Theory and Design for Mechanical Measurements 5th Edition
We are pleased to offer this 5th edition of Theory and Design for Mechanical Measurements. This text provides a well-founded background in the theory of engineering measurements. Integrated throughout are the necessary elements for the design of measurement systems and measurement test plans, with an emphasis on the role of statistics and uncertainty analyses in design. The measurements field is very broad, but through careful selection of the topical coverage we establish the physical principles and practical techniques for many engineering applications while keeping page count and text cost manageable. Our aim is not to offer a manual for instrument construction and assembly. Instead, we develop the conceptual design framework for selecting and specifying equipment and test procedures and for interpreting test results, which we feel are necessary and common bases for the practice of test engineering.

A system is composed of components that work together to accomplish a specific objective. We begin by describing the components that make up a measurement system, using specific examples. Then we will generalize to a model of the generic measurement system.
The text is appropriate for undergraduate and graduate level study in engineering, but is also suitably advanced and oriented to serve as a reference source for professional practitioners. The pedagogical approach invites independent study or use in related fields requiring an understanding of instrumentation and measurements.
