Zusatztext Beyond doubt this is an important and meritorious book: Developing and applying new or improving old approaches different from those currently in use in order to better understand! analyze! assess and finally optimize technical systems is of utmost importance for the further development of science and technology! and hence the industry; and this is exactly what Czaplicki aims at.Professor F.L. Wilke! Technical University Berlin! Germany Informationen zum Autor Jacek Czaplicki received his Master of Science in Mine Mechanization from the Silesian University of Technology, Gliwice, Poland. He also obtained a Doctorate degree in Technical Sciences and his Doctor in Science degree in Mining and Geological Engineering with a specialization in Mine Machinery at the same University. He worked for three years at the Kwara State College of Technology, Ilorin, Nigeria on a UNESCO project. A few years later he was appointed to Zambia Consolidated Copper Mines Ltd and worked as a lecturer at the School of Mines at the University of Zambia as part of a World Bank project. He has published more than a hundred and twenty papers. His specialization comprises mine transport, reliability and computation of mine machinery and their systems and reliability of hoist head ropes. He is an internationally recognized specialist in mine mechanization. Klappentext Nowadays! shovel-truck systems are evaluated and analysed by simulation methods. Simulation techniques! although having many merits also possesses some significant disadvantages. Therefore an alternative method for analysis and calculations of this type of machinery systems has been developed and will be of great value. Moreover! the method presented in this book is unique in the sense that it takes into consideration the majority of stochastic phenomena occurring during system operation. Zusammenfassung Presents a comprehensive analysis of the exploitation process of shovel-truck systems using modeling, analysis and calculations. This book discusses the functioning of a truck-repair shop system. It is suitable for mining engineers and civil engineers involved in use and development of shovel-truck systems, technology and planning.
