Applied Mechatronics

DescriptionBook Information

Applied Mechatronics, written by A. Smaili and F. Mrad, synthesizes the disciplines of mechanical and electrical engineering to provide a comprehensive overview of the various technologies and tools used to develop mechatronic devices, including LabVIEW, the LabVIEW Control Design and Simulation Module.

Co-written by Mechanical Engineering and Electrical Engineering professors 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; presenting material in a format that lends itself to collaborative, project-based learning.

Features

  • Presents the basic tools to interface various circuit blocks and condition different signals and provides a brief review of the fundamentals of circuits, analog and digital electronics, and operational amplifiers

  • Discusses microcontroller technology, specifically the Freescale HCS12

  • Covers different kinds of sensors and electric actuators

  • Includes real-world applications of mechatronic devices and simulations of classical and intelligent control schemes
