Theory and Design for Mechanical Measurements, 5/E (IE)

The fifth edition of this market-leading book provides mechanical engineers with the most up-to date coverage of mechanical measurements. Sound theory is highlighted by rich and current practical applications. New chapter-opening learning objectives and outcomes explore the critical concepts that will be discussed, augmenting the text s approachable writing style. The text also includes updated coverage on probability and statistics and uncertainty analysis to include new international and US standards on the classification of errors in measurements. Readers can also learn how to utilize software tools with access to LABVIEW files for self-tutorials on critical concepts and MATLAB files for system analysis.
