Water Quality Engineering: Physical and Chemical Treatment Processes

- Bridges the gap between the mathematical and conceptual understanding of treatment systems

Strain Measurements and Stress Analysis

The authors realized that there are currently no books in the marketplace that include sufficient solved examples, along with the ability to cover theories of experimental technique, in such a way as to promote self-teaching by the reader. The authors’ objective is to allow the reader to review the materials before stepping into a laboratory situation. Chapters are written in a very concise, easily understandable manner and features the inclusion of ample solved equations, designed to test the understanding of featured topics. Chapter topics include: Stress, Strain, and Stress-Strain Relationships; Metal-Foil Resistance Strain Gages; Strain Gage Circuitry, Transducers, and Data Analysis; Photoelasticity; Photoelasticity-Coating Method; Geometric Moiré Techniques in Strain Analysis; Holographic Interferometry; and Computer Data Acquisition and Control Systems. For self-study in Experimental Stress Analysis.
