An Introduction to Uncertainty in Measurement Using GUM (Guide to the Expression of Uncertainty in Measurements)
Author: L. Kirkup, R. B. Frenkel | Size: 1.7 MB | Format:PDF | Publisher: Cambridge University Press | Year: 2006 | pages: 249 | ISBN: 9780511190957; 0511190956; 9780521844284; 0521844282; 9780521605793; 0521605792
Measurement shapes scientific theories, characterises improvements in manufacturing processes and promotes efficient commerce. Inherent in measurement is uncertainty, and students in science and engineering need to identify and quantify uncertainties in the measurements they make. This book introduces measurement and uncertainty to second- and third-year students of science and engineering. Its approach relies on the internationally recognised and recommended guidelines for calculating and expressing uncertainty (known by the acronym GUM). The statistics underpinning the methods are considered and worked examples and exercises are spread throughout the text. Detailed case studies based on typical undergraduate experiments are included to reinforce the principles described in the book. This book is also useful to professionals in industry who are expected to know the contemporary methods in this increasingly important area.

Title: Nonlinear dynamic analysis of frames with plastic hinges at arbitrary locations Authors: Z. H. Yan and F. T. K. Au DOI: 10.1002/tal.513 Volume: 19 Issue: 7 Pages: 778–801 Month and Year: November 2010
This European Standard specifies safety requirements for the following non-fixed load lifting attachments for cranes, hoists and manually controlled load manipulating devices:
This standard does not specify the additional requirements for:
- non fixed load lifting attachments in direct contact with foodstuffs or pharmaceuticals requiring a high level of cleanliness for hygiene reasons;
- hazards resulting from handling specific hazardous materials (e.g. explosives, hot molten masses, radiating materials);
- hazards caused by operation in an explosive atmosphere;
- hazards caused by noise;
- electrical hazards;
- hazards due to hydraulic and pneumatic components.
This standard does not cover the hazards related to mechanical strength of structural elements of attachments designed for more than 20 000 lifting cycles.
NOTE The coefficient of utilization specified in clause 5.1.1 ensures that no fatigue verification is needed for less than 20 000 cycles. This is in accordance with the well accepted calculation codes e.g. FEM 1001.
This standard does not cover attachments intended to lift above people.
This standard does not cover slings, ladles, expanding mandrels, buckets, grabs, or grab buckets.
The hazards covered by this European Standard are identified in clause 4.
This European Standard does not cover hazards related to the lifting of persons.
This European Standard is applicable to non-fixed load lifting attachments which are manufactured after the date of approval by CEN of this standard.

This European Standard specifies the requirements, test methods and marking applicable to underground fire hydrants intended for fire fighting purposes:
to be installed in a water distribution system;
in sizes DN 80 and DN 100;
suitable for an allowable operating pressure, PFA, of 10 bar or 16 bar or 25 bar with or without drain facility;
having a vertical or horizontal, flanged, socket or spigot inlet;
with one or two outlets and having outlet/s to national requirements;
of globe (screw down) or gate valve type.
This European Standard also provides for the evaluation of conformity of the underground fire hydrants to the requirements of this European Standard.
This European Standard applies to fire hydrants for potable and non-potable water and for filtered water. Additional requirements may apply for other liquids.
Couplings connected to outlets are outside the scope of this European Standard and should conform to national requirements.

ABOUT THIS BOOK
This book addresses current activities in strong-motion networks around the globe, covering issues related to designing, maintaining and disseminating information from these arrays. The book is divided into three principal sections. The first section includes recent developments in regional and global ground-motion predictive models.
It presents discussions on the similarities and differences of ground motion estimations from these models and their application to design spectra as well as other novel procedures for predicting engineering parameters in seismic regions with sparse data. The second section introduces topics about the particular methodologies being implemented in the recently established global and regional strong-motion databanks in Europe to maintain and disseminate the archived accelerometric data. The final section describes major strong-motion arrays around the world and their historical developments. The last three chapters of this section introduce projects carried out within the context of arrays deployed for seismic risk studies in metropolitan areas.
Audience: This timely book will be of particular interest for researchers who use accelerometric data extensively to conduct studies in earthquake engineering and engineering seismology.
