Applied Mechatronics International Edition

Mechatronics is an important trend in mechanical engineering: for mechanical engineers to understand the electronic systems that control their machines and designing the entire electromechanical system as a whole. This book addresses the fundamental issue of mechatronics by integrating the electrical and machine components into the design concept.

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.
