Features: This book is a classic textbook on the theory and application of non-electrical measurements used in American universities. It is divided into two parts. Part 1 covers the fundamental theory of mechanical quantity measurement, including measurement standards and units, evaluation of experimental data, time and frequency domain descriptions of the measured quantity, response of test systems, sensors, signal conditioning, and the recording, display, and processing of signals. Part 2 focuses on the application techniques of different mechanical quantity measurements, including event counting, displacement and dimensions, stress, strain, force and torque, flow, temperature, motion, and acoustics. This book can serve as a textbook for non-electrical measurement studies in universities for majors such as mechanical engineering, instrumentation, measurement and control, and automation. It can also be used as a reference for relevant science and engineering technicians.
