Engineering Design: A Materials and Processing ApproachThis popular engineering design text covers the many factors influencing the design process, including technical, social, and economic considerations. Covered in detail is the topic of "materials selection" (the author's forte). This edition includes, material on computer aided design and new problems and exercises throughout. The text is aimed at the senior level course in design offered in both mechanical and materials science engineering departments. |

We note that an important aspect of dimensional analysis is that dimensional
groups are criteria of similarity. In the absence of a theoretical model,
dimensional analysis shows how the variables can be arranged to facilitate the
experimental ...

Similitude and dimensional analysis are necessary requirements for physical
modeling. The use of dimensional analysis provides a way of reducing the
number of variables needed to describe a system. It also allows data from scale
models to ...
