A multidisciplinary reference of engineering measurementtools, techniques, and applications--Volume 1
"When you can measure what you are speaking about, and expressit in numbers, you know something about it; but when you cannotmeasure it, when you cannot express it in numbers, your knowledgeis of a meager and unsatisfactory kind; it may be the beginning ofknowledge, but you have scarcely in your thoughts advanced to thestage of science." -- Lord Kelvin
Measurement falls at the heart of any engineering discipline andjob function. Whether engineers are attempting to staterequirements quantitatively and demonstrate compliance; to trackprogress and predict results; or to analyze costs and benefits,they must use the right tools and techniques to produce meaningful,useful data.
The Handbook of Measurement in Science and Engineering isthe most comprehensive, up-to-date reference set on engineeringmeasurements--beyond anything on the market today. Encyclopedicin scope, Volume 1 spans several disciplines--Civil andEnvironmental Engineering, Mechanical and Biomedical Engineering,and Industrial Engineering--and covers:
* New Measurement Techniques in Structural Health Monitoring
* Traffic Congestion Management
* Measurements in Environmental Engineering
* Dimensions, Surfaces, and Their Measurement
* Luminescent Method for Pressure Measurement
* Vibration Measurement
* Temperature Measurement
* Force Measurement
* Heat Transfer Measurements for Non-Boiling Two-Phase Flow
* Solar Energy Measurements
* Human Movement Measurements
* Physiological Flow Measurements
* GIS and Computer Mapping
* Seismic Testing of Highway Bridges
* Hydrology Measurements
* Mobile Source Emissions Testing
* Mass Properties Measurement
* Resistive Strain Measurement Devices
* Acoustics Measurements
* Pressure and Velocity Measurements
* Heat Flux Measurement
* Wind Energy Measurements
* Flow Measurement
* Statistical Quality Control
* Industrial Energy Efficiency
* Industrial Waste Auditing
Vital for engineers, scientists, and technical managers inindustry and government, Handbook of Measurement in Science andEngineering will also prove ideal for members of majorengineering associations and academics and researchers atuniversities and laboratories.
