| Introduction |
||
|
|
To illustrate that dimensional analysis introduced in fluid mechanics can also be used in other engineering problems (e.g., statics, dynamics and solid mechanics), students are challenged to find the important dimensionless parameters governing the deflection of a circular cantilever beam due to an applied force at its tip, as shown in the figure. | |
