Integrating physical modeling, mathematical analysis, and
computer simulation, Instrumentation Design Studies explores a wide
variety of specific and practical instrumentation design
situations. The author uses MATLAB? and SIMULINK? for dynamic
system simulation, Minitab? for statistical applications, and
Mathcad for general engineering computations. Rather than consult
the extensive manuals of these software packages, readers can
access handy, sharply focused material in the appendices to assist
in comprehension.
After introducing the techniques behind the design of
experiments (DOE), the book discusses several technologies for
implementing vibration isolation, the design of a high-accuracy
pressure transducer, and the use of cold-wire thermometers for
measuring rapidly fluctuating fluid temperatures. It then focuses
on a basic piezoelectric actuator that provides translational
motions up to about 1mm full scale with nanometer resolution,
before covering instruments used to measure the viscosity of
liquids as well as two special classes of microphones (infrasonic
and ultrasonic) and their important specialized applications. The
book also presents statistical tools, such as hypothesis testing
and confidence intervals, for experiments; the design and
applications of thrust stands for measuring vector forces and
torques; and the analysis and simulation of a shock calibrator. It
concludes with a discussion of how shock testing machines can help
reduce or prevent mechanical failures.
Spanning system dynamics, measurement, and control, this book
addresses the needs of practicing engineers working in
instrumentation fields. It focuses on instruments for various
applications, from geophysics to mechanical and aerospace
engineering.
