Course content
Introduction to the measurement in physical technologies: thermo-mechanical quantities and properties, physical technologies and thermo-mechanical processes, objectives and tools of research - direct and computational experiment, measurement principles and sources of errors. General tasks of measurement and experiment: foundations of measuring, standards and calibration, error and uncertainty, measuring system specification, measuring system design, elements of measuring systems. Contact measurement of temperatures. Noncontact measurement of temperature fields. Measurement of heat fluxes and heat transfer coefficients. Measurement of thermal and optical properties of materials. Strain and residual stress measurement. Measurement applications in various technologies of material surface processing.
