PC'S INDUSTRIAL RESEARCH, QUALITY CONTROL AND EDUCATION

Abstract

Some examples of computer applications in the fields of building materials research, quality control, tertiary technical education and post-graduate computer training are intro- duced. 1. Routines computing the statistical parameters of probabilistic variables. 2. Fitting distribution functions on oblique distributed samples. 3. The development of experimental quality functions from organised samples. 4. Factor analysis of the full experiment. 5. Using the spline-technique for describing the behaviour of materials. 6. Building ~Iaterials - Data Bank. 7. The reviewing of quality control systems using the Monte Carlo method. 8. Computer assisted industrial quality control systems. 9. The help for tertiary technical education using advanced graphics programs. 10. Post-graduate computer training. These examples are connected to the building material industry but methods are appli- cable in other technical fields also.
