Wheeler and Ganji introduce many topics that engineers need to master in order to plan, design and document a successful experiment or measurement system. The volume offers thorough discussions of topics often ignored or merely touched upon by other books, including modern computerized data acquisition systems, electrical output measuring devices, and in-depth coverage of experimental uncertainty analysis. The authors detail general characteristics of measurement systems, measurement systems with electrical signals, computerized data acquisition systems, discrete sampling and analysis of time-varying signals, statistical analysis of experimental data, experimental uncertainty analysis, measurement of solid-mechanical quantities, measurement of pressure, temperature and humidity, measurement of fluid flow rate, fluid velocity, fluid level, and combustion pollutants, dynamic behavior of measurement systems, as well as guidelines for planning and documenting experiments. For practicing engineers of all kinds.

From the Back Cover:

Based on the authors' industrial and academic experience, this book has been developed for an undergraduate course in engineering experimentation at the junior or senior level. The book can also be a useful reference for practicing engineers. The material covers the most common elements necessary to design, execute, analyze, and document an engineering experiment or to specify instrumentation for a production process.

Key Features of the Book
  • Introduction of the common nomenclature for measuring devices and presentation of the standard method to calibrate instruments
  • Characteristics of signal conditioners, including amplifiers and filters
  • Description of computerized data acquisition systems
  • Detailed discussion of the sampling rate theorem and signal analysis using Fourier series and Fourier transforms
  • Detailed coverage of the most common statistical techniques and probability distributions
  • Detailed coverage of the most recent standard for uncertainty analysis
  • Descriptions of the most common engineering measuring devices
  • Detailed coverage of the dynamic characteristics of measuring systems with practical applications
  • Common techniques for planning and documenting experiments
  • Extensive end-of-chapter problems based on realistic industrial practice
