Aims :

The course will provide the theoretical knowledge and "hands on" experience on the use of the instrumentation for engineering measurements (mechanic, thermal, fluodynamic).

Topics :

Generalized performance characteristics of instruments: static and dynamic characteristics; concepts of signal analysis; experimental determination of measurement-system parameters.
Measuring devices for: displacement, deformation, solid body velocity, local flow velocity, acceleration, gross volume flow velocity, force, pressure, sound intensity, temperature, heat-flux.
Data manipulation, transmission, record and elaboration with laboratory applications.
Standard Testing: Study and use of measurements in standard testing. Examples of installations and machines testing. Experimental test of the machine components performances related to the design specifications.

Exam :

The course is developed in theoretical lessons and exercises in the labs. The student has to write reports concerning the exercises developed in the lab. The development of an experimental work concerning one of the course subjects, will be considered favourable.
The examination consists in a written exam and an oral discussion of the exercises, the subjects of the course and the possible experimental work.

Tutorial Session :

After the end of the lesson.
