Preface
This book presents a comprehensive treatise of various operational principles,
scientic tools, technical methodologies, and qualitative/quantitative characteristics
involved in the scientic world. It is comprised four sections: (i) mechanical testing
to reveal information about a material’s mechanical properties under dynamic or
static forces, (ii) metrological investigations involved to observe the geometrical and
structural integrity of the engineering products using optical and analogue calipers,
(iii) characterization of the engineering products using spectroscopic tools, and
(iv)routine observations that play a ...
