Covers experiment planning, execution, analysis, and reportingThis single-source resource guides readers in planning and conducting credible experiments for engineering, science, industrial processes, agriculture, and business. The text takes experimenters all the way through conducting a high-impact experiment, from initial conception, through execution of the experiment, to a defensible final report. It prepares the reader to anticipate the choices faced during each stage. Filled with real-world examples from engineering science and industry, Planning and Executing Credible Experiments: A Guidebook for Engineering, Science, Industrial Processes, Agriculture, and Business offers chapters that challenge experimenters at each stage of planning and execution and emphasizes uncertainty analysis as a design tool in addition to its role for reporting results. Tested over decades at Stanford University and internationally, the text employs two powerful, free, open-source software tools: GOSSET to optimize experiment design, and R for statistical computing and graphics. A website accompanies the text, providing additional resources and software downloads. A comprehensive guide to experiment planning, execution, and analysisLeads from initial conception, through the experiment' s launch, to final reportPrepares the reader to anticipate the choices faced throughout an experimentHones the motivating questionEmploys principles and techniques from Design of Experiments (DoE)Selects experiment designs to obtain the most information from fewer experimental runsOffers chapters that propose questions that an experimenter will need to ask and answer during each stage of planning and executionDemonstrates how uncertainty analysis guides and strengthens each stageIncludes examples from real-life industrial experimentsAccompanied by a website hosting open-source softwarePlanning and Executing Credible Experiments is an excellent resource for graduates and senior undergraduates-as well as professionals-across a wide variety of engineering disciplines.
ROBERT J. MOFFAT, PHD, is a Professor Emeritus of Mechanical Engineering at Stanford University. He proved engines for General Motors and is the former President of Moffat Thermosciences, Inc. His main areas of research include convective heat transfer in engineering systems, experimental methods in heat transfer and fluid mechanics, and biomedical thermal issues. ROY W. HENK, PHD, designed aerospace engine components and has conducted experimental tests in industry, a government lab and internationally. He has been a Professor in the USA, South Korea, and most notably at Kyoto University in Japan. His research includes experiment design, energy conversion, turbomachinery, and thermal fluid physics.
