Title:

E0005, Physics and Instrumentation

Institution:

University of Southern Queensland, Australia

Level:

Diploma, degree.

Description:

This unit seeks to revise basic physics and develop an understanding of stress, strain and elastic properties and transducers that may be used in the measurement of these and other physical properties, such as pressure, density and temperature. The use of strain gauges, in conjunction with a Wheatstone Bridge, is covered in some detail as an example of a versatile transducer. System performance in terms of static and dynamic response and the influence of environmental factors is discussed in relation to making measurements that are sufficient for practical purposes.

Assessment is by assignments and end of semester examination.
