Mechatronics System Design
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...

MECHATRONICS - a synergistic combination of mechanical and electrical engineering, computer science, and information technology-is a rapidly emerging technology appropriate for today's engineering students and practicing engineers. This book combines the core aspects of mechatronics (system modeling, simulation, sensors, actuation, real-time computer interfacing, and control) with practical industrial applications presented in an opitimal way for understanding this new technology. The book features extensive coverage of the modeling and simulation of physical systems (in Chapter 2) 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) supports the authors' applied, design-oriented approach.
