Instrumentation, Measurements, and Control
The principles of measurements are presented and instruments for measuring loads, pressures, volume changes, and linear deformations are reviewed. The working principles of electrical instruments are explained. Instrument performance characteristics are reviewed. Gage lengths for axial deformations are recommended, and linear deformations may be measured using dial gages, clip gages, linear variable differential transformers (LVDTs), proximity devices, inclinometer gages, and Hall effect gages. Requirements for volume change measurements are reviewed and the operation principles for different types of devices are presented. Calibration techniques are presented for all types of measurements. Data acquisition and test control are also discussed.
