Models for Wind Tunnel Tests Based on Additive Manufacturing Technology

This book systematically introduces design and fabrication of physical models for wind tunnel tests based on additive manufacturing technology, including model design technology, model fabrication process, strengthening technology, etc. On this basis, it introduces in detail the specific implementation process of commonly used models, e.g., force measurement models, pressure measurement models, elastic models, and flutter models. This book mainly provides references for researchers and engineers who are engaged in aircraft design, experimental fluid mechanics, and additive manufacturing technology research.

Is the first book to discuss the issue based on Addictive Manufacturing technology Summarizes key points and provides cases of Models-based AM technology Provides valuable information on design and fabrication of models for tests
