Book Description
The new measure of excellence Now revised to reflect the latest standards and advances, Figliola and Beasley's Fourth Edition provides a timely and in-depth reference to the theory of engineering measurements, measurement system performance, and instrumentation. The authors show you how to develop, operate, and analyze measurement systems and report results. The text covers uncertainty analysis and mechanical measurements in one unified presentation, introducing you to the most powerful experimental tools available. Features of the Fourth Edition: * Updated to reflect the newest ASME/ASNI Test Uncertainty nomenclature and ISO vocabulary. * Expanded treatment of mechatronics concepts (Chapter 12, Appendix C). * More practical use of operational amplifiers in discussion of signal conditioning circuits. * Labview files for self-tutorials on critical concepts and Matlab files for system analyses are available for download on the text's website. www.wiley.com/college/figliola * Updated and revised problem sets, with an emphasis on design considerations. About the Authors Richard Figliola, Ph.D. is Professor of Mechanical Engineering and Bioengineering at Clemson University, where he was awarded the Murray Stokely Excellence in Teaching Award. He is a member of the ASME PTC 19.1 Executive Committee on Test Uncertainty and a founding member of the ASME K-21 Education Committee. Dr. Figliola holds 5 patents for products in medical blood flow, materials processing, and electronic cooling. Donald Beasley, Ph.D. is Professor of Mechanical Engineering at Clemson University. He has received numerous teaching awards over the years, including the Murray Stokely Excellence in Teaching Award at Clemson. Dr. Beasley is a consultant to the golf equipment industry, serving on the product editorial board of Golf Digest. His research areas include heat transfer, thermal engineering, and measurement methods.
