I WÉ ¦1 ¦ É HANDBOOK OF MEASUREMENT SCIENCE Volume 2 Practical Fundamentals Edited by Peter H. Sydenham School of Electronic Engineering South Australian Institute of Technology Pooraka, South Australia In recent decades it has become clear that there are certain underlying principles which are relevant to all measurement systems, regardless of their applications. The aim of this Handbook is to describe these fundamental principles and the contents are structured according to the sequence in which the system is first conceived, designed, manufactured, installed, and maintained. The fundamentals relating to theoretical design principles are described in Volume 1 Theoretical Fundamentals, and material concerned with more specific design, application, and maintenance of measurement systems is covered in this book (Volume 2).

I WÉ ¦1 ¦ É HANDBOOK OF MEASUREMENT SCIENCE Volume 2 Practical Fundamentals Edited by Peter H. Sydenham School of Electronic Engineering South Australian Institute of Technology Pooraka, South Australia In recent decades it has become clear that there are certain underlying principles which are relevant to all measurement systems, regardless of their applications. The aim of this Handbook is to describe these fundamental principles and the contents are structured according to the sequence in which the system is first conceived, designed, manufactured, installed, and maintained. The fundamentals relating to theoretical design principles are described in Volume 1 Theoretical Fundamentals, and material concerned with more specific design, application, and maintenance of measurement systems is covered in this book (Volume 2). The contributors, who are world experts in their particular fields, have produced extensively illustrated chapters which combine to form a carefully structured and co-ordinated approach to the subject. This reference work is aimed at all scientists in both industrial and academic life since measurement systems are used in all disciplines. However, it is of particular interest to electrical, mechanical, and control engineers both at the student level and for practising technicians. About the editor- Peter Sydenham is a member of the Higher Education Committee of the International Measurement Confederation IMEKO and of the Education Committee of the National Conference of Standards Laboratories (NCSL) of the USA. He is State Chairman of the Institute of Instrumentation and Control, Australia (IICA), a Director of the Australian Scientific Industry Association (ASIA) and Fellow of the Institute of Measurement and Control, London. His special interest is defining and establishing measurement systems as a discipline, this work being a contribution to that end. His work has been pubiished widely both in books and journals and he is currently Professor and Head of the School of Electronic Engineering at the South Australian Institute of Technology. Vissza
