Handbook of Measurement in Science and Engineering, Volume 1 (PDF)

A multidisciplinary reference of engineering measurement
tools, techniques, and applications--Volume 1

"When you can measure what you are speaking about, and express
it in numbers, you know something about it; but when you cannot
measure it, when you cannot express it in numbers, your knowledge
is of a meager and unsatisfactory kind; it may be the beginning of
knowledge, but you have scarcely in your thoughts advanced to the
stage of science." -- Lord Kelvin

Measurement falls at the heart of any engineering discipline and
job function. Whether engineers are attempting to state
requirements quantitatively and demonstrate compliance; to track
progress 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 is
the most comprehensive, up-to-date reference set on engineering
measurements--beyond anything on the market today. Encyclopedic
in scope, Volume 1 spans several disciplines--Civil and
Environmental 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 in
industry and government, Handbook of Measurement in Science and
Engineering will also prove ideal for members of major
engineering associations and academics and researchers at
universities and laboratories.
