Books by Keyword: Non-Contact Measurement

Description: Volume is indexed by Thomson Reuters CPCI-S (WoS).
The aim of this special collection is to bring together the expertise of scientists and engineers from universities and industry who work in the fields of Structural Health Monitoring, Non-Destructive Evaluation and Condition Monitoring. Networking between diagnostic systems designers and system users is crucial to the successful operation of many SHM systems. The study of damage detection, localization and assessment are important to the rapidly growing area of SHM.

Description: This special collection focuses on measurement science and metrology: micro- and nano- measurements; novel measurement methods and diagnostic technologies, including non-destructive and dimensional inspection, optical and X-ray tomography and interferometry, terahertz technologies for science, industry and biomedicine, intelligent measuring instruments and systems for industry and transport, measurements of geometrical and mechanical quantities, measurements and metrology for humanitarian fields and education in measurement science.

Description: The requirements of high precision and of high-quality components and devices in meeting the needs of modern industry and society in disciplines such as semiconductors, optics, nanotechnology, MEMS, manufacturing, biomedical and environmental engineering, make measurement technology and intelligent instruments (which sense, measure and report), more important than ever, and essential for the rapid development of information technology. Following the lead of the previous five publications (1989, 1993, 1996, 1998, 2001) in the series, “Measurement Technology and Intelligent Instruments”, this book presents the most recent advances in this important field. In all, 123 papers were contributed from many regions of the world; including China, Taiwan (China), Japan, Russia, Hong Kong (China), Germany, Australia, Austria, Canada, Korea, Poland, Slovakia and the UK and US.
