Introduction to experimental methods, sensors, and computer-aided data acquisition with emphasis on mechanical and aerospace engineering applications. Statistical methods for the analysis of data from experiments. Survey of transducers and measurement methods for a broad range of phenomena significant for mechanical and aerospace engineers. Particular emphasis will be given to oral and written communication of experimental results. Laboratories experiments will give students hands-on experience with instrumentation and modern computer-aided data acquisition methods.
The course deals with basic statistics, design of experiments, uncertainty and error analysis general characteristics of measurement systems, statistical analysis of experimental data, empirical modeling, experimental uncertainty analysis, as well as guidelines for planning and documenting experiments. Illustrative examples from industry and case studies of planned engineering experiments.
