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 Amzon
