reports in applied measurement
reports in applied measurement is an in-depth journal on measurement technology comprising articles submitted by independent authors.
RAM has a tradition going back to the mid-1960s.
It is edited by Dr. Martin Stockmann from the Institute of Mechanics at the University of Chemnitz, Germany. It is issued twice yearly in English and German exclusively on our website.
