Mechatronics has emerged as its own discipline over the past decade yet no reference has lived up to the demands of being a working guide for designing and implementing the new generation of mechatronic systems. Uniting an international team of leading experts Mechatronic Systems: Devices Design Control Operation and Monitoring rises to the challenge of providing a practical comprehensive and detailed guide to the theory and application of modern mechatronics. Weaving the Multi-Domain Tapestry This book treats all components of the mechatronic system as a unified whole combining mechanics electronics intelligent control sensors actuators and communication networks through integrated design. Extensive cross-referencing lends this work a coherence not found in other books on mechatronics which amount to little more than collections of papers. Real-World Guidance from the Experts Extensive examples and case studies take you effortlessly from theory to analysis design and application. Convenient snapshots in the form of tables graphs illustrations and summaries give you immediate access to the information you need. Mechatronic Systems: Devices Design Control Operation and Monitoring is a critical compendium of need-to-know information covering mechatronic devices communication and control technologies mechatronic design and optimization and techniques for monitoring and diagnosis. |Mechatronic Systems Devices Design Control Operation and Monitoring | Mechanical Engineering
