Cover of Fluid Mechanics
by Jean-Laurent Puebe
Language: English
Release Date: March 1, 2013

This book examines the phenomena of fluid flow and transfer as governed by mechanics and thermodynamics. Part 1 concentrates on equations coming from balance laws and also discusses transportation phenomena and propagation of shock waves. Part 2 explains the basic methods of metrology, signal processing, and system modeling, using a selection of examples of fluid and thermal mechanics.
Cover of Method of Dimensionality Reduction in Contact Mechanics and Friction
by Markus Heß, Valentin L. Popov
Language: English
Release Date: August 19, 2014

This book describes for the first time a simulation method for the fast calculation of contact properties and friction between rough surfaces in a complete form. In contrast to existing simulation methods, the method of dimensionality reduction (MDR) is based on the exact mapping of various types...
