Scale Models in Engineering: Fundamentals and Applications provides a simple and fundamental method of designing scale model experiments. This book is divided into two parts. Part I explores the background of scale modeling and explains the design procedure of scale models and experiments. The relaxation method commonly applied to conflicting requirements in model design is also analyzed. Part II is devoted to case studies selected from modern fields of model application. These studies have been interpreted uniformly. This publication is designed not only as a college textbook for senior and graduate levels but also as a working reference for practicing engineers.
In Oboe Art and Method, veteran oboe performer and instructor Martin Schuring describes in detail all of the basic techniques of oboe playing (including breathing, embouchure, finger technique, articulation, and phrasing) and reed making, with expert tips and step-by-step instructions for how best to perform each of these tasks with grace and technical efficiency.
This book offers an explanation of why scale models are important to the design process. Albert Smith takes the reader through the history and significance of models in architecture from the magic of the Egyptian scale model to the present day. Through this description of the relationship between architecture and the scale model, Smith demonstrates the most effective process between concept and 'machine', between the idea and the final building. The great value of this book is to reveal the nature of the scale model and to unlock the tremendous potential of this design tool as a thinking and communicative advice. His chronological analysis goes on from Egypt through Rome to the relationship between the Greek paradigm scale model and then on to Medieval and Renaissance models. It concludes with the models of the Spanish architect Antonio Gaudi, the Russian Constructivists, the American architect Louis Khan and finally looks at the role of scale models in the present day through the work of the Polish/American architect Daniel Libeskind and the American Frank Gehry.
