Riassunto

Figliola and Beasley’s 6th edition of Theory and Design forMechanical Measurements provides a time-tested and respectedapproach to the theory of engineering measurements.  Anemphasis on the role of statistics and uncertainty analysis in themeasuring process makes this text unique. While the measurementsdiscipline is very broad, careful selection of topical coverage,establishes the physical principles and practical techniques forquantifying many engineering variables that have multipleengineering applications.  

In the sixth edition, Theory and Design for Mechanical Measurementscontinues to emphasize the conceptual design framework forselecting and specifying equipment, test procedures andinterpreting test results. Coverage of topics, applications anddevices has been updated—including information on dataacquisition hardware and communication protocols, infrared imaging,and microphones. New examples that illustrate either case studiesor interesting vignettes related to the application of measurementsin current practice are introduced.

L'autore:

Richard Figliola is Professor of Mechanical Engineering and Bioengineering at Clemson University. He has served previously as Department Chair. In 2011, he received the Class of 1939 Award for Excellence, Clemson University's highest faculty award. A Fellow of ASME, he serves on the ASME PTC 19.1 - the National Committee on Experimental Test Uncertainty. Dr. Figliola has published extensively in the area of fluid and thermal transport and many of his publications discuss novel measurement methods. He is senior author of an engineering measurements textbook that is now its 5th edition. He holds 5 patents and has engineered several successful commercial products. He has a background in aerospace and heat transfer, which still occupy part of his research as they relate to air vehicle systems integration and uncertainty analysis. His research in biofluid mechanics involves experimental patient-specific models to better understand the hemodynamics associated with right heart congenital defects and single ventricle physiology. Since, January 2010 he has served as the US leader of the Leducq Foundation Transatlantic Network  focused on Single Ventricle Heart Defects, which involves 8 engineering and clinical centers in the US and Europe. His recent work is supported by the Leducq Foundation, NIH, National Science Foundation, and the US Air Force.

Donald Beasley received his PhD from University of Michigan in 1983. He joined the faculty in Mechanical Engineering at Clemson University the same year. Dr. Beasley's research interests are in the areas of fluid mechanics and heat transfer, including flow and heat transfer in rod bundles, multiphase flows, as well as the application of nonlinear dynamics and chaos in the thermal fluid sciences. He has more than 100 refereed conference and journal papers, and is co-author of a leading textbook in instrumentation and measurements. Dr. Beasley is a Fellow of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers and an ABET program evaluator. He serves as Chair, K-8 Technical Committee of the ASME Heat Transfer Division: Theory and Fundamental Research.
