Overview
Mechatronics-the breakthrough concept in the design and analysis of electromechanical systems and the unified cornerstone of modern engineering. Microsystems-the future of technology, but fraught with the challenges inherent at small scales. Apply the power and versatility of mechatronics to microsystems and we find a way to attack, integrate, and solve a great variety of emerging engineering problems.
Micromechatronics: Modelling, Analysis, and Design with MATLAB synthesizes traditional engineering topics and the latest technologies to build a solid understanding of the engineering underpinnings of integrated technologies and develop the modern picture of microelectromechanical engineering. Emphasizing the modeling, simulation, analysis, design, and implementation of high-performance mini-and microscale electromechanical systems, the authors develop the rigorous theory, demonstrate the application of theoretical results, and explore state-of-the-art technologies. MATLAB is used throughout the book to illustrate practical examples and help readers master this powerful, industry-standard software.
The application of mechatronics, particularly micromechatronics, is an endless frontier. All engineers will soon need a working knowledge of the theoretical bases and their practical applications. Comprehensive in coverage and global in perspective, Micromechatronics: Modeling, Analysis, and Design with MATLAB helps build the background you need to design and analyze state-of-the-art systems and contribute to further advancements.
Synopsis
Giurgiutiu (Department of Mechanical Engineering, University of South Carolina) and Lyshevski (electrical engineering, microsystems engineering, Rochester Institute of Technology) synthesize traditional engineering topics with the latest technologies to build a solid understanding of the engineering underpinnings of integrated technologies and develop a modern picture of microelectromechanical engineering. Emphasizing the modeling, simulation, analysis, design, and implementation of high-performance mini-and microscale electromechanical systems, they demonstrate the application of theoretical results using MATLAB to illustrate practical examples. Independent chapters make the book adaptable to a variety of course outlines and engineering curricula. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
