A multidisciplinary reference of engineering measurement tools, techniques, and applications--Volume 2

-When you can measure what you are speaking about, and express it in numbers, you know something about it; but when you cannot measure it, when you cannot express it in numbers, your knowledge is of a meager and unsatisfactory kind; it may be the beginning of knowledge, but you have scarcely in your thoughts advanced to the stage of science.- -- Lord Kelvin

Measurement falls at the heart of any engineering discipline and job function. Whether engineers are...

This second volume of Mechanical Engineers' Handbook covers electronics, MEMS, and instrumentation and control, giving you accessible and in-depth access to the topics you'll encounter in the discipline: computer-aided design, product design for manufacturing and assembly, design optimization, total quality management in mechanical system design, reliability in the mechanical design process for sustainability, life-cycle design, design for remanufacturing processes, signal...

Nothing stays the same for ever. The environmental degradation and corrosion of materials is inevitable and affects most aspects of life. In industrial settings, this inescapable fact has very significant financial, safety and environmental implications.

The Handbook of Environmental Degradation of Materials explains how to measure, analyse, and control environmental degradation for a wide range of industrial materials including metals, polymers, ceramics, concrete, wood and textiles exposed to environmental factors such as weather, seawater, and fire. Divided into sections...

Thes broad treatment of the topic gives the book its relevance as a source of information for both theoretical fundamentals and real-world applications. Since Environmental engineering is a wide-ranging engineering discipline the contributions in the book include several major and more traditional academic disciplines, including civil, mechanical, chemical, and transportation engineering, as well as chemistry.

The handbook's pedagogical level is appropriate for practitioners, students and researchers. The sections of the book cover major environmental issues including:...
