This classic manual on structural steel design provides a major source of reference for structural engineers and fabricators working with the leading construction material. Based fully on the concepts of limit state design, the manual has been revised to take account of the 2000 revisions to BS 5950. It also looks at new developments in structural steel, environmental issues and outlines the main requirements of the Eurocode on structural steel.
A comprehensive introduction to reliability analysis. The first section provides a thorough but elementary prologue to reliability theory. The latter half comprises more advanced analytical tools including Markov processes, renewal theory, life data analysis, accelerated life testing and Bayesian reliability analysis. Features numerous worked examples. Each chapter concludes with a selection of problems plus additional material on applications.
This is a complete update of the author's earlier book, FSM-Based Digital Design using Verilog HDL (Wiley 2008). Whilst the essential foundation content remains, the book has been considerably refreshed to cover the design of Finite State Machines (FSM) in place of Microprocessors, using a novel form of State Machines based on Toggle Flip Flops (TFF) and Data Flip Flops (DFF). It follows a Linear Programmed Learning approach, enabling the reader to learn at their own pace, and to design...

Как получают целыми ядра грецкого ореха для конфет? Как Форд снизил простои конвейера? И еще 140 примеров и 250 иллюстраций.Не поверите, самые остроумные идеи величайших изобретателей – от Леонардо да Винчи до Стива Джобса – основаны на простых приемах. В книге – самые мощные из них:АНАЛОГИЯ – сделаем подобно…ИНВЕРСИЯ – давайте сделаем наоборот…ЭМПАТИЯ – представим себя на месте…ФАНТАЗИЯ – станем волшебниками! И тогда…
The increasing demand for electronic devices for private and industrial purposes lead designers and researchers to explore new electronic devices and circuits that can perform several tasks efficiently with low IC area and low power consumption. In addition, the increasing demand for portable devices intensifies the call from industry to design sensor elements, an efficient storage cell, and large capacity memory elements. Several industry-related issues have also forced a redesign of basic...

The second edition was to be written in order to keep both reader and student current in incident management. This was grounded in the fact that incident management systems are continually developing. These updates are needed to ensure the most recent and relevant information is provided to the reader. While the overall theme of the book will remain the same of the first edition, research and research-based case studies will be used to support the need for utilizing emergency incident management...
