Cover of Analysis and Simulation of Multiport Systems, The Bond Graph Approach to Physical System Dynamics
Analysis and Simulation of Multiport Systems, The Bond Graph Approach to Physical System Dynamics

by Dean C. Karnopp and Ronald C. Rosenberg

The book is concerned exclusively with concepts and techniques arising in connection with the bond graph as a means of systemizing the process of system analysis. The chapters on digital simulation are entirely new, and many techniques are presented for working with bond graph formulations in an analytical manner. The methods have been developed by researchers—including the authors—interested in system dynamics over several years and are only partly available in the open literature.

Navier-Stokes Turbulence

by Wolfgang Kollmann

The book serves as a core text for graduate courses in advanced fluid mechanics and applied science. It consists of two parts. The first provides an introduction and general theory of fully developed turbulence, where treatment of turbulence is based on the linear functional equation derived by E. Hopf governing the characteristic functional that determines the statistical properties of a turbulent flow.

Cover of Practical Residual Stress Measurement Methods
The Slitting Method (Chapter 4 of Practical Residual Stress Measurement Methods)

by Michael R. Hill

The slitting method is a technique for measuring through thickness residual stress normal to a plane cut through a part. It involves cutting a slit (i.e., a thin slot) in increments of depth through the thickness of the work piece and measuring the resulting deformations as a function of slit depth. The chapter describes practical measurement procedures, provides a number of example applications, and summarizes efforts to determine the quality of the residual stress information obtained with the method.

System Dynamics: A Unified Approach, 2nd Edition

by Dean C. Karnopp, Donald L. Margolis, Ronald C. Rosenberg

This revised and expanded compilation explores the unity of approach to dynamic system modeling using bond-graph methods as well as other more traditional methods. While the first six chapters are basically the same as those found in the earlier edition, with some minor corrections, the majority of the change involves the advanced materials found in chapters 7-13, since more educators, practicing engineers and scientists are now aware of bond graphs than were in the early 1970s. Included in the area of new and advanced topics are: multiport fields and junction structures; transducers, amplifiers, and instruments; magnetic circuits and devices; and nonlinear simulation.

Uncertainty Analysis of Experimental Data with R cover
Uncertainty Analysis of Experimental Data with R

by Benjamin D. Shaw

Measurements of quantities that vary in a continuous fashion, e.g., the pressure of a gas, cannot be measured exactly and there will always be some uncertainty with these measured values, so it is vital for researchers to be able to quantify this data. Uncertainty Analysis of Experimental Data with R covers methods for evaluation of uncertainties in experimental data, as well as predictions made using these data, with implementation in R.
