Measurement Uncertainty SIG
- Chair: Francesca Romana Pennecchi
Millions of measuring instruments are verified each year before being placed on the markets worldwide. In the EU, such initial conformity assessments are regulated by the Measuring Instruments Directive (MID) and its modules F and F1 allow for statistical acceptance sampling.
This paper re-interprets the acceptance sampling conditions formulated by the MID in the formal framework of...
Coordinate metrology is a key technology supporting the quality infrastructure associated with manufacturing. Coordinate metrology can be thought of as a two-stage process, the first stage using a coordinate measuring machine (CMM) to gather coordinate data $\mathbf{x}_{1:m} = \{\mathbf{x}_i,i =1, \ldots,m\}$, related to a workpiece surface, the second extracting a set of parameters...
In modern metrology an exact specification of unknown characteristic values, such as shape parameters or material constants, is often not possible due to e.g. the ever decreasing size of the objects under investigation. Using non-destructive measurements and inverse problems is both an elegant and economical way to obtain the desired information while also providing the possibility to...
