Many processes and systems manifest an increasing integration of mechanical and electronic components with information processing capacity. The development of such mechatronic systems opens the way to many innovative solutions not possible with mechanics or electronics alone. Mechatronic Systems introduces these developments by considering the dynamic modelling of components together with their interactions. The whole range of elements from sensors to actuators is presented. Structured tutorial style takes learning from the basics of theoretical modelling, through information processing to examples of system development. End-of-chapter exercises provide ready-made homework or self-tests. Derived from the experience of real students working on real research projects, offers practical advice of real value. Written by one of the World's leading experts in this progressive field, Mechatronic Systems will be of great value to advanced students working in control, electrical and mechanical engineering and in areas where such definitions are becoming more blurred.
It should also prove useful to practising engineers wanting an in-depth understanding of how these disciplines and that of information processing are becoming interlinked.
