Classical mechanics Books

Book SynopsisStatistical mechanics is one of the most important areas of physics, and it also has applications to subjects as diverse as economics, social behavior, algorithmic theory, and evolutionary biology. This bokk introduces important developments in classical statistical mechanics, and guides readers to the very threshold of research.Trade Review"Unlike typical textbooks ... [Statistical Mechanics in a Nutshell] presents statistical mechanics as a more general theory with broader applications... A graduate student or researcher who wants to explore the applications of statistical mechanics would be very well served by this book."--Choice "Peliti's Statistical Mechanics in a Nutshell is a fantastic reference for those who know the subject, teach it, or need a quick technical reminder, especially on the topic of phase transitions, which are consistently featured in modern-day discussions... Statistical Mechanics in a Nutshell provides the more general overview, with topics such as the renormalization group method. It includes a good mix of fundamental thermodynamics, phase behaviour, and other key subjects."--Physics TodayTable of ContentsPreface to the English Edition xi Preface xiii Chapter 1: Introduction 1 1.1 The Subject Matter of Statistical Mechanics 1 1.2 Statistical Postulates 3 1.3 An Example: The Ideal Gas 3 1.4 Conclusions 7 Recommended Reading 8 Chapter 2: Thermodynamics 9 2.1 Thermodynamic Systems 9 2.2 Extensive Variables 11 2.3 The Central Problem of Thermodynamics 12 2.4 Entropy 13 2.5 Simple Problems 14 2.6 Heat and Work 18 2.7 The Fundamental Equation 23 2.8 Energy Scheme 24 2.9 Intensive Variables and Thermodynamic Potentials 26 2.10 Free Energy and Maxwell Relations 30 2.11 Gibbs Free Energy and Enthalpy 31 2.12 The Measure of Chemical Potential 33 2.13 The Koenig Born Diagram 35 2.14 Other Thermodynamic Potentials 36 2.15 The Euler and Gibbs-Duhem Equations 37 2.16 Magnetic Systems 39 2.17 Equations of State 40 2.18 Stability 41 2.19 Chemical Reactions 44 2.20 Phase Coexistence 45 2.21 The Clausius-Clapeyron Equation 47 2.22 The Coexistence Curve 48 2.23 Coexistence of Several Phases 49 2.24 The Critical Point 50 2.25 Planar Interfaces 51 Recommended Reading 54 Chapter 3: The Fundamental Postulate 55 3.1 Phase Space 55 3.2 Observables 57 3.3 The Fundamental Postulate: Entropy as Phase-Space Volume 58 3.4 Liouville's Theorem 59 3.5 Quantum States 63 3.6 Systems in Contact 66 3.7 Variational Principle 67 3.8 The Ideal Gas 68 3.9 The Probability Distribution 70 3.10 Maxwell Distribution 71 3.11 The Ising Paramagnet 71 3.12 The Canonical Ensemble 74 3.13 Generalized Ensembles 77 3.14 The p-T Ensemble 80 3.15 The Grand Canonical Ensemble 82 3.16 The Gibbs Formula for the Entropy 84 3.17 Variational Derivation of the Ensembles 86 3.18 Fluctuations of Uncorrelated Particles 87 Recommended Reading 88 Chapter 4: Interaction-Free Systems 89 4.1 Harmonic Oscillators 89 4.2 Photons and Phonons 93 4.3 Boson and Fermion Gases 102 4.4 Einstein Condensation 112 4.5 Adsorption 114 4.6 Internal Degrees of Freedom 116 4.7 Chemical Equilibria in Gases 123 Recommended Reading 124 Chapter 5: Phase Transitions 125 5.1 Liquid-Gas Coexistence and Critical Point 125 5.2 Van der Waals Equation 127 5.3.

Book SynopsisProcess machines are critical to the profitability of processes. Safe, efficient and reliable machines are required to maintain dependable manufacturing processes that can create saleable, on-spec product on time, and at the desired production rate. As the wards of process machinery, we wish to keep our equipment in serviceable condition. One of the most challenging aspects of a machinery professional or operator''s job is deciding whether an operating machine should be shut down due to a perceived problem or be allowed to keep operating. If he or she wrongly recommends a repair be conducted, the remaining useful machine life is wasted, but if he or she is right, they can save the organization from severe consequences, such as product releases, fires, costly secondary machine damage, etc. This economic balancing act is at the heart of all machinery assessments.

Book SynopsisThe Mathematical Elasticity set contains three self-contained volumes that together provide the only modern treatise on elasticity. They introduce contemporary research on three-dimensional elasticity, the theory of plates, and the theory of shells. Each volume contains proofs, detailed surveys of all mathematical prerequisites, and many problems for teaching and self-study. An extended preface and extensive bibliography have been added to each volume to highlight the progress that has been made since the original publication.The first book, Three-Dimensional Elasticity, covers the modeling and mathematical analysis of nonlinear three-dimensional elasticity. In volume two, Theory of Plates, asymptotic methods provide a rigorous mathematical justification of the classical two-dimensional linear plate and shallow shell theories. The objective of Theory of Shells, the final volume, is to show how asymptotic methods provide a rigorous mathematical justification of the classical two-dimensional linear shell theories: membrane, generalized membrane, and flexural.These classic textbooks are for advanced undergraduates, first-year graduate students, and researchers in pure or applied mathematics or continuum mechanics. They are appropriate for courses in mathematical elasticity, theory of plates and shells, continuum mechanics, computational mechanics, and applied mathematics in general.

Book SynopsisClassical Mechanics, a branch of physics that addresses the motion of macroscopic objects, is founded upon fundamental principles that govern the behavior of physical bodies. Central to this are Newton's three laws of motion. The first law, or the law of inertia, posits that an object will remain in a state of rest or uniform motion unless acted upon by an external force. The second law provides a mathematical description of how the velocity of an object changes when it is subjected to an external force, and is often expressed as F=ma, where F is the total force, m is the object's mass, and a is its acceleration. The third law, the principle of action and reaction, asserts that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. These laws have been instrumental in the development of various disciplines such as engineering and astronomy and remain applicable to most physical systems, except when dealing with phenomena at extremely small scales or relativistic speeds. The Fundamentals of Motion: Introduction to Classical Mechanics is an essential textbook that provides a thorough examination of the principles underlying the motion of macroscopic objects. Designed for students, educators, and professionals in physics and engineering, this book delves into the core concepts of Classical Mechanics, including Newton's laws of motion, conservation of momentum and energy, dynamics, kinematics, and rotational motion. It offers a systematic approach to understanding fundamental theories and mathematical formulations, coupled with illustrative examples and practical exercises. This textbook also incorporates discussions on the historical development and philosophical aspects of Classical Mechanics, the limitations of the classical view in the face of relativistic and quantum phenomena, and emerging connections to other areas of physics. With its methodical exposition and clear insights, Fundamentals of Motion: Introduction to Classical Mechanics serves as an indispensable guide for those seeking to understand the intricate workings of physical laws that govern our world, equipping readers with the knowledge and tools to explore the underlying nature of motion and mechanics.

Book SynopsisThis book presents the fundamental principles of mechanics to re-establish the equations of Discrete Mechanics. It introduces physics and thermodynamics associated to the physical modeling. The development and the complementarity of sciences lead to review today the old concepts that were the basis for the development of continuum mechanics. The differential geometry is used to review the conservation laws of mechanics. For instance, this formalism requires a different location of vector and scalar quantities in space. The equations of Discrete Mechanics form a system of equations where the Helmholtz-Hodge decomposition plays an important role.Trade Review"This book develops a new and original approach to mechanics."

Book SynopsisThe Fifth edition of this classic textbook includes a solutions manual. Extensive supplemental instructor resources are forthcoming in the Fall of 2022.Mechanical Vibration: Theory and Application presents comprehensive coverage of the fundamental principles of mechanical vibration, including the theory of vibration, as well as discussions and examples of the applications of these principles to practical engineering problems. The book also addresses the effects of uncertainties in vibration analysis and design and develops passive and active methods for the control of vibration. Many example problems with solutions are provided. These examples as well as compelling case studies and stories of real-world applications of mechanical vibration have been carefully chosen and presented to help the reader gain a thorough understanding of the subject. There is a solutions manual for instructors who adopt this book. Request a solutions manual here (https://www.rutgersuniversitypress.org/mechanical-vibration).Trade ReviewThis fifth edition of Mechanical Vibration, a broad and deep exposition not only of vibration, but also of system uncertainties and control, has been expanded and re-written in many parts. The comprehensive coverage includes elementary as well as advanced and professional topics. There are numerous engineering case studies, new appendixes on damping models, and extensive MATLAB resources. The exposition of concepts is careful and precise and yet the presentation is casual, a combination that makes the book remarkably easy and enjoyable to read. -- Fai Ma * Mechanical Engineering, University of California, Berkeley *Mechanical vibration permeates every aspect of engineering design including automotive, aerospace, electronics, machine tools, robotics and structural systems. This text provides a well-integrated, clear and concise discussion of the theory and practice of mechanical vibration as well as the related subjects of random vibration and vibration control. It presents a wide array of real-world examples and meaningful case studies, highlighted by interesting photographs that motivate the subject. There are many solved problems, detailed derivations, and insights that draw on the academic and industrial experiences of the authors. Some of the examples address very classical systems, and others target next generation systems that are currently at the leading edge of technology. The authors are to be congratulated for writing an engaging textbook that makes the challenging and important subject of vibration accessible to engineering students in various disciplines. -- Thomas R. Kurfess * George W. Woodruff School of Mechanical Engineering, Georgia Institute of Technology *For a broad range of engineers involved in structural analysis, this is, in my opinion, a definitely "must have" book. It is perfectly relevant to numerous applications of vibrational analysis in civil, mechanical, aerospace, and biomechanical engineering fields. Although it is written primarily as a textbook, an experienced reader will find it equally useful as a systematic reference of major modern concepts, solutions, and demonstrations cases. The authors have found an optimum balance between “mathematical” and “applied” sides, emphasizing, on one hand, the motivation and modeling of reality, and lessons learned from generated results and, on the other hand, providing rigorous mathematical implementations in a very clear and logical way. The book is extremely well written, and very easy to read, with numerous examples. It also includes an appendix with extensive MATLAB programs for quick implementation into engineering practice. I especially value the chapters on random vibration that demonstrate the importance of probabilistic solutions of structural reliability. It is also a pleasure indeed to read historical anecdotes and life sketches and understand the development of modern mechanics as a process. -- Mark Gurvich * Technical Fellow, Collins Aerospace *Whether tuning a suspension, maximizing tire grip, honing a cylinder bore or determining (just enough) engine isolation, the topic of vibration is critical to vehicle design. This book is impressive, not only in its scope, but also in its approach. The presentation of material is well thought-out, the examples and derivations are quite detailed and easy to follow, while the prose, pictures and bios provide unique context that make the subject matter surprisingly engaging. Aside from making this broad topic approachable to students, this book serves as a concise reference for professionals. The inclusion of an overview of basic (time domain) controls, as well as random vibration, adds additional value and perspective. -- Jim Sadauckas * Staff System Engineer, Vehicle Dynamics & Simulation, Harley-Davidson Motor Company *In the design of vehicles, vibration is a constant issue as it influences complete vehicle properties such as cabin comfort, driving performance, and vehicle dynamics and can lead to fatigue, damage, and failure. Control of vibration is a key factor in successful vehicle design, making this book on modern vibration highly relevant. The book connects theory with practice, includes many worked examples and case studies, and is a resource on vibration that imparts deep physical as well as mathematical understanding to the student or engineer. It is highly recommended. -- Julian Weber * Head of Innovation Projects E-Mobility, BMW *I have heard people say that good writing has a ‘voice.’ Mechanical Vibration by Benaroya, Nagurka, and Han has a voice that tells a rich story about vibration analysis in all its glory – from the beauty of its mathematics through its impact on our daily lives to the history of the people who brought it to life. -- Keith Buffinton * Dean of Engineering, emeritus, Bucknell University *Table of Contents1.

Book SynopsisThis revised, updated edition provides a comprehensive and rigorous description of the application of Hamilton’s principle to continuous media. To introduce terminology and initial concepts, it begins with what is called the first problem of the calculus of variations. For both historical and pedagogical reasons, it first discusses the application of the principle to systems of particles, including conservative and non-conservative systems and systems with constraints. The foundations of mechanics of continua are introduced in the context of inner product spaces. With this basis, the application of Hamilton’s principle to the classical theories of fluid and solid mechanics are covered. Then recent developments are described, including materials with microstructure, mixtures, and continua with singular surfaces.Table of ContentsMechanics of Systems of Particles .- Mathematical Preliminaries.- Mechanics of Continuous Media.- Motions and Comparison Motions of a Mixture.- Singular Surfaces.- Index.

Book SynopsisThis monograph provides a compact introduction into the classical, i.e. rate-independent, plasticity theory. Starting from the engineering stress-strain diagram, the concept of elastic and elasto-plastic material behavior is introduced, as well as the concept of uniaxial and multiaxial stress states. Continuum mechanical modeling in the elasto-plastic range requires, in regards to the constitutive equation, in addition to the elastic law (e.g. Hooke’s law), a yield condition, a flow rule and a hardening rule. These basic equations are thoroughly introduced and explained for one-dimensional stress states. Considering three-dimensional plasticity, different sets of stress invariants to characterize the stress matrix and the decomposition of the stress matrix in its hydrostatic and deviatoric part are introduced. Furthermore, the concept of the yield condition, flow rule and hardening rule is generalized for multiaxial stress states. Some typical yield conditions are introduced and their graphical representation in different stress spaces is discussed in detail. The book concludes with an introduction in the elasto-plastic finite element simulation of mechanical structures. In the context of numerical approximation methods, the so-called predictor-corrector methods are used to integrate the constitutive equations. This is again introduced in detail based on one-dimensional stress states and afterwards generalized to the three-dimensional case.

Book SynopsisThere is a huge gulf between the real physics of space travel and the way it is commonly portrayed in movies and TV shows. That’s not because space physics is difficult or obscure – most of the details were understood by the end of the 18th century – but because it can often be bafflingly counter-intuitive for a general audience. The purpose of this book isn’t to criticize or debunk popular sci-fi depictions, which can be very entertaining, but to focus on how space physics really works. This is done with the aid of numerous practical illustrations taken from the works of serious science fiction authors – from Jules Verne and Arthur C. Clarke to Larry Niven and Andy Weir – who have taken positive pleasure in getting their scientific facts right.Trade Review“This slim book has the appealing premise of looking at the basics of space physics, from gravity through rocket science to the nature of a vacuum, by using examples from 'well-constructed science fiction'. ... a great read both for those who enjoy science fiction (or want to write it) and those wanting to know a little more of the realities of potential life in space.” (Popular Science, popsciencebooks.blogspot.com, July 24, 2023)Table of ContentsChapter 1: Physics in Science Fiction Chapter 2: Gravity Chapter 3: Orbital DynamicsChapter 4: Rocket Science Chapter 5: Living in a Vacuum

Book SynopsisData on the densities of organic compounds is essential for both scientific and industrial applications. A knowledge of densities is important in many areas, including custody transfer of materials, product specification, development of various predictive methods, and for characterizing compounds and estimating their purity. The densities of normal and branched alkanes are collected from the original literature published from 1863 to early 1996. All the values were critically evaluated. The tables contain the original literature data, along with their estimated uncertainties, and the evaluated data, in both numerical form and as coefficients to equations with selected statistical information. The volume also contains the CASR Number Index and a Chemical Name Index.

Book Synopsis1 Introduction Data extract from Landolt-Börnstein IV/17: Static Dielectric Constants of Pure Liquids and Binary Liquid Mixtures 1. 1 Selection of data This supplement updates Landolt-Börnstein's New Series Group IV (Physical Chemistry) Volume 6, Static Dielectric Constants of Pure Liquids and Binary Liquid Mixtures, published in the year 1991 [1991WOH1]. The update provides experimental data published in the years 1991 to 2006. The ?nal date for including data was December, 31st, 2006. Specialization and selection of data for this new update follows the intentions of the original volume. The focus is on non-electrolyte systems, and only data for pure liquids and binary liquid mixtures at normal pr- sure (or in some single cases at the saturation vapor pressure) were taken into account for this volume. No data at higher pressures were collected, no data for the gaseous state, and no data for dielectric relaxation processes at higher frequencies have been included. For mixtures, this data collection is restricted to binary liquid mixtures, i. e. no ternary systems and also no solutions of any solids, salts, electrolytes, polymers are included here. At least, also molten metals and metallic alloys, molten salts, molten glasses and other hi- temperature melts were not taken into account. As the amount of data collected between 1991 and 2006 exceeds the available space for printing by far, the volume has an electronic version containing additional data which is available on www. landolt-boernstein.Table of Contents1 Introduction.- Index of Substances.- Dielectric constant of oxygen.- Dielectric constant of carbon dioxide.- Dielectric constant of carbon disulfide.- Dielectric

Book SynopsisDieses Buch leistet übergeordnet einen besonderen Beitrag zur dauerhaften innovativen Weiterentwicklung und Kompetenzerhaltung. Es enthält Hinweise zur Beurteilung der Sinnhaftigkeit von Computerprogrammen und Entscheidungen, die allein auf die Vergleichsgröße Geld mit dem damit zwangsweise verknüpften technischen Informationsverlust reduziert sind, um den industriellen Prozesses zum Wohl aller Menschen unbeirrt erfolgreich fortsetzen zu können. Gesichertes Wissen kann nur aus der Natur abgeleitetes Wissen sein. Die Denk- und Arbeitsweisen der Ingenieure und Physiker als treibende Hauptakteure müssen naturwissenschaftlich geprägt sein. Der heute zu beobachtenden geradezu explosionsartigen Vermehrung an Faktenwissen steht eine ebenso schnelle Entwertung des technischen Details gegenüber, die man mit dem Einsatz von Computerprogrammen zu beherrschen glaubt. Um unter diesen Bedingungen wirklich Herr der Dinge bleiben zu können, sind grundlegende, allein durch die Naturgesetze und die Mathematik legitimierte, Denk- und Arbeitsmethoden zu nutzen und weiterzuentwickeln, die in der Zeit des Faktenwissens und Computergebrauchs sonst verloren gehen. Das naturwissenschaftlich/mathematische Werkzeug hierzu ist die ¶-Theorem Methodik, die universell auf alle technologischen Probleme (Mechanik, Elektrotechnik, Biologie, Populationen, …) angewendet werden kann. Da jedes spezielle technologische Problem ein ganz extremer Sonderfall ist, kann stets durch Verschärfen und Ausschöpfen mit a priori bekannten problemspezifischen Details und Nutzung von Reihenentwicklungen immer eine extrem einfache natur-wissenschaftlich gesicherte Lösung gefunden werden, die zugleich auch ökonomisch hinsichtlich Zeit- und Kostenaufwand optimal ist.

Book SynopsisThis key text is a major reference work – a totally authoritative handbook on a major current topic. It consolidates state-of-the-art information from the large number of disciplines used in Experimental Fluid Mechanics into a readable desk reference book. It comprises four parts: Experiments in Fluid Mechanics, Measurement of Primary Quantities, Specific Experimental Approaches, and Analyses and Post-Processing of Data. The book has been prepared for physicists and engineers in research and development in universities, in industry and in other research institutions. Both experimental methodology and techniques are covered fundamentally and for a wide range of application fields. A generous use of citations directs the reader to additional material on each subject.Trade ReviewFrom the reviews: "Handbooks are reference works for daily use by two main groups of people: on the one hand by experienced scientists, and by engineers or physicists … . And, on the other hand, by students … . due to the breadth and depth, this book serves both groups excellently. … In summary, the community of fluid mechanics today has in their hands a highly valuable and important new book, which is a major reference in our science and will soon become a standard reference." (Günter Brenn, International Journal of Heat and Mass Transfer, Vol. 51, 2008) "The stated purpose of this 1500 page handbook is to provide comprehensive information to the experimental fluid mechanics community for planning, executing, and interpreting experiments. … A DVD-ROM PDF version of the handbook accompanies the hardback book. … The book is excellent for a user who wants to obtain some information on a given topic without reading and digesting many papers. … production quality is excellent too. … The high-quality drawings, photos, and figures are clearly labeled and captioned." (Roger L. Simpson, American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics Journal, Vol. 46 (10), 2008)Table of ContentsIntroductionThe expression: "analytical work", often connotes an effort in which basic expressions are combined to analyze a given problem and to derive new information and insight from the resulting mathematical steps of the analysis. Specifically, having started with the appropriate relationships and bringing appropriate mathematical manipulations to the task, the analyst is able to create new information to address the motivating question(s).A central organizing theme of this handbook is that ‘experimental fluid mechanics" can be understood as a parallel activity to that described above. The motivating questions will set the context for the experiment. The experiment will be established as a boundary value problem in which the experimentalist will address all aspects of the boundary conditions that will influence the "solution." If a transient or an evolving solution is sought, the appropriate initial conditions will similarly be addressed.Having established these conditions, the solution to the boundary value problem will be revealed in the experimental data that will – ideally – not be contaminated by unintended or unknown perturbing effects and that will be fully converged if statistical average values are sought. Part A Experiments in Fluid Mechanics The objective of Part A is to establish the fundamental concepts and equations that undergird experimental fluid mechanics. The first chapter: addresses both the governing equations and the constitutive equations for Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluids. Chapter 2 provides the systematic bases for model testing and the scaling of experimental results. Sections 2.1 through 2.7 derive similitude parameters (Reynolds number, Froude number, etc.) from the governing equations and the boundary conditions. Dimensional analysis (Sect. 2.2) provides a rational approach for the organization and interpretation of experimental data; Sect. 2.3, self-similarity, documents known flow fields that exhibit this condition and it provides guidance on what other flows may exhibit this behavior. The encyclopedic presentation of examples will allow the reader to comprehend the universal features of both complete and incomplete self-similarity. Chap. 1 The Experiment as a Boundary-Value ProblemChap. 2 Nondimensional Representation of the Boundary-Value ProblemPart B Measurement of Primary QuantitiesThe objective of Part B is to provide specific information to the reader on the following primary quantities: material properties (Chap. 3), flow field properties (Chap. 4 – pressure, Chap. 5 – velocity, vorticity, Mach number, Chap. 6 – spatial density variations and Chap. 7 – temperature and heat flux) and forces and moments (Chap. 8). Chapter 3 is focused on providing quantitative information for the material properties, the sources of this information and the associated confidence levels for the given data. Chapters 4 through 8 provide comprehensive guidance to the reader on: i) the objectives, ii) the available equipment, iii) the utilization techniques, and iv) the post-processing of the primitive information for the stated quantities. Chap. 3 Material Properties: Measurement and DataChap. 4 Pressure Measurement SystemsChap. 5 Velocity, Vorticity and Mach NumberChap. 6 Spatial Density VariationsChap. 7 Temperature, Concentration and Heat FluxChap. 8 Forces and Moments Part C Specific Experimental ApproachesBuilding on the previous two parts of this Springer Handbook, which have dealt with the fundamental concepts and equations that undergrid experimental fluid mechanics and the measurement of primary quantities, respectively, Part C addresses experimental fluid mechanics from an application point of view. According to application, often unique and specific forms of equipment, experimental procedure, or analysis and interpretation of results have been developed. It is the purpose of Part C to elucidate a selection of such application areas, in particular measurements of non-Newtonian flows, turbulence, flow visualization, wall-bounded flows, surface topology, turbomachines, hydraulics, aerodynamics, atmospheric and oceanographic measurements, combustion diagnostics and electrohydrodynamic systems.Chap. 9 Non-Newtonian FlowsChap. 10 Measurement of Turbulent FlowsChap. 11 Flow VisualizationChap. 12 Wall-Bounded FlowsChap. 13 Surface TopologyChap. 14 TurbomachinesChap. 15 HydraulicsChap. 16 AerodynamicsChap. 17 Atmospheric MeasurementsChap. 18 Oceanographic MeasurementsChap. 19 The No-Slip Boundary ConditionChap. 20 Combustion DiagnosticsChap. 21 Electrohydrodynamic SystemsPart D Analyses and Post-Processing of Data This final part of the Springer Handbook is actually meant to be a reference source about single and data processing techniques commonly encountered in fluid mechanics. These topics have been complemented by a section discussing data acquisition by imaging detectors, a topic becoming increasingly important for optical measurement techniques. These are all subjects, which in their development are not naturally associated with fluid mechanics; hence Part D attempts to collect information from many diverse sources and present them conveniently to the fluid mechanic researcher. Topics covered in this part include fundamental topics of signal and data processing transforms (Fourier, Hilbert, wavelet), proper orthogonal decomposition and stochastic estimation. This is followed by a discussion of estimator expectation and variance and the influence of noise on these quantities. The Cramèr-Rao Lower Bound (CRLB) is introduced and developed for several common signal processing examples from fluid mechanics. Imaging detectors and measures of their performance are then discussed in detail before closing with a chapter on image processing and motion analysis, two topics especially relevant for the Particle Image Velocity (PIV) measurement technique.
