Mechatronic Systems: Fundamentals
About this eBook
"Mechatronic Systems" introduces these developments by considering the dynamic modelling of components together with their interactions. Structured tutorial style takes learning from the basics of theoretical modelling, through information processing to examples of system development. End-of-chapter exercises provide ready-made homework or self-tests. Based on the experience of students working on real research projects, offers practical advice of real value.
"Mechatronic Systems" will be of great value to advanced students working in control, electrical and mechanical engineering. It will be useful to practising engineers wanting an in-depth understanding of how these disciplines are becoming interlinked.
About the author
Rolf Isermann is one of the leading academic figures associated with the novel and increasingly important field of mechatronics the most popular definition of which is:
Mechatronics is the synergistic integration of mechanical engineering with electronics and intelligent computer control in the design and manufacture of products and processes
He was chair of the 1st IFAC conference on Mechatronics. He has worked extensively with industry in recent years especially in the automotive sector. He is a fellow of the IEEE and a member of the IFAC general council.
