Books by Clarence W. (University of British Columbia de Silva

Suitable for students of engineering, this text offers the multidisciplinary approach needed to develop a foundation in mechatronics. It covers electrical and mechanical components, sensors and instrumentation, drives and actuators, controls, signal processing, component interfacing, modeling, and design.

A combination of research, teaching and industrial applications in the field of intelligent and fuzzy-logic control. The book introduces traditional control techniques and contrasts them with intelligent control. Several methods of representing and processing knowledge are presented.

A reference for modeling, analyzing, simulating, measuring, monitoring, testing, controlling, and designing for vibration in engineering systems. It offers problems and examples, a chapter on human response to vibration, and the inclusion of LabVIEW , SIMULINK[registered], and MATLAB[registered] software tools.
