Product Description: Saturation nonlinearities are ubiquitous in engineering systems. In control systems, every physical actuator or sensor is subject to saturation owing to its maximum and minimum limits. A digital filter is subject to saturation if it is implemented in a finite word length format...read more

Product Description: This best-selling book removes the mystery in building scientific apparatus. It shows how the practicing scientist can capitalize on new and unfamiliar technologies without first acquiring an engineering education in each field. The mechanical, electronic, and optical aspects of most apparatus are reviewed in the construction, selection, specification, and procurement of many important components and are described in a clear, simple manner, making use of hundreds of illustrations...read more

Product Description: by Professor Pat McKeown Cranfield Precision Engineering, UK Member of Joint Organising Committee IPES6/UME2 PROGRESS IN PRECISION ENGINEERING Metal working companies in tool making, prototype manu­ facture and subcontract machining often use the label "precision engineering" to indicate that they are accustomed to working to finer tolerances than is normally expected in series production...read more

Product Description: Powder technology is a subject in its own right, and powder characterization is central to an understanding of this discipline. In the eight years since the printing of the third edition of Particle Size Measurement there have been two big changes in my life...read more

Whether you're designing a new instrumentation and control (IandC) system, or migrating an existing control system along an upgrade path, you need to have a well-conceived design package - the engineering deliverables and the design process that creates them. this book describes the perfect design package and delves into the business of design engineering. It provides you with a roadmap to understanding the design process, the elements of a successful project, the specific issues to address in a well designed IandC systems, and the engineering products that enable practical design and successful maintenance. As nearly USD 65 billion worth of automation systems near the end of their traditional life cycle, the necessity of understanding the design process has never been more critical to engineers, technicians, and managers. Successful Instrumentation and Control Systems will help you achieve that understanding. (+ VAT on UK Orders)

Product Description: Industrial radiography is a well-established non-destructive testing (NDT) method in which the basic principles were established many years ago. However, during 1993-95 the European Standards Organisa­ tion (CEN) commenced drafting many new standards on NDT including radiographic methods, and when completed these will replace national standards in all the EC member countries...read more

This title presents the general principles of instrumentationprocesses. It explains the theoretical analysis of physicalphenomena used by standard sensors and transducers to transform aphysical value into an electrical signal. The pre-processing ofthese signals through electronic circuits – amplification,signal filtering and analog-to-digital conversion – is thendetailed, in order to provide useful basic information. Attention is then given to general complex systems. Topicscovered include instrumentation and measurement chains, sensormodeling, digital signal processing and diagnostic methods and theconcept of smart sensors, as well as microsystem design andapplications. Numerous industrial examples punctuate thediscussion, setting the subjects covered in the book in theirpractical context.
