Risk-Taking, Prevention and Design - A Cross-Fertilization Approach (Paperback): Guy Andre Boy, Edwige Quillerou Risk-Taking, Prevention and Design - A Cross-Fertilization Approach (Paperback)
Guy Andre Boy, Edwige Quillerou
R2,569 Discovery Miles 25 690 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Most approaches that contribute to the design of life-critical systems almost only consider nominal situations where procedures can be developed and used to achieve satisfactory operations. These kinds of approaches lead to rigid ways of doing things and poorly address the needs for flexibility, especially when things go wrong. It is not a matter of human adaptation but of human systems integration (HSI) flexibility. HSI flexibility requires cross-fertilization of appropriate experiences combined with creativity. This book provides risk-management approaches and methods for combining prevention and design. Features: Discusses risk-management approaches and methods for combining prevention and design Examines a transdisciplinary approach to risk management in design and operations of safer life-critical systems Proposes an approach of work analysis during design, which enables design teams to consider HSI issues early enough to fix organizational problems upstream Teaches the combination of prevention and design for safety management This book gathers and analyzes relevant field data to rationalize human and systems activity in various life-critical environments and workplaces, in a systemic manner, and in a variety of safety domains (e.g., aviation, road, navy, manufacturing, hospital, transportation, defense, sport). It further formalizes and analyzes risk-taking experience, expertise, stories about critical events, and scientific and professional literature data to help engineering designers, managers, and health and safety specialists. The text is primarily written for graduate students and professionals working in the fields of occupational health and safety, ergonomics, human factors, cognitive engineering, and human-system integration.

Seine ausgepragte Wirtschaftlichkeit und Zuverlassigkeit machen den Dieselmotor zum bevorzugten Antriebskonzept fur Nutzfahrzeuge. Dabei zieht sich der Name Bosch wie ein roter Faden durch die gesamte Entwicklungsgeschichte des Dieselmotors: Bereits in den ersten serienreifen Dieselfahrzeugen sorgten Reihenpumpen von Bosch fur eine zuverlassige Einspritzung. Im folgenden Beitrag wird die Funktionsweise der verschiedenen Diesel-Einspritzsysteme von Bosch beschrieben sowie deren Potenzial, die in Zukunft immer strenger werdenden Anforderungen in Bezug auf Abgasemissionen, Wirt- schaftlichkeit und Fahrverhalten zu erfullen. Entwicklungen in der Dieseleinspritztechnik Rudolf Diesel liess sich den Prozess einer selbstzundenden Verbrennung bereits vor mehr als 100 jahren patentieren. Ende 1922 begann bei Bosch die Entwicklung eines Einspritzsystems fur Dieselmotoren. Die technischen Voraussetzungen waren gunstig: Bosch verfugte uber Erfahrungen mit Verbrennungsmotoren, die Ferti- gungstechnik war hoch entwickelt und vor allem konnten Kenntnisse, die man bei der Fertigung von Schmierpumpen gesammelt hatte, eingesetzt werden. Dennoch war dies fur Bosch ein grosses Wagnis, da es viele Aufgaben zu loesen gab.

This thesis offers new insights into the fluid flow behavior of automotive centrifugal compressors operating under near-stall conditions. Firstly it discusses the validation of three-dimensional computational fluid dynamics (CFD) unsteady simulations against acoustic experimental measurements using an original procedure based on plane wave pressure decomposition. It then examines the configuration of the CFD cases, highlighting the key parameters needed for a successful calculation. Moreover, it describes both the compressor mean and unsteady flow field from best-efficiency to near-surge operating points. Lastly, it provides readers with explanations of the various phenomena that arise when the mass flow rate is reduced and the compressor is driven to poor and noisy performance. Written for students, researchers and professionals who want to improve their understanding of the complex fluid flow behavior in centrifugal compressors, the thesis offers valuable practical insights into reducing the acoustic emissions of turbochargers.

Thanks to advances in computer technology in the last twenty years, navigation system, cabin environment control, ACC, advanced driver assistance system (ADAS) and automated driving have become a part of the automobile experience. Improvement in technology enables us to design these with greater flexibility and provide greater value to the driver (human centered design). To achieve this, research is required by laboratories, automobile and auto parts manufacturers. Although there has been a lot of effort in human factors research and development, starting from basic research to product development, the knowledge and experience has not been integrated optimally. The aim of this book is to collect and review the information for researchers, designers and developers to learn and apply them for further research and development of human centered design of future automotive technologies. Automotive human factors include psychological, physiological, mathematical, engineering and even sociological aspects. This book offers valuable insights to applying the right approach in the right place.

Der Verkehr spielt in unserer industrialisierten Gesellschaft zweifellos eine wichtige Rolle. Wir verdanken ihm nicht nur unsere Bewegungsfreiheit, son- dern auch unseren Wohlstand. Seit einigen Jahren werden jedoch die Grenzen der Mobilitat angesichts kilometerlanger Staus und zunehmender Umwelt- probleme uniibersehbar. Daher blieb das Thema "Verkehr" nicht mehr eini- gen Verkehrsingenieuren vorbehalten, sondern es wurde zum gesellschaftlich relevanten Politikum und erlangte eine breite offentliche Aufmerksamkeit. Mittlerweile befassen sich mit ihm, auBer renommierten Fachzeitschriften, Massenmedien aller Art. Gleichzeitig hat das internationale Interesse an der Erforschung des Ver- kehrs enorm zugenommen. Besonders unter Physikern ist in jiingster Zeit ein starkes Engagement zu verzeichnen, was zu einer rasanten wissenschaftlichen Entwicklung und einer wahren Veroffentlichungsfiut gefiihrt hat.! Dafiir gibt es folgende Griinde: - Einerseits besteht ein dringender Bedarf an Methoden zur Optimierung des Verkehrsfiusses, urn die bestehende Infrastruktur effizienter nutzen zu konnen. Entsprechende Forschungsprojekte werden staatlich gefordert. - Andererseits verspricht man sich durch den Verkauf intelligenter Verkehrs- leitsysteme europaweit einen jahrlichen Umsatz von 200 Milliarden DM [434]. Das Engagement der Industrie ist folglich ausgesprochen groB. - AuBerdem ermoglichen moderne Computer mittlerweile umfangreiche Ver- kehrssimulationen, so daB eine Berechnung der Verkehrsstrome schneller als in Echtzeit in greifbare Nahe riickt, selbst fiir das Autobahnnetz der gesamten Bundesrepublik [35]. - SchlieBlich wirft die Verkehrsdynamik eine Vielzahl spannender Fragen auf, deren exakte wissenschaftliche Behandlung auBerst knifHig und eine Her- ausforderung an sich ist.
