Applied Dimensional Analysis and ModelingLearn the fine art of applied dimensional techniquesanalysis and modeling - to facilitate the design and testing of engineering systems and accelerate the development of products. This is a book that offers a practical, results-oriented approach to methods of dimensional analysis and modeling, emphasizing the interests and problems of the engineer and applied scientist. Packed with illustrations, graphs, numeric tables, and substantive case studies, this in-depth reference puts the vast potential of the "dimensional method" at your disposal. A landmark reference with a broad range of design, testing, and evaluation applications, Applied Dimensional Analysis and Modeling will save you enormous amounts of time, money, and effort in product development testing - and minimize the likelihood of design flaws. |
