Strain-Based Measurement Introduction:Applications Note 1-2:What is Applications Engineering?The simple Funk and WagnallÕs definition of the meaning of ÒApplicationÓ isas follows: 1. ÒThe act of applyingÓ 2. ÒCapacity of being used; relevance, asof a theoryÓ 3. ÒClose AttentionÓ; as in application to oneÕs bookÓ.The definition of ÒEngineeringÓ: ÒThe art and science concerned with the practicalapplication of scientific knowledge, as in the design, construction, andoperation of roads, bridges, harbors, buildings, machinery, lighting, and communicationssystems etc.ÓThe additional definition of the meaning of the word ÒArtÓ is also appropriateas: ÒAny system of rules and principles that facilitates skilled human accomplishment:also the application of these rules and principles.ÓThe above definitions are not comprehensive but are a subset of the definitionsmost suited to this discussion. Applications Engineering is the Òdown in thetrenchesÓ real-world application of a technology for practical purposes.Applications Engineering is an art, consistent with the above definition, in thatit is the assimilation and distillation of a multitude of realities regarding thelimitations and physics of the world around us and the use of imperfect materialsand processes to effect the practical and useful implementation of a technology.All that we know of the machines and processes that we create is provided by meansof sensors that are subject to the imperfections and physical limitations of the worldwe live in. This knowledge is imperfect where the difference between the truth andperception is error. - JPThe objective of Applications Engineering, with respect to sensors, is to minimizethe difference between the perception and the truth, given the physicalconstraints and the environmental conditions within which the sensor mustoperate.CHAPTER 1-6 The Art of Practical and Precise Strain Based Measurement 2nd Edition © 1999
Applications Note 1-2:The Art of Applications Engineering, as described in the ensuing text, is the resultof a collection of experiences in measurement over many years and for many variedmeasurement environments. A preliminary review of the entire text will familiarizethe reader with many of the concepts contained herein, where the details canbe studied in depth on an as-required basis for various measurements and environmentsas they are encountered in practice.The Art of Practical and Precise Strain Based Measurement 2nd Edition © 1999 CHAPTER 1-7
