- Focuses on a practical approach to the design and simulation of electronic hardware and components of mechatronic systems.
Synopsis
Developed through the interaction of mechanical, electrical and information technologies, mechatronic systems allow engineers to meet increasing demands for complex and sophisticated products. Using tools common to electronics, this book provides a timely introduction to the modelling and simulation of these systems from an electrical/electronic engineering perspective.
Focusing on electronic hardware design, Mechatronic Systems highlights the interaction of electronic components with system mechanics and software and:
- describes state-of-the-art techniques for the simulation of mechatronics and micromechatronics
- outlines the principles of modelling and simulation for electronics and mechanics with particular attention to the verification and validation of models
- covers the most important constructs of digital and analogue hardware description languages
- discusses comprehensively methods for the consideration of software and mechanics in hardware description languages
