Download or read book An Introduction to Uncertainty in Measurement written by L. Kirkup and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2006-06-01 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Measurement shapes scientific theories, characterises improvements in manufacturing processes and promotes efficient commerce. In concert with measurement is uncertainty, and students in science and engineering need to identify and quantify uncertainties in the measurements they make. This book introduces measurement and uncertainty to second and third year students of science and engineering. Its approach relies on the internationally recognised and recommended guidelines for calculating and expressing uncertainty (known by the acronym GUM). The statistics underpinning the methods are considered and worked examples and exercises are spread throughout the text. Detailed case studies based on typical undergraduate experiments are included to reinforce the principles described in the book. This guide is also useful to professionals in industry who are expected to know the contemporary methods in this increasingly important area. Additional online resources are available to support the book at www.cambridge.org/9780521605793.

Download or read book Uncertainty Calibration and Probability written by C.F Dietrich and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-12 with total page 554 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: All measurements are subject to error because no quantity can be known exactly; hence, any measurement has a probability of lying within a certain range. The more precise the measurement, the smaller the range of uncertainty. Uncertainty, Calibration and Probability is a comprehensive treatment of the statistics and methods of estimating these calibration uncertainties. The book features the general theory of uncertainty involving the combination (convolution) of non-Gaussian, student t, and Gaussian distributions; the use of rectangular distributions to represent systematic uncertainties; and measurable and nonmeasurable uncertainties that require estimation. The author also discusses sources of measurement errors and curve fitting with numerous examples of uncertainty case studies. Many useful tables and computational formulae are included as well. All formulations are discussed and demonstrated with the minimum of mathematical knowledge assumed. This second edition offers additional examples in each chapter, and detailed additions and alterations made to the text. New chapters consist of the general theory of uncertainty and applications to industry and a new section discusses the use of orthogonal polynomials in curve fitting. Focusing on practical problems of measurement, Uncertainty, Calibration and Probability is an invaluable reference tool for R&D laboratories in the engineering/manufacturing industries and for undergraduate and graduate students in physics, engineering, and metrology.

Download or read book Measurement A Very Short Introduction written by David J. Hand and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2016-09-29 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Measurement is a fundamental concept that underpins almost every aspect of the modern world. It is central to the sciences, social sciences, medicine, and economics, but it affects everyday life. We measure everything - from the distance of far-off galaxies to the temperature of the air, levels of risk, political majorities, taxes, blood pressure, IQ, and weight. The history of measurement goes back to the ancient world, and its story has been one of gradual standardization. Today there are different types of measurement, levels of accuracy, and systems of units, applied in different contexts. Measurement involves notions of variability, accuracy, reliability, and error, and challenges such as the measurement of extreme values. In this Very Short Introduction, David Hand explains the common mathematical framework underlying all measurement, the main approaches to measurement, and the challenges involved. Following a brief historical account of measurement, he discusses measurement as used in the physical sciences and engineering, the life sciences and medicine, the social and behavioural sciences, economics, business, and public policy. ABOUT THE SERIES: The Very Short Introductions series from Oxford University Press contains hundreds of titles in almost every subject area. These pocket-sized books are the perfect way to get ahead in a new subject quickly. Our expert authors combine facts, analysis, perspective, new ideas, and enthusiasm to make interesting and challenging topics highly readable.

Download or read book Metrology of Automated Tests written by Viacheslav Karmalita and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2020-04-06 with total page 121 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers an in-depth discussion related to metrological aspects of automated tests. The accuracy of experimental estimates of test object performance is examined from the standpoint of their statistical variance and systematic biases. The proposed metrological model of automated tests allows to determine the metrological characteristics of measurement means using data from their static and dynamic calibrations. Knowledge of these characteristics provides an ability to examine their impact on the accuracy of test results for the purposes of estimating statistical uncertainties caused by instrumentation errors and eliminating biases that occur as a consequence of inertial properties of measurement means. Optimization of requirements for measurement errors to ensure a given accuracy of test results is discussed as well. Proposed approaches and described methods are illustrated by test examples of turbomachinery products.
