From the point of view of a user this book covers all aspects of modern electrical drives. It is aimed at both users, who wish to understand, design, use, and maintain electrical drives, as well as specialists, technicians, engineers, and students, who wish to gain a comprehensive overview of electrical drives.
Jens Weidauer and Richard Messer describe the principles of electrical drives, their design, and application, through to complex automation solutions. In the process, they introduce the entire spectrum of drive solutions available and their main applications. A special aspect is the combination of multiple drives to form a drive system, as well as the integration of drives into automation solutions.
In simple and clear language, and supported with many diagrams, complex relationships are described and presented in an easy-to-understand way. The authors deliberately avoid a comprehensive mathematical treatment of their subject and instead focus on a coherent description of the active principles and relationships. As a result, the reader will be in a position to understand electrical drives as a whole and to solve drive-related problems in everyday professional life.

Dieses Buch behandelt aus Sicht eines Anwenders alle Aspekte der modernen elektrischen Antriebstechnik. Es richtet sich zum einen an Praktiker, die elektrische Antriebe verstehen, auslegen, einsetzen und instand halten wollen, zum anderen an Facharbeiter, Techniker, Ingenieure und Studenten, die sich einen umfassenden A berblick A1/4ber die elektrische Antriebstechnik verschaffen wollen. Jens Weidauer beschreibt die Grundlagen elektrischer Antriebe, ihre Auslegung und Anwendung bis hin zu komplexen AutomatisierungslAsungen. Dabei stellt er das gesamte Spektrum der AntriebslAsungen mit den jeweiligen Einsatzschwerpunkten vor. Ein besonderer Aspekt ist dabei die Kombination mehrerer Antriebe zu Antriebssystemen sowie die Einbindung der Antriebe in AutomatisierungslAsungen. Neue Themen in dieser Auflage sind die Anbindung ans IoT sowie eine Auswahlhilfe zum Ermitteln der optimalen AntriebslAsung. In einfacher und klarer Sprache, unterstA1/4tzt durch viele grafische Darstellungen, werden komplexe ZusammenhAnge erklArt und verstAndlich dargestellt. Der Autor verzichtet bewusst auf umfassende mathematische Betrachtungen, sondern legt den Schwerpunkt auf eine verstAndliche ErlAuterung der Wirkprinzipien und ZusammenhAnge. Damit wird der Leser in die Lage versetzt, elektrische Antriebe in ihrer Gesamtheit zu verstehen und antriebstechnische Probleme im beruflichen Alltag zu lAsen.

Bertolt Brecht continues to be regarded as one of the twentieth century's most controversial and influential writers. His life and work raise important questions about the nature and function of literature and theater, about perception and commitment, about feminist approaches to politics and literature, and about intellectual property rights. The Brecht Yearbook is a venue for discussion about aspects of theater and literature that were of particular interest to Brecht, especially the politics of literature and the politics of theater in a global context. The articles in this volume shed new light on Brecht's concept of alienation, Verfremdung, and his relation to cinema, mass media, and dance. The volume also contains extensive work on his collaborators Helene Weigel and Kathe Reichel.

The Brecht Yearbook is a venue for discussion about aspects of theater and literature that were of particular interest to Brecht, especially the politics of literature and the politics of theater in a global context. The Yearbook, like Brecht himself, is committed to the concept of the use value of literature, theater, and theory. Volume 35 has a special section on questions of Marxism and ethics in the work of Brecht. Other contributions focus on the early years of the author and the theory and practice of staging Brechtian plays. The volume also includes two contemporary texts written in the Brechtian tradition.
