Mechatronics has evolved into a way of life in engineering
practice, and it pervades virtually every aspect of the modern
world. In chapters drawn from the bestselling and now standard
engineering reference, The Mechatronics Handbook, this book
introduces the vibrant field of mechatronics and its key elements:
physical system modeling; sensors and actuators; signals and
systems; computers and logic systems; and software and data
acquisition. These chapters, written by leading academics and
practitioners, were carefully selected and organized to provide an
accessible, general outline of the subject ideal for
non-specialists. Mechatronics: An Introduction first defines and
organizes the key elements of mechatronics, exploring design
approach, system interfacing, instrumentation, control systems, and
microprocessor-based controllers and microelectronics. It then
surveys physical system modeling, introducing MEMS along with
modeling and simulation. Coverage then moves to essential elements
of sensors and actuators, including characteristics and
fundamentals of time and frequency, followed by control systems and
subsystems, computer hardware, logic, system interfaces,
communication and computer networking, data acquisition, and
computer-based instrumentation systems. Clear explanations and
nearly 200 illustrations help bring the subject to life. Providing
a broad overview of the fundamental aspects of the field,
Mechatronics: An Introduction is an ideal primer for those new to
the field, a handy review for those already familiar with the
technology, and a friendly introduction for anyone who is curious
about mechatronics.
