Mechatronics: Engineering Fundamentals

Mechatronics also known as mechatronic engineering is a field of engineering that deals with various types of mechanical and electrical systems. It is a multidisciplinary field and includes various other branches of engineering such as computer engineering, robotics, telecommunications, electronics, control, systems and product engineering. The goal of this discipline is to a make a design solution that integrates each of its subfields. It focuses on creating a simpler, reliable and economical system that integrates principles of both mechanics and electronics. Mechatronics finds its applications in a wide variety of areas such as servo-mechanics, industrial goods, computer aided and integrated manufacturing systems, medical imaging systems, structural dynamic systems and transportation and vehicular systems. This book is a valuable compilation of topics, ranging from the basic to the most complex theories and principles of this field. The topics included herein are of utmost significance and bound to provide incredible insights to the readers. This book will serve as a reference to a broad spectrum of readers.
