Mechanical Measurements/Механические измерения

Издание на английском языке
The book contains many worked examples that will help the reader understand the basic principles involved. I have provided a large number of problems, at the end of the book, arranged module wise. These problems have appeared in the examination papers that I have set for students in my classes over the years. The problems highlight the kind of numerics that are involved in practical situations. Even though the text is intended to be an undergraduate textbook it should interest practicing engineers or anyone who may need to perform measurements as a part of his professional activity!
I place the book in the hands of the interested reader in the hope that he will find it interesting and worth his while. The reader should not be content with a study of the book that contains a large number of line drawings that represent instruments. He should spend time in the laboratory and learn how to make measurements in the real world full of hardware!
