{"product_id":"9783642692000","title":"Relativity and Engineering","description":"\u003ch1\u003eRelativity and Engineering\u003c\/h1\u003e \u003ch2\u003eBladel, Jean van\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe main feature of this book is the emphasis on \"practice\". This approach, unusual in the relativistic literature, may be clarified by quoting some problems discussed in the text: - the analysis of rocket acceleration to relativistic velocities - the influence of gravitational fields on the accuracy of time measurements - the operation of optical rotation sensors - the evaluation of the Doppler spectrum produced by the linear (or ro- tional) motion of an antenna or scatterer - the use of the Cerenkov effect in the design of millimeter-wave power generators - the influence of the motion of a plasma on the transmission of electrom- netic waves through this medium. A correct solution of these (and analogous) problems requires the use of re­ lativistic principles. This remark remains valid even at low velocities, since first-order terms in (v\/c) often playa fundamental role in the equations. The \"applicational\" approach used in the text should be acceptable to space engineers, nuclear engineers, electrical engineers, and more generally, ap­ plied physicists. Electrical engineers, in particular, are concerned with re­ lativity by way of the electrodynamics of moving bodies. This discipline is of decisive importance for power engineers, who are confronted with problems such as - the justification of a forcing function (-D~\/Dt) in the circuit equation of a moving loop - a correct formulation of Maxwell's equations in rotating coordinate systems - the resolution of \"sliding contact\" paradoxes - a theoretically satisfying analysis of magnetic levitation systems.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2012-01-30\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783642692000\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-642-69198-0\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 229.0cm x152.0cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 402.0\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Berlin Heidelberg","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44422502744204,"sku":"9783642692000","price":98.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783642692000.jpg?v=1756268253","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9783642692000","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
