Fundamentals of industrial instrumentation
This textbook provides a fundamental background in the theory of industrial instrumentation and establishes the physical principles and practical techniques used to measure those quantities most important for instrumentation applications. Formulas and equations for sensors are derived from first principle. Enhanced with additional problems and solutions, this book is essential reading for students needing a complete overview of the physical principles and practical techniques used to measure industrial process parameters and how they are applied, together with powerful computational methods in an ever-evolving industry. Two sets of objective questions and keys are also provided. This comprehensive text will provide students and recent graduates with the knowledge to design and build measurement systems for industrial processes.

Introduction to Sensors for Electrical and Mechanical Engineers
Sensors are all around us. They are in phones, cars, planes, trains, robots, mils, lathes, packaging lines, chemical plants, power plants, etc. Modern technology could not exist without sensors. The sensors measure what we need to know and the control system then performs the desired actions. When an engineer builds any machine he or she needs to have basic understanding about sensors. Correct sensors need to be selected for the design right from the start. The designer needs to think about the ranges, required accuracy, sensor cost, wiring, correct installation and placement etc. Without the basic knowledge of sensors fundamental no machine can be built successfully today.
The objective of this book is to provide the basic knowledge to electrical and mechanical engineers, engineering students and hobbyist from the field of sensors to help them with the selection of “proper” sensors for their designs. No background knowledge in electrical engineering is required, all the necessary basics are provided. The book explains how a sensor works, in what ranges it can be used, with what accuracy etc. It also provides examples of industrial application for selected sensors.
The book covers all the major variables in mechanical engineering such as temperature, force, torque, pressure, humidity, position, speed, acceleration etc.
The approach is always as follows:
Explain how the sensor works, what is the principle
Explain in what ranges and with what accuracy it can work
Describe its properties with charts, eventually equations
Give examples of such sensors including application examples

Electrical impedance tomography for tactile imaging
Electrical impedance tomography (EIT) is a technique employed in tactile sensing to create an image of impedance changes within a continuous sensor using electrodes placed only at the perimeter. This is advantageous for soft sensing 'e-skins' being developed for applications such as robotics and human-machine interactions. EIT was originally developed for medical diagnostics and has more recently been adopted for tactile imaging, which has distinct requirements and challenges. This book explains the fundamentals of EIT at a basic level, without requiring a high level of mathematical expertise, making it an accessible text for students and newcomers to the field. It also covers applications and challenges of the method, recent developments, and practical implications. Part of IOP Series in Sensors and Sensor Systems.
