Mechanical Measurements / Thomas G. Beckwith, Roy D. Marangoni and John H. Lienhard V - 6th Ed. - New Delhi Pearson 2016 - 759p. : ill. ; 25cm
It includes Index.
This much-anticipated revision to the definitive mechanical measurements text continues to set the standard. Emphasizing precision and clarity, the authors cover fundamental issues common to all areas of measurement in Part One, then present individual chapters on applied areas of measurement in Part Two. The text's modular format makes it accessible to undergraduate students of most engineering disciplines, particularly mechanical engineering, aerospace engineering, and engineering technology.
