Now in its fourth edition, this successful book provides readers with an in-depth introduction to the theory of engineering measurements, measurement system performance, and instrumentation. Emphasis is placed on the use of uncertainty analysis in the design of measurement systems and the statistical nature of engineering variables. Readers will also gain a better understanding of concepts related to system behavior, sampling, and spectral analysis while utilizing the new interactive CD-ROM.

2.0 out of 5 stars
Riddled with Errors,
By Dr. Engineer (Tulsa, OK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Theory and Design for Mechanical Measurements (Hardcover)
While this book is fairly comprehensive and covers most of the material in a complete course on experimental design and analysis it is riddled with errors. There are at least three or four significant misprints in each chapter (most of the most egregious are in the statistics chapter).
I have been using this book to teach a junior level course to mechanical engineers and will not be using it any more. The mistakes really confuse and frustrate the students.

A must have for anyone starting out as an experimentalist,
By
This review is from: Theory and Design for Mechanical Measurements (Hardcover)
I would recommend this book to every beginning engineer and experimentalist. The book is full of examples, derivations, and lots of questions. It does require that you actually read it to get anything out of it, but the best feature is the online material, with MATLAB programs, videos, and additional material. I have found this book is very enjoyable to teach out of, and given future opportunities I will use it much more.

Test engineers need this one,
By A Customer
This review is from: Theory and Design for Mechanical Measurements, 3rd Edition (Hardcover)
I used the 2nd edition of this book while in engineering labs at Clemson and now use the 2nd and now 3rd edition in my test engineering work. I find myself being able to go into it and pulling out enough information to get me going on a new test design project. The stuff on uncertainty cannot be found elsewhere and useful. One of the better real-world texts.
