Course details

Principles of Mechanical Measurements is a foundational course that introduces the concepts, methods, and instruments used to measure physical quantities in mechanical systems with accuracy and reliability. The course emphasizes the science of measurement, including standards, calibration, accuracy, precision, sensitivity, and error analysis. Learners gain an understanding of how mechanical quantities such as displacement, velocity, force, torque, pressure, strain, temperature, and vibration are measured using mechanical, electrical, and electronic transducers. The subject also covers data acquisition systems, signal conditioning, dynamic characteristics of measuring instruments, and the interpretation of experimental data. By integrating theory with practical measurement techniques, this course equips participants with the ability to select appropriate instruments, conduct experiments, analyze results, and apply measurement principles effectively in engineering design, testing, and research applications.
