p="" This book focuses both on the basics and more complex topics in mechanical measurements such as measurement errors & statistical analysis of data, regression analysis, heat flux, measurement of pressure, and radiation properties of surfaces. End of chapter problems, solved illustrations, and exercise problems are presented throughout the book to augment learning. It is a useful reference for students in both undergraduate and postgraduate programs. ^

Theory and Design for Mechanical Measurements merges time-tested pedagogy with current technology to deliver an immersive, accessible resource for both students and practicing engineers. Emphasizing statistics and uncertainty analysis with topical integration throughout, this book establishes a strong foundation in measurement theory while leveraging the e-book format to increase student engagement with interactive problems, electronic data sets, and more. This new Seventh edition has been updated with new practice problems, electronically accessible solutions, and dedicated Instructor Problems that ease course planning and assessment. Extensive coverage of device selection, test procedures, measurement system performance, and result reporting and analysis sets the field for generalized understanding, while practical discussion of data acquisition hardware, infrared imaging, and other current technologies demonstrate real-world methods and techniques. Designed to align with a variety of undergraduate course structures, this unique text offers a highly flexible pedagogical framework while remaining rigorous enough for use in graduate studies, independent study, or professional reference.

Market_Desc: · Mechanical Engineers Special Features: · Detailed examples with consistent methodology illustrate use of new material as it is discussed· Condensed but thorough coverage of statistical analysis of data teaches readers how to analyze and report data using just a handful of statistical tools and concepts About The Book: This textbook provides an in-depth introduction to the theory of engineering measurements, measurement system performance, and instrumentation. Uncertainty analysis is introduced and developed for both the beginner and the advanced engineer. The book also offers an extended discussion of sampling concepts, analog-to-digital interfacing, signal conditioning and data acquisition.

This set of five volumes covers all aspects of instrument technology. Each volume has a part title.

Methods And Techniques Of Measurements Are Becoming Increasingly Important In Engineering In Recent Years Laboratory Programmes Have Been Modernized, Sophisticated Electronic Instrumentation Has Been Incorporated Into The Programme And Newer Techniques Have Been Developed. This Book Dwells On The Physical Aspects Of Measurement Techniques. For The Measurement To Be Meaningful, The Nature And Magnitude Of Error Should Be Known. The Book, Thus Begins With Error Analysis And Applications Of Statistical Principles To Attain A Measurement Value As Near The True Value As Possible. The Methods Of Measuring Mechanical Quantities Are Discussed Subsequently, Overing Both The Basic And Derived Quantities. Effort Has Been Made To Present The Subject In S.I. Units. Some Of The Recent Developments Such As Laser-Doppler Techniques, Holography, Have Also Been Included. The Coverage Is Such That The Book Will Be Useful Both Of Graduate And Post-Graduate Students And Will Also Serve As A Constant Reference For Researchers.

Jones' Instrument Technology, Volume 1: Mechanical Measurements, Fourth Edition, provides a comprehensive discussion of the design, operation, and application of various instruments for different types of measurements. The material has been grouped by application, but supplemented by one or two ""techniques"" chapters. The text is primarily a ""stand alone"" description of current practice. For the greatest part, readers will learn most from it simply by reading what it says itself. Because this book does not go into the greatest detail, most chapters feature a listing of more specialized books where particular subjects are dealt with more fully. The book covers instrumentation for measurements of flow, viscosity, length, strain, level and volume, vibration, force, density, pressure, vacuum, and particle size. It is aimed at a technician readership, as were earlier editions. Specialist instrument designers can find in this book a sound foundation on which they can build. Would-be graduate engineers who do not specialize in instrumentation will also find the broad coverage they need.
