Mechatronics combines elements of mechanical, electrical and electronic engineering into the development of computer-controlled mechanical systems and devices, ranging from home DVD players through to complex heavy landing gear in airliners. Often viewed as ‘modern mechanical engineering design’, mechatronics has spread to engineered products and systems of all types in the highly competitive international marketplace. This book is the most comprehensive mechatronics text available, enabling students and professionals to engage fully in all aspects of mechatronic system design, from conceptualization to final product. Key Features include:* Integrated coverage of PIC microcontroller programming, MATLAB and Simulink modelling * Fully developed student exercises and detailed practical examples * An accompanying website with Instructor's Solutions Manual, downloadable code and image bankMechatronics: Principles and Applications delivers broad and integrated coverage, including semiconductor electronic devices, digital circuits and systems, sequential logic systems, reliability, AI, sensors and actuators. In a widely pervasive and expanding subject, Mechatronics is an essential book for students and professionals.
