Dieses prägnante Lehrbuch führt einen Systemansatz in die Technik ein und beschreibt tribologische, mechatronische und cyber-physikalische Systeme sowie das technologische Konzept der Industrie 4.0 für Studierende verschiedener technischer Fachrichtungen. "Technologie" bezieht sich in diesem Buch auf die Gesamtheit der vom Menschen geschaffenen, nutzenorientierten Produkte, die auf technischen Kombinationen von Material, Energie und Information basieren. Dr. Czichos untersucht Technologie in diesem Band im Kontext des Systemdenkens im Hinblick auf die folgenden Haupttechnologiebereiche:Technische Systeme mit "interagierenden Oberflächen in Relativbewegung", insbesondere im Maschinenbau, in der Produktion und im Transportwesen; einschließlich der Analyse von reibungsbedingten Energieverlusten und verschleißbedingter Materialdissipation. Technische Systeme, die eine Kombination aus Mechanik, Elektronik, Steuerung und Computertechnik für die Bedürfnissevon Industrie und Gesellschaft erfordern. Technische Systeme mit einer Kombination aus Mechatronik und Internetkommunikation. Cyber-physikalische Systeme für die Digitalisierung der Industrie im Entwicklungsprojekt Industrie 4.0. Betrachtet Technik als Kombination aus der physischen Welt und der digitalen virtuellen Welt der Information und Kommunikation. Beschreibt den Produktzyklus von technischen Systemen und die Eckpfeiler der Technik: Material, Energie und Information. Stellt eine ganzheitliche Betrachtung von Technik und Engineering dar.

? This concise textbook introduces a systems approach to technology, describing tribological, mechatronic, cyber-physical systems, and the technologic concept of Industry 4.0 to students in a range of engineering domains. “Technology” in this book refers to the totality of human-made, benefit-oriented products, based on engineered combinations of material, energy and information. Dr. Czichos examines technology in this volume in the context of systems thinking with regard to the following main technology areasTechnical systems with “interacting surfaces in relative motion” especially in mechanical engineering, production, and transport; including the analysis of friction-induced energy losses and wear-induced materials dissipation. Technical systems that require a combination of mechanics, electronics, controls, and computer engineering for needs of industry and society. Technical systems with a combination of mechatronics and internet communication. Cyber-physical Systems for the digitalization of Industry in the development project Industry 4.0. Considers technology as combination of the physical world and the digital virtual world of information and communication. Describes the product cycle of technical systems and the corner stones of technology: material, energy and information. Presents a holistic view of technology and engineering.

This book gives a short presentation of the triad philosophy–physics–technology against the background of the common origin in ancient times. This is the first English edition of this book, previously published in German. The emergence of the book has been described in the foreword of the first German edition. This edition is updated and extended, whereby new physical research results and technological innovations were included: - The physics of space and time after the experimental detection of gravitational waves (Nobel Prize for Physics 2017). - The New International System of Units (SI) for Physics and Technology which is completely based on natural constants and entered into force on World Metrology Day, 20 May 2019. - Actual overview of basic technologies: Material, Energy, Information. - Technologies for the “Digital World” of information and communication. - Mechatronic and Cyber-physical systems for Industry 4.0. The significance of technology for the world in the 21st century is discussed in the final section of the book.

Dieses Lehrbuch beschreibt mit aussagekräftigen Wort-Bild-Graphik-Kombinationen kurz und prägnant die Grundlagen und zeigt aktuelle Anwendungen von mechatronischen Systemen. Erstmalig wird dabei durchgängig eine „ganzheitlich-systemtechnische" Behandlung mechatronischer Systeme vorgenommen. Die neue Auflage wurde durch den Buchteil „Mechatronik und Internet-Kommunikation“ mit den Kapiteln Cyber-physische Systeme und Industrie 4.0 aktualisiert und erweitert.

Dieses Sachbuch stellt in prägnanter Form die Entwicklung und den Wissensstand der drei Gebiete Philosophie, Physik und Technik dar und will zum multidisziplinären Verständnis der Welt beitragen.?

This book presents the principles, methods and techniques to characterize materials and technical systems. The book is organized with concise text-graphics compilations in three parts:The first part describes the fundamentals of measurement, testing and sensor technology, including a survey of sensor types for dimensional metrology, kinematics, dynamics, and temperature. It describes also microsensors and embedded sensors. The second part gives an overview of materials and explains the application of measurement, testing and sensor technology to characterize composition, microstructure, properties and performance of materials as well as deterioration mechanisms and reliability. The third part introduces the general systems theory for the characterization of technical systems, exemplified by mechatronic and tribological systems. It describes technical diagnostics for structural health monitoring and performance control.
