strong emphasis on control system principles and ideas. Extensive pedagogical aids include worked examples, MATLAB ma...

A New Edition Featuring Case Studies and Examples of the Fundamentals of Robot Kinematics, Dynamics, and Control In the 2nd Edition of Robot Modeling and Control, students will cover the theoretical fundamentals and the latest technological advances in robot kinematics. With so much advancement in technology, from robotics to motion planning, society can implement more powerful and dynamic algorithms than ever before. This in-depth reference guide educates readers in four distinct parts; the ...

This book is for students following an introductory course in numerical methods, numerical techniques or numerical analysis. It introduces MATLAB as a computing environment for experimenting with numerical methods. It approaches the subject from a pragmatic viewpoint; theory is kept at a minimum commensurate with comprehensive coverage of the subject and it contains abundant worked examples which provide easy understanding through a clear and concise theoretical treatment. This edition places...

The successful design of mechanisms for products, tools and equipment relies on excellent concepts and properly designed details. Both are covered in this book. Many of the examples presented have been realised in practice and properly evaluated, giving the reader/designer a high level of confidence. Every example comes with the considerations underlying the application and the limitations of the particular idea.

This book is based on the work started in the 1960s by W. van der Hoek at Philip...
