Wavelets for Mechanical Engineering Applications

From one of the most active new areas of mathematics, this book bridges the gap between the applied mathematics and practical application of wavelet research in mechanical engineering. The examples in the book are taken from real life applications furthering the relevance of the book - for example some of the algorithms developed by the author and illustrated in this text are used by NASA, Daimler Chrysler, Rolls Royce and BAE Systems, and as the author says, "These companies are not interested in mathematics they are interested in practical solutions." With its applications ranging from topics such as aerospace and civil structures, gearboxes, ball-bearings, steel and glass surface data, vibration data from deep drill equipment and vehicle road data, its appeal will reach postgraduates, practitioners, industrialists and academic researchers working in mechanical engineering.
