The availability of packaged clustering programs means that anyone with data can easily do cluster analysis on it. But many users of this technology don't fully appreciate its many hidden dangers. In today's world of "grab and go algorithms," part of my motivation for writing this book is to provide users with a set of cautionary tales about cluster analysis, for it is very much an art as well as a science, and it is easy to stumble if you don't understand its pitfalls.Indeed, it is easy to trip over them even if you do! The parenthetical word usually in the title is very important, because all clustering algorithms can and do fail from time to time. Modern cluster analysis has become so technically intricate that it is often hard for the beginner or the non-specialist to appreciate and understand its many hidden dangers. Here's how Yogi Berra put it, and he was right:In theory there's no difference between theory and practice.In practice, there is ~Yogi BerraThis book is a step backwa

Particle Technology and Engineering: Fundamentals and Computational Methods, Second Edition provides a comprehensive reference and introduction to the topic, ranging from single particle characterization to bulk powder properties, from particle-particle interaction to particle-fluid interaction, from fundamental mechanics to advanced computational mechanics for particle and powder systems. The book begins with a theoretical framework, with the first eight chapters focusing on properties of single particles and powder systems, their characterization, particle-fluid interactions, and the mechanics of particle and powder systems. These foundational chapters provide examples and exercises to aid in understanding these concepts. The last three chapters build upon this overview to provide more advanced practical guidance focus on modeling and simulations for particle systems and powder processing, including discrete element methods, finite element methods, and machine learning - case studies
