Mechatronics System Design, 2nd Edition

[ErikL]

Description	Book Information
This text by Shetty and Kolk, blends the pertinent aspects of  mechatronics--system modeling, simulation, sensors, actuation, real-time  computer interfacing, and control--into a single unified result  suitable for use in the college-level mechatronic curriculum. Students  are introduced to all the topics needed to develop a good understanding  of the basic principles used in mechatronics technology through the use  of examples, problems and case studies, all of which can be quickly and  affordably assembled and investigated in laboratory settings. Core  aspects are combined with practical industrial applications and are  presented in an opitimal way for understanding. The book features  extensive coverage of the modeling and simulation of physical systems  made possible by block-diagrams, the modified analogy approach to  modeling, and state-of-the-art visual simulation software. A collection  of case studies drawn from a variety of industries (complete with parts,  lists, setup, and instructions) are used to support the authors'  applied, design-oriented approach. Readers of this text will be equipped  with all the tools necessary to plan, test, and implement a  well-designed mechatronic system. New to this Edition : Simulation  and Real time interfacing using National Instrument's LabVIEW has been  used in addition to VisSim by Virtual Simulation Inc. Numerous design examples and end-of-chapter problems have been added to  help students understand basic mechatronics methodology. A simple motion control example which is carried out over the 8  chapters allows progressive coverage of the different elements of  mechatronics systems. Current trends in mechatronics and smart manufacturing are presented in the first chapter. Illustration of block diagram approach and emphasis on the  comprehensive use of mathematical analysis, simulation and modeling,  control and real time interfacing in implementing case studies. Expanded coverage of sensors, real time interfacing, multiple input and multiple output systems. Table of Contents 1. MECHATRONICS SYSTEM DESIGN What is Mechatronics?
