Ermüdungsrisse: Erkennen, sicher beurteilen, vermeiden (German Edition)
Das Fachbuch Ermüdungsrisse beschäftigt sich mit der Auslegung von Bauteilen nach Festigkeitskriterien sowie der Analyse von Schäden durch Risswachstum bei Belastung mit konstanter Amplitude und bei Betriebsbelastung. Die Ermittlung und Darstellung bruchmechanischer Werkstoffkennwerte und -kennfunktionen wird behandelt. Selbsterklärende Abbildungen zu charakteristischen Anwendungsbeispielen aus der Praxis visualisieren überzeugend die dargestellten Sachverhalte.
Electrical Engineer’s Portable Handbook(PDF)
The first edition of this title proved the most successful of the Portable Handbook series launched in 1999. Aimed at electrical engineers and technicians working in building power systems, the relentlessly practical Handbook succeeded as an in the field working tool.

Real-Time Systems: Formal Specification and Automatic Verification(PDF)
Real-time systems need to react to certain input stimuli within given time bounds. For example, an airbag in a car has to unfold within 300 milliseconds in a crash. There are many embedded safety-critical applications and each requires real-time specification techniques. This text introduces three of these techniques, based on logic and automata: duration calculus, [...]
