MISURE MECCANICHE E TERMICHE

The course aims to provide the basic measurement knowledge and an accurate analysis of the transducers. Both static and dynamic analysis of the measurement setup performance is carried out. The main types of transducers are analyzed in detail with the discussion of the metrological parameters. The student engineer will be instructed on the most significant measuring devices and the detection methods of the main mechanical and thermal quantities. The course also includes practical exercises either in the classroom or in the laboratory with examples of the use of sensors and data analysis.

First part of the course includes an introduction to metrology and the analysis of measurement errors. Then, the main electronic terminal instruments to be used in mechanical and thermal measurements are analyzed. The last part of the course deals with the measurements of the main quantities. During the course, classroom exercises and laboratory tests will be carried out.

Logical foundations of the measuring operations. Quantity and measurement concepts. Units of measurement systems. Measurement systems theory. Statistical analysis for a posteriori evaluation of uncertainties. Static and dynamic performance of the instruments. Analog circuits and instruments. Measurement of the main mechanical and thermal quantities.
