MechatronicsA Foundation Course\nAuthor(s): Clarence W. de Silva\nFormat: Hardback\nPublisher: Taylor & Francis Inc, United States\nImprint: CRC Press Inc\nISBN-13: 9781420082111, 978-1420082111\nSynopsis\nNow that modern machinery and electromechanical devices are typically being controlled using analog and digital electronics and computers, the technologies of mechanical engineering in such a system can no longer be isolated from those of electronic and computer engineering. Mechatronics: A Foundation Course applies a unified approach to meet this challenge, developing an understanding of the synergistic and concurrent use of mechanics, electronics, computer engineering, and intelligent control systems for everything from modeling and analysis to design, implementation, control, and integration of smart electromechanical products. \n\nThis book explains the fundamentals of integrating different types of components and functions, both mechanical and electrical, to achieve optima.
