Experimental Methods for Engineers

Mcgraw-Hill Series in Mechanical Engineering

by Jack P. Holman

This book offers the broadest range of experimental measurement techniques available for mechanical and general engineering application. The text emphasizes the use of uncertainty analysis and statistical data analysis in estimating the accuracy of measurements. Key Features: Emphasizes on experimental uncertainties as essential elements, experiment design, execution, and instrument selection. Chapter on "Design of Experiments" integrates the discussions of the text to offer an overall protocol for experiment design. Expanded treatment of data analysis and use of trend lines and correlations. Emphasizes on experimental uncertainties as essential elements, experiment design, execution, and instrument selection.
