Search: Physics & Energy Technology

What do I find here?

On this page you will find:

  • databases: multidisciplinary or subject-specific databases licensed by the Trier University of Applied Sciences, which offer you full texts, literature references or facts from the fields of physics and energy technology.
  • journals: licensed journals in the fields of physics and energy technology or databases which give you access to such journals.
  • research portals: websites that bundle information resources on physics and energy technology and often enable meta searches via library catalogues, databases and search engines.
  • other: link collections that lead you to e.g. subject-specific search engines, free e-books or information pages.  

Important: In addition to the search tools listed here, there are multidisciplinary search options such as library catalogues, scientific search engines and academic networks.

Metasearch tools can be used to search for subject-specific search tools on your own: → databases, → journals.

  • Contents: Perinorm allows you, among other things

    • full-text search for DIN standards without VDE identification,

    • full-text search for DIN-EN standards,

    • search for the bibliographic data of more than two million national, European and international standards as well as technical regulations (VDI guidelines, ISO standards, etc.).

  • Guidance: Perinorm offers you, among other things, the possibility to search for a standard or guideline with the help of the document number:

    1. Open Perinorm (via campus computer or VPN).
    2. Switch to the English surface (top bar).
    3. Enter the document number, e.g. 748 for DIN 748-1 or 690 for DIN ISO 690. a) Simple search mask: Tick the box "Search in document number only" below the search line. b) Advanced search mask: Select the field "Document identifier+" for entry.
    4. Submit the search via the "Search" button.
    5. You receive a hit list. The current editions of the standards are placed at the top.
    6. If the standard you are looking for is available as full text, you will see a blue bordered document symbol with or without a country flag on the left.
    7. Click on the symbol. The full text is made available.

    Note: Please note that a document number can apply to more than one standard. For example, searching with "748" will lead you to DIN 748-1 (shaft ends) and DIN EN 748 (playing field equipment).
