INTRODUCTION TO MECHATRONICS AND MEASUREMENT
SYSTEMS provides comprehensive and accessible coverage of the
evolving field of mechatronics for mechanical, electrical and aerospace
engineering majors. The authors present a concise review of electrical
circuits, solid-state devices, digital circuits, and motors- all of which
are fundamental to understanding mechatronic systems.
Mechatronics design considerations are presented throughout the text,
and in “Design Example” features. The text’s numerous illustrations,
examples, class discussion items, and chapter questions & exercises
provide an opportunity to understand and apply mechatronics concepts
to actual problems encountered in engineering practice. This
text has been tested over several years to ensure accuracy.
A text web site is available at http://www.engr.colostate.edu/~dga/mechatronics/
and contains numerous supplemental resources.
