Summary
Sensors are used to measure physical, chemical and biological quantities. The book offers a comprehensive overview of physical principles, functions and applications of sensors. It is structured according to the fields of activity of sensors and shows their application by means of typical examples. Measured variables that can be recorded by sensors are e.g. mechanical, dynamic, thermal, electrical and magnetic. Furthermore, optical and acoustical sensors are discussed in detail in the book. The sensor signals are recorded, processed and converted into control signals for actuators. Such sensor systems are also presented. This book is a translation of the original German 2nd edition Sensoren in Wissenschaft und Technik by Ekbert Hering, published by Springer Fachmedien Wiesbaden GmbH, part of Springer Nature in 2017. The translation was done with the help of artificial intelligence (machine translation by the service DeepL.com). A subsequent human revision was done primarily in terms of content, so that the book will read stylistically differently from a conventional translation. Springer Nature works continuously to further the development of tools for the production of books and on the related technologies to support the authors. The Content Fundamentals of sensor systems · Physical effects for sensor use · Measured variables that can be recorded by sensors · Mechanical measured variables · Thermal measured variables · Electrical and magnetic measured variables · Optical measured variables · Acoustic measured variables · Climatic and meterological measured variables · Chemical measured variables · Biological and medical measured variables The Target Groups " Engineers and natural scientists in practice " Students and lecturers at universities " Experts in the field of sensor technology The Authors Prof. Dr. Dr. Ekbert Hering has been teaching physics, electronics, photonics and business administration at Aalen University since 1971. He was rector of the university, served on various supervisory boards and was the author of 70 textbooks, 45 of which were published by Springer Vieweg. Dr.-Ing. Gert Schönfelder received his doctorate in digital measurement technology. He worked in the field of computer architecture, image-based measurement technology (stereo) and system design of cameras and measurement technology. Since 8 years he is head of development at a manufacturer of pressure sensors.
