Now that modern machinery and electromechanical devices are
typically being controlled using analog and digital electronics and
computers, the technologies of mechanical engineering in such a
system can no longer be isolated from those of electronic and
computer engineering. Mechatronics: A Foundation Course applies a
unified approach to meet this challenge, developing an
understanding of the synergistic and concurrent use of mechanics,
electronics, computer engineering, and intelligent control systems
for everything from modeling and analysis to design,
implementation, control, and integration of smart electromechanical
products.
This book explains the fundamentals of integrating different
types of components and functions, both mechanical and electrical,
to achieve optimal operation that meets a desired set of
performance specifications. This integration will benefit
performance, efficiency, reliability, cost, and environmental
impact. With useful features that distinguish it from other
comparable books, this solid learning tool:
- Prioritizes readability and convenient reference
- Develops and presents key concepts and formulas, summarizing
them in windows, tables, and lists in a user-friendly format
- Includes numerous worked examples, problems, and exercises
related to real-life situations and the practice of
mechatronics
- Describes and employs MATLAB(r), Simulink(r), LabVIEW(r), and
associated toolboxes, providing various illustrative examples for
their use
- Explores the limitations of available software tools and
teaches the reader how to choose proper tools to solve a given
problem and interpret and assess the validity of the results
The text conveys the considerable experience that author
Clarence de Silva gained from teaching mechatronics at the graduate
and professional levels, as well as from his time working in
industry for organizations such as IBM, Westinghouse Electric, and
NASA. It systematically and seamlessly incorporates many different
underlying engineering fundamentals into analytical methods,
modeling approaches, and design techniques for mechatronics-all in
a single resource
