MJ2482 Measurement Techniques in Aeromechanics 6.0 credits

The course intends to give an overview of measuring techniques that are used in the field of aeromechanics and the research area with regard to new and future methods of measurement.

In several engineering projects, more or less complex tests are carried out. To set up experiment concepts, plan instrumentation, carry out measurements and evaluate measurement results are crucial stages in that. To be able to guarantee high quality of measurement results, the planner must know advantages and disadvantages of different technologies to be able to choose the most suited the technology within budgetary limits.

After completing the course with a passing grade the student should be able to:

1. Develop an experiment plan
2. Present measurement result with measurement uncertainty
3. Describe measurement principles of measurement of temperature, pressure and flow and be able to choose appropriate experimental equipment for the measurement purpose
4. Describe measurement principles of unsteady measurements of pressure and vibrations and be able to choose appropriate experimental equipment for the measurement purpose
5. Condense time-resolved measurements and extract relevant results

If the course is discontinued, students may request to be examined during the following two academic years.

• INL1 - Assignment1, 0.5 credits, grading scale: P, F
• INL2 - Assignment2, 0.5 credits, grading scale: P, F
• LAB1 - Laboratory exercise 1, 0.5 credits, grading scale: P, F
• LAB2 - Laboratory exercise 2, 0.5 credits, grading scale: P, F
• TEN1 - Written exam 1, 2.0 credits, grading scale: A, B, C, D, E, FX, F
• TEN2 - Written exam 2, 2.0 credits, grading scale: A, B, C, D, E, FX, F

Based on recommendation from KTH’s coordinator for disabilities, the examiner will decide how to adapt an examination for students with documented disability.

The examiner may apply another examination format when re-examining individual students.

Obsolete examination items will be assessed using supplementary tasks or complementary assignments during three years of time after the last course offering. Thereafter, the examination items according to the current official course syllabus, must be carried out.
