Mechatronics
by Sabri Cetinkunt

Publisher: Wiley
ISBN: 047147987X

With Sabri Cetinkunt’s Mechatronics, you can develop the technical background you need to design an automated machine, component, or process, as well as the practical judgment and knowledge of the current state-of-the-art technology you need to find the most effective solution.

Drawing on knowledge and techniques from mechanical, aerospace, chemical, electrical and computer engineering, the text explores the theory behind a wide range of basic devices used in automated machines and processes from gears and pumps, to servomotors and microchips. Various motion-control lab experiments bring together all aspects of the mechatronics field, and provide practical experience in designing circuits and writing software.

Mechatronics in Medicine A Biomedical Engineering Approach
by Siamak Najarian, Javad Dargahi, Goldis Darbemamieh, Siamak Hajizadeh Farkoush

Publisher: McGraw-Hill Professional
ISBN: 0071768963

Mechatronics in Medicine: A Biomedical Engineering Approach describes novel solutions for utilizing mechatronics to design innovative, accurate, and intelligent medical devices and optimize conventional medical instruments.

After an introduction to mechatronics, the book addresses sensing technologies, actuators and feedback sensors, mechanisms and mechanical devices, and processing and control systems. Artificial intelligence, expert systems, and medical imaging are also covered. This pioneering guide concludes by discussing applications of mechatronics in medicine and biomedical engineering and presenting seven real-world medical case studies.

Introduction to Mechatronic Design
by J. Edward Carryer, Matthew Ohline, Thomas Kenny

Publisher: Prentice Hall
ISBN: 0131433563

Introduction to Mechatronic Design is ideal for upper level and graduate Mechatronics courses in Electrical, Computing, or Mechanical & Aerospace Engineering.

Unlike other texts on mechatronics that focus on derivations and calculations, Introduction to Mechatronics, 1e, takes a narrative approach, emphasizing the importance of building intuition and understanding before diving into the math. The authors believe that integration is the core of mechatronics and students must have a command of each of the domains to create the balance necessary for successful mechatronic design and devote sections of the book to each area, including mechanical, electrical, and software disciplines, as well as a section on system design and engineering.

System Dynamics: Modeling, Simulation, and Control of Mechatronic Systems
by Dean C. Karnopp, Donald L. Margolis, Ronald C. Rosenberg

Publisher: Wiley
ISBN: 047088908X

A major revision of the go-to resource for engineers facing the increasingly complex job of dynamic systems design, System Dynamics, Fifth Edition adds a completely new section on the control of mechatronic systems, while revising and clarifying material on modeling and computer simulation for a wide variety of physical systems.

This new edition continues to offer comprehensive, up-to-date coverage of bond graphs, using these important design tools to help readers better understand the various components of dynamic systems. Covering all topics from the ground up, the book provides step-by-step guidance on how to leverage the power of bond graphs to model the flow of information and energy in all types of engineering systems.

Mechatronics: Electronic Control Systems in Mechanical & Electrical Engineering
by W. Bolton

Publisher: Prentice Hall
ISBN: 0273742868

Mechatronics is the integration of electronic engineering, mechanical engineering, control and computer engineering. From auto-focus cameras to car engine management systems, and from state-of-the-art robots to the humble washing machine, Mechatronics has a hand in them all.

This book presents a clear and comprehensive introduction to the area. It is practical and applied so it helps you to comprehend and design mechatronic systems. By also explaining the philosophy of Mechatronics it provides you with a frame of understanding to develop a truly interdisciplinary and integrated approach to engineering.

Mechatronics: An Integrated Approach
by Clarence W. De Silva

Publisher: CRC Press
ISBN: 0849312744

Mechatronics: An Integrated Approach presents all of these topics in a single, unified volume from which users with a variety of engineering backgrounds can benefit. The integrated approach emphasizes the design and instrumentation of mechatronic systems.

A versatile text that spans several courses in mechatronics, offers a strong foundation in such core subjects as dynamic system modeling, electronic components and analysis, mechanical components and analysis, robotics, sensors/transducers and instrumentation, stepper motors, dc and ac motors and drives, hydraulic and pneumatic actuators, fluidics, automatic control, digital processing and hardware, communication and interfacing, software tools, design, and prototyping.

Mechatronics System Design
by Devdas Shetty, Richard A. Kolk

Publisher: Cengage Learning
ISBN: 143906198X

This text by Shetty and Kolk, blends the pertinent aspects of mechatronics - system modeling, simulation, sensors, actuation, real-time computer interfacing, and control into 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 opitimal 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.
