THIS handbook came into being following a recommendation in 1976 by the Technical
Committee for Higher Education of the International Measurement Confederation. Peter
Sydenham was appointed project manager. As two volumes of the book are now in our …

This book covers a very wide range of temperature measurement apparatus and techniques
including those relevant to industry, and it deals with some of the corrections that are
needed in non-ideal situations. As well as dealing with all the standard instruments, eg …

This review describes recent advances in the use of nano-particles (NPs) for analytical
measurements. Over the past decade, the field of nanotechnology has undergone
tremendous developments, resulting in new procedures for the controlled synthesis of a …

Measurement activities in advanced industrial countries are estimated to account for
somewhere between 3% and 6% of a country's Gross National Product. A well-founded
National Measurement System is crucial to economic well-being and the quality of life for all …

Additive Manufacturing is increasingly used in the development of new products: from
conceptual design to functional parts and tooling. However, today, variability in part quality
due to inadequate dimensional tolerances, surface roughness, and defects, limits its broader …

The topic of this article is a review of the approach to extract pressure fields from flow
velocity field data, typically obtained with particle image velocimetry (PIV), by combining the
experimental data with the governing equations. Although the basic working principles on …

If you search the web formeasurement uncertainty', you will obtain a list of some 14500
items. This confirms, if necessary, the pervasiveness of this concept. Curiously, I am not
aware of a scientific book specifically devoted to the evaluation of the measurement  …

The sole of the foot acts as the interface between the ground and the body and is subjected
to changing patterns of stress. These stresses will be accompanied by temporary or
permanent strains within the tissues and may therefore be linked with those foot conditions …

As a practical and effective tool for quantitative in-plane deformation measurement of a
planar object surface, two-dimensional digital image correlation (2D DIC) is now widely
accepted and commonly used in the field of experimental mechanics. It directly provides full …

This is the second edition of a text first published in 1994, which had its origin in a volume of
course notes published for a series of workshops on temperature measurement and
calibration that took place in the 1980s in New Zealand. In the first edition, the authors set …
