Prerequisites
Knowledge of main measurement techniques for mechanical and thermal quantities and of static and dynamic performance of measurement instrumentation.
Learning outcomes
KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING:The course illustrates advanced instrumentation for mechanical and thermal measures, for process and quality control and product development, with particular reference to measurement techniques without contact, optical and acoustic. The student at the end of the course will know the principles of operation of complex measurement systems, including laser Doppler anemometry Particle Image Velocimetry, laser Doppler vibrometry, thermal imaging cameras and infrared sensors, acoustic measuring techniques (intensimetry acoustics and beam forming)
CAPACITY TO APPLY KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING:The student will be educated through lectures and laboratory exercises to the use of complex measurement systems for experimental research, product development, testing machines and equipment, quality control and diagnosis of systems, products and processes
TRANSVERSAL SKILLS:The student will be trained to the use of complex measurement systems in different application contexts, both engineering that of other experimental disciplines
