'This text by Shetty and Kolk, blends the pertinent aspects of mechatronicssystem modeling, simulation, sensors, actuation, real-time computer interfacing, and controlinto 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 assembled and investigated in laboratory settings. Core aspects are combined with practical industrial applications and are presented in an optimal way for understanding. The book features extensive coverage of the modeling and simulation of physical systems 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) are used to support the authors' applied, design-oriented approach. Readers of this text will be equipped with all the tools necessary to plan, test, and implement a well-designed mechatronic system.

'  Includes an overview and explanation of mechatronics from a model-based perspective. Uses a Modified Analogy Approach for creating dynamical models of physical systems. Contains sensor and actuator _cookbook_ sections describing the operation and ion of many devices. Presents a thorough discussion of classical control with the incorporation of real-world constraints. Gives a discussion of analog and digital hardware components for real-time computer interfacing. Incorporates a collection of case studies, complete with parts list, suitable for laboratory exercises. Includes a summary of recent advances in the mechatronics field and future trends.
