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.

Textbooks :

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 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.
