Synopsis

Differential Transformation Method for Mechanical Engineering Problems focuses on applying DTM to a range of mechanical engineering applications. The authors modify traditional DTM to produce two additional methods, multi-step differential transformation method (Ms-DTM) and the hybrid differential transformation method and finite difference method (Hybrid DTM-FDM).

It is then demonstrated how these can be a suitable series solution for engineering and physical problems, such as the motion of a spherical particle, nanofluid flow and heat transfer, and micropolar fluid flow and heat transfer.

• Presents the differential transformation method and why it holds an advantage over higher-order Taylor series methods
• Includes a full mathematical introduction to DTM, Ms-DTM, and Hybrid DTM
• Covers the use of these methods for solving a range of problems in areas such as nanofluid flow, heat transfer, and motion of a spherical particle in different conditions
• Provides numerous examples and exercises which will help the reader fully grasp the practical applications of these new methods
