The new measure of excellence


Now revised to reflect the latest standards and advances, Figliola and Beasley's Fourth Edition provides a timely and in-depth reference to the theory of engineering measurements, measurement system performance, and instrumentation. The authors show you how to develop, operate, and analyze measurement systems and report results. The text covers uncertainty analysis and mechanical measurements in one unified presentation, introducing you to the most powerful experimental tools available.

Features of the Fourth Edition:
* Updated to reflect the newest ASME/ASNI Test Uncertainty nomenclature and ISO vocabulary.
* Expanded treatment of mechatronics concepts (Chapter 12, Appendix C).
* More practical use of operational amplifiers in discussion of signal conditioning circuits.
* Labview files for self-tutorials on critical concepts and Matlab files for system analyses are available for download on the text's website. www.wiley.com/college/figliola
* Updated and revised problem sets, with an emphasis on design considerations.

A must have for anyone starting out as an experimentalist 2007-03-07
I would recommend this book to every beginning engineer and experimentalist. The book is full of examples, derivations, and lots of questions. It does require that you actually read it to get anything out of it, but the best feature is the online material, with MATLAB programs, videos, and additional material. I have found this book is very enjoyable to teach out of, and given future opportunities I will use it much more.


useful engineering text 2006-02-14
This book is well written but it does require that you pay attention and think. I found this book to be very useful to understand engineering measurements. After three engineering coop internships, I enjoyed some rationale for methods I learned in practice. Lots of examples. Some of the Labview programs were helpful. One of the more useful texts.



mistakes 2006-01-29
By the middle of the second chapter I realised that a monkey proofread this book. I couldnt believe there were as many stupid mistakes as there actually were.
Buy it only if you're not actually going to read it.


Test engineers need this one 2000-11-18
I used the 2nd edition of this book while in engineering labs at Clemson and now use the 2nd and now 3rd edition in my test engineering work. I find myself being able to go into it and pulling out enough information to get me going on a new test design project. The stuff on uncertainty cannot be found elsewhere and useful. One of the better real-world texts.


This book is not good! 2000-03-22
Don't invest your money. The content of this book is very intermittent.
