Klappentext

Jouaneh's FUNDAMENTALS OF MECHATRONICS, 2nd Edition, focuses on fundamental concepts, operating principles, application considerations and relevant practical issues that arise in the selection and design of mechatronics components and systems. Both hardware and software aspects of mechatronics systems are covered, giving a complete treatment to the subject matter. The text includes a large number of worked examples and end-of-chapter questions and problems. Video links are included with almost every topic covered in the text to provide more information and view applications of these topics. The text covers the Arduino platform and has code examples in both C and MATLAB. A separate laboratory book with additional exercises is provided to give guided hands-on experience with many of the topics covered in the text.
