Sommario/riassunto

Welche Voraussetzungen sind nötig um bei thermografischen Untersuchungen aussagekräftige Messergebnisse zu erhalten? Dieser Leitfaden gibt in komprimierter Form die langjährigen Erfahrungen der Autoren weiter, wie sich wärmetechnische Mängel und Bauschäden wie Wärmebrücken, Luftundichtigkeiten oder Durchfeuchtungsschäden mit der zerstörungsfrei und schnell einsetzbaren Mess- und Untersuchungsmethode lokalisieren lassen. Neben einer Einführung in die physikalischen Grundlagen bietet das Buch einen aktuellen Überblick über die Technik, Aufbau, Normen und Auswahlkriterien gängiger Thermografiesysteme. An zahlreichen und prägnant



gewählten Praxisbeispielen zeigt es die vielfältigen Möglichkeiten und Einsatzgebiete der Infrarot-Thermografie ebenso auf wie die Grenzen ihrer Anwendung.

What does it take to obtain significant measurement results in thermographic examinations? These guidelines convey in condensed form the authors' many years of experience in detecting thermal engineering defects and structural damage such as thermal bridges, air leaks or moisture penetration damage with a non-destructive and easily applicable method of measurement and investigation. As well as providing an introduction to the physical fundamentals of thermography, the book offers an up-to-date overview of the technology, structure, standards and selection criteria of common thermographic systems. Using selected examples, it shows the many possibilities and areas of application of infrared thermography as well as the limits of its use.

Sommario/riassunto

This open acccess book provides an overview of issues of scientific responsibility. The volume comprises three types of contributions: first, analyses of the responsibility of science; second, analyses of the structural conditions for science and its responsibility; and third, normative versions of scientific responsibility. The questions and problems dealt with include science as a profession, ambivalence of research and dual-use, innovation vs. precaution, notions of responsibility, the role of science within society and its relation to human rights, as well as scientific and public discourses. The book addresses scholars in the fields of Science Studies and Research Policy.
