Applied Dimensional Analysis and Modeling |
| By Szirtes, Thomas | |
|
Learn to apply the "dimensional method" to facilitate the design and testing of engineering and physical systemsÑand greatly accelerate the development of products. This is the first book to offer a practical approach to modeling and dimensional analysis, emphasizing the interests and problems of the engineer and applied scientist. Packed with illustrations, graphs, numeric tables, and concrete case studies, this in-depth reference work explains both dimensional analysis and scale modeling...concisely describes constructions of dimensional systems, including SI (metric) and Imperial (U.S.)...and provides over 250 worked-out examples drawn from engineering, applied physics, biomechanics, astronomy, geometry, and economics .
