Compare the Distorted and undistorted models:
S.NO | Undistorted Model | Distorted Model |
1 | An undistorted model is the one which is geometrically similar to its prototype. | A distorted model is the one which is not geometrically similar to its prototype. |
2 | The conditions of similitude are completely satisfied for such models | The conditions of similitude are not completely satisfied for such models. |
3 | The design and construction and the interpretation of the undistorted model results are simpler. | It is difficult to extrapolate and interpolate the results obtained from the distorted models. |
4 | They are generally adopted for very small projects (large scale). | They are generally adopted for modern days lar.... |
