Synopsis

Applied Mechatronics synthesizes the disciplines of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering to provide a comprehensive overview of the various technologies and tools used to develop mechatronic devices.

Co-written by Mechanical Engineering and Electrical Engineering lecturers who co-teach this interdisciplinary course, this text highlights the information each discipline might have considered prerequisite so students can focus on material new to them. Designed for a first course in mechatronics, it contains numerous practical, classroom-tested examples, experiments, and simulations using SIMULINK, MATLAB, and LabVIEW, and presents material in a format that lends itself to collaborative, project-based learning.

About this title

Synopsis

Mechatronics is an important new trend in mechanical engineering: seeking to teach mechanical engineers to understand both the electronic systems that control theor machines, and more importantly, how to design the entire electromechanical system as a whole. Old- fashioned mechanical engineers simply designed the machine, and then sent it off to electrical engineers to design the sensors and controls that would make the machine work. Smaili/Mrad address the fundamental issue of mechatronics by integrating the electrical and machine components into the design concept.
