Construction et usage d'une balance électrique, fondée sur la propriété qu'ont les fils de métal, d'avoir une force de réaction de torsion proportionnelle à l'angle de torsion
(2022-06-24)In a memoir presented to the Academy, in 1784, I have determined from experiments the laws governing the torsional resistance of a filament of metal and I have found that this force is proportional to the angle of torsion, ... -
Delta Design: Seeing/Seeing as

Engineering philosophy
(DUP Satellite; an imprint of Delft University Press, 2003)Engineering and Philosophy seem two worlds apart. But things and ideas are not disjunct in thiw world and their synthesis is certainly essential in engineering design. In this book, the author explores how the concerns of ... -
Ethics and Engineering Education
(2008-02-16)ABET recommends the study of ethics so that students acquire “an understanding of professional and ethical responsibility”. For the most part, teaching of the subject relies upon the use of scenarios - both hypothetical and ... -
From Function to Structure in Engineering Design
(2010-02-23)Peter Kroes et al (The Empirical Turn in the Philosophy of Technology, P. Kroes & A. Meijers, (eds.) JAI, 20009 )frame the challenge of engineering design as bridging the divide between function and structure, as moving ... -
Liberal Studies in Engineering - Workshop Report
(2015-03-12)On the 30th and 31st of January, 2015, some sixty scholars from the humanities, arts and social sciences as well as engineering met at the National Academy of Sciences building in DC to discuss the possibilities for ... -
RECHERCHES THÉORIQUES ET EXPÉRIMENTALES Sur la force de torsion, & sur I'élasticité des fils de métal
(2022-06-24)This Memoir has two objectives: the first, to determine the elastic force of torsion of fil-aments of steel and of brass as a function of their length, their thickness, and their degree of tension. I have already had need, ... -
