W. Bolton - Böcker

This text provides a comprehensive introduction to the principles of industrial control and instrumentation. The author not only outlines the basic concepts and terminology of measurement and control systems, he also discusses in detail the elements used to build up such systems. As well as a final consideration of measurement and control systems, each chapter concludes with relevant problems in order that students can test their newly acquired knowledge as they progress. Students studying for BTEC National Certificate and Diploma courses in electrical and electronic, communications and computer engineering will find that their course requirements are more than satisfied by this comprehensive text.

The planning and control of the production process represents a fundamental part of modern manufacturing technology. This book provides an essential introduction to the basic principles involved and is specially written for BTEC HNC/D programmes in mechanical and production engineering. The aim is to give the reader a practical and comprehensive appreciation and understanding of the ways in which manufacturing companies are organised; the nature and diversity of engineering products; the organisation of production and the planning and control of production. Production Planning and Control covers the BTEC units Control of Manu639-5 Manufacture U38/188 and Production Planning and Control U38/189.

This is one of the texts in a series designed to provide engineering students in colleges and universities with a mathematical toolkit. The mathematics is developed and applied in an engineering context with worked examples and problems, all with answers being supplied,

Materials for Engineering provides a straightforward introduction for pre-degree level students and technician engineers. A clear, accessible text is supported by learning summaries, examples and practice questions.This book is designed to help students develop a clear understanding of:* Properties and testing of materials* The relationship of the properties and structure of materials* How properties change with modifications in composition, structure and processing* The selection of materials for a wide range of engineering applicationsThe second edition includes a new chapter on the identification and classification of materials. New and expanded sections include durability, electrical testing, thermal expansion, links between properties and processes, and examples of the selection of materials. A greater range of property data is also included.The coverage of Materials for Engineering has been matched to the requirements of the new specifications for the Advanced GNVQ compulsory unit, and remains the standard text for BTEC National.

Mathematics for Engineering has been carefully designed to provide a maths course for a wide ability range, and does not go beyond the requirements of Advanced GNVQ. It is an ideal text for any pre-degree engineering course where students require revision of the basics and plenty of practice work.Bill Bolton introduces the key concepts through examples set firmly in engineering contexts, which students will find relevant and motivating.The second edition has been carefully matched to the Curriculum 2000 Advanced GNVQ units:Applied Mathematics in Engineering (compulsory unit 5)Further Mathematics for Engineering (Edexcel option unit 13)Further Applied Mathematics for Engineering (AQA / City & Guilds option unit 25)A new introductory section on number and mensuration has been added, as well as a new section on series and some further material on applications of differentiation and definite integration.Bill Bolton is a leading author of college texts in engineering and other technical subjects. As well as being a lecturer for many years, he has also been Head of Research, Development and Monitoring at BTEC and acted as a consultant for the Further Education Unit.

This book is concerned with the principles of differentiation and integration. The principles are then applied to solve engineering problems. A familiarity with basic algebra and a basic knowledge of common functions, such as polynomials, trigonometric, exponential, logarithmic and hyperbolic is assumed but reference material on these is included in an appendix.
