This text gives a clear and comprehensive introduction to the area of Mechatronics. It is practical and applied, giving a solid understanding of the keyskills and interdisciplinary approach required to successfully design Mechatronic systems. Plenty of case-studies, and use of models for mechatronic systems, help give a real-world context,whilst self-test questions and exercises help test understanding. For Sale in Indian subcontinent only Comprehensive coverage Practical and applied approach End of chapter exercises help test understanding Numerous case-studies provide a 'real-world' context New chapter introduces Artificial Intelligence New four-part structure groups key themes with a consolidating and integrating final chapter Even more case studies to put the theory into context and boost your understanding Even more use of models for mechatronic systems End of chapter exercises to help test your learning Preface Introduction Introducing mechatronics Part I: Sensors and signal conditioning Sensors and transducers Signal conditioning Digital signals Digital logic Data presentation systems Part II: Actuation Pneumatic and hydraulic actuation systems Mechanical actuation systems Electrical actuation systems Part III: System models Basic system models System models Dynamic responses of systems System transfer functions Frequency response Closed-loop controllers Artificial intelligence Part IV: Microprocessor systems Microprocessors Assembly language C Language Input/output systems Programmable logic controllers Communication systems Fault finding Part V: Conclusion Mechatronics systems
I t is a good book, easy to read with simple English. This book is touching up on main areas of mechatronics with few applications, I recommend it for those who are interested in mechatronics.
Wow! I mean, really, WOW. This is a modern classic. Bolton paints a landscape so rich in detail so as to be utterly believable and completely indistinguishable from fact. This work of utmost dedication crescendos with a suspensful chapter on operational amplifiers; I was on the edge of my seat! Bravo Bolton!!
