Quantitative Evaluation of Measurement Uncertainty: Theory and Practice provides comprehensive coverage of dynamic, direct, indirect, and combined measurements, giving a complete perspective on measurement uncertainty. It features pioneering approaches to evaluating uncertainty in dynamic measurements.
Responding to the critical need for standardized approaches to uncertainty evaluation, this book provides a clear pathway to ensuring that measurement results include properly calculated uncertainty intervals with genuine coverage probabilities. With detailed practical examples spanning physics, chemistry, electrical engineering, and mechanical engineering, readers will gain a thorough understanding of both statistical and non-statistical methodologies for uncertainty analysis.
Bridging theoretical principles with practical applications, this book will provide engineers, researchers, and graduate students with the essential tools to assess and communicate measurement uncertainty with confidence.
Table of Contents:
1. Concept of evaluating measurement result uncertainty. 2. Varieties of measurement uncertainty. 3. Evaluation of research results based on the concept of measurement uncertainty. 4. Practical recommendations and examples of evaluating uncertainty components. 5. Uncertainty in Dynamic Measurements. 6. Evaluation of trueness and precision of laboratory test results.
