Materials Metrology and Standards for Structural Performance (1995)Hardcover - 1995, 31 October 1994

This is the first book devoted solely to the topic of materials metrology, the science underpinning the measurement of materials property data. State-of-the-art knowledge is presented concerning a variety of the more important measurement methods and testing standards that relate to the design and performance of consumer products, load-bearing structures and transport systems. With the current trend towards harmonization of testing standards on a worldwide basis, Materials Metrology and Standards for Structural Performance will prove invaluable to a wide audience, from testing-machine manufacturers to researchers in mechanical engineering and materials science and technology.
