Elements of Mechatronic Systems: A Design Oriented Approach using MATLAB: A Design Oriented Approach using MATLAB

A unified design approach to mechatronic system fundamentals using MATLAB® Mechatronic system design demands integrated knowledge spanning classical mechanics, electronics, and control theory, yet most references treat these domains in isolation. Elements of Mechatronic Systems: A Design Oriented Approach using MATLAB® presents these disciplines as a single coherent framework, progressing from foundational components such as filters, power converters, and logic circuits through electromechanical energy conversion and electric machines. The text covers resistive, electromagnetic, and optoelectronic sensor types in detail and dedicates a full chapter to digital control using microprocessors and microcomputers. Design examples and simulations use MATLAB® Live Script, enabling readers to automate routine calculations. Each chapter includes solved examples, case studies, and self-assessment quizzes that reinforce core mechatronic control strategies and system design processes. The book also provides: A companion website with problem solutions, design examples, a solution manual, and presentation slides for instructors adopting the textCoverage of mechatronic control strategies linking analog and digital approaches within a consistent design-oriented analytical framework for system integrationTreatment of power converters and logic circuits as integral building blocks within broader mechatronic system architectures and design workflowsEnd-of-chapter problems structured to support a three- or four-credit, one-semester course at upper-division undergraduate or graduate levelPractical applications of mechatronics technology across automotive, manufacturing, and consumer domains grounded in real-world case studies throughout Designed for upper division undergraduate and graduate students in mechatronic design, electronics, and robotics courses, this text also serves as a reference for professors, lecturers, and researchers. Its unified treatment and structured pedagogy support both classroom instruction and independent professional study of mechatronic systems.
