About this title

From the Back Cover:

Modern mechatronics is the intersection of Mechanical, Electrical/Electronics and Computer Engineering fields. The fieldof mechatronics studies embedded computer-controlled mechanicalsystems and virtually all traditionally mechanical systems are nowcontrolled this way. This technological evolution has been inprogress during the past 30 years whereby embedded computers havebeen introduced to the design of all mechanical systems.

Mechatronics with Experiments, Second Edition comprehensivelycovers the fundamental scientific principles and technologies thatare used in the design of modern computer-controlled machines andprocesses. It provides all of the technical background (coveringmechanical, aerospace, chemical, electrical, and computerengineering) needed for designing an automated machine or process.This new edition has also been updated to include a number ofexperiments involving electronic circuit design and microcontrollerprogramming and includes real-time software development usingMATLAB(R), Simulink(R) and auto-code generation tools.Additional real world examples have been added to every chapter, with particular attention given to automotive powertrain control, electrohydraulic systems, control algorithm design methods. End ofchapter problems are also included.

Key features:

• Covers embedded microcontroller based design of machines
• Includes MATLAB(R)/Simulink(R)-based embedded controlsoftware development
• Considers electrohydraulic motion control systems, withextensive applications in construction equipment industry
• Discusses electric motion control, servo systems, andcoordinated multi-axis automated motion control forfactory automation applications
• Accompanied by a website hosting a solution manual

Mechatronics with Experiments, Second Edition is amust-have textbook for undergraduate and graduate students inmechanical, chemical, electrical and industrial engineering, and isalso a useful reference for researchers and practitioners inindustry.
