PAP. Condition: New. New Book. Shipped from UK. Established seller since 2000.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - A complete, classroom-ready guide to systems engineering from first principles to digital twins and AI-driven automation. Complex systems rarely fail component by component. They fail at the interfaces between components that were each, individually, built correctly. This book teaches the discipline built specifically to catch that kind of failure before it happens.>What's inside: - Sixteen chapters covering the full systems engineering lifecycle, from foundational principles through digital transformation - Dozens of original technical illustrations and diagrams throughout fault trees, SysML models, decision matrices, risk matrices, process flowcharts, and reference charts built specifically to make abstract systems engineering concepts visually concrete rather than left as text alone - Extensive fully-worked examples with step-by-step reasoning, and hundreds of practice problems with worked answers - A running, chapter-by-chapter case study showing how requirements, architecture, risk, and verification decisions actually connect in real practice, not as isolated exercises - Full back matter: glossary, list of symbols and acronyms, subject index, and appendices including a SysML quick reference and a sample SEMP outline Written for upper-level and graduate engineering students, and for practicing engineers moving into a systems engineering role, this book treats the discipline as a coherent, interconnected practice showing not just what each technique is, but why it exists and what specific class of failure it exists to prevent.…

Complex systems rarely fail component by component. They fail at the interfaces between components that were each, individually, built correctly. This book teaches the discipline built specifically to catch that kind of failure before it happens.Across sixteen chapters, Modern Systems Engineering follows a single, continuously-developed case study an EV charging network through the entire systems engineering lifecycle: stakeholder needs and requirements, architecture and trade studies, model-based systems engineering (SysML), verification and validation, risk and reliability engineering, configuration management, human systems integration, digital twins, and the emerging role of AI and automation in the discipline.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. A ship's electrical plant cannot call on a neighboring utility when something fails. Its own generation, distribution, and protection must carry the full load and restore itself, often in the middle of the night, mid-passage, with a watch officer waiting for an answer. Marine engineering training covers the theory of shipboard power systems thoroughly, but it teaches far less consistently the disciplined, repeatable process of actually finding a fault once something has gone wrong leaving engineers and electro-technical officers to guess at causes or work through unfamiliar equipment under pressure, without a clear path from symptom to confirmed cause.This handbook was built to close that gap. It works through a vessel's electrical plant system by system, exactly as the plant is actually built, explaining how each system is meant to behave, its most common failure modes, how to isolate and test it safely, and how to reason from symptom to cause without guessing.Inside, readers will: Learn a consistent, repeatable diagnostic method that applies across every major shipboard electrical system.Build a clear picture of normal operating behavior for generators, switchboards, distribution networks, motors, drives, protection relays, batteries, and automation, so that a fault becomes visible against that baseline.Work through fully reasoned diagnostic examples that show the complete chain of reasoning from symptom to confirmed cause.Practice independently with structured problems and a boxed answer key that separates the answer from the explanation.Apply cross-system decision trees and case studies for faults that do not respect chapter boundaries.Build isolation, verification, and permit-to-work discipline directly into the diagnostic method itself, rather than treating safety as a separate topic. Coverage spans generator excitation, AVR operation, and paralleling; main and emergency switchboard architecture; AC and DC distribution and protection coordination; transformers, rectifiers, and motor starting methods; variable-frequency drives and fault codes; insulation resistance and earth-fault testing; batteries, chargers, and UPS systems; sensors, instrumentation, and control circuits; alarm, monitoring, and automation architecture; and blackout recovery and emergency power restoration.This handbook is written for marine engineers, electro-technical officers, engineering cadets and students, and vessel crew responsible for electrical systems, who already hold a foundation in electrical theory and want to apply it with the speed, discipline, and confidence that shipboard fault-finding demands.Stop reconstructing a diagnostic method under pressure every time something fails. Add this handbook to the engine room library and start building a repeatable, system-by-system approach to shipboard electrical fault-finding, from the first isolation check to the final restored load.
