Mechatronics is designed to meet the requirements of undergraduate students of mechanical engineering. The book aims at demystifying the subject with its lucidity and comprehensive coverage. It also presents the important concept of the design and development of an automatic/intelligent system for a multidisciplinary environment in an easy-to-understand manner. This book provides a step-by-step procedure through chapters, in sequence, to design and develop any mechatronics intelligent system. In addition, several case studies and intelligent projects have been discussed to provide a better understanding of the subject. The text covers all aspects of design and development of an intelligent product with detailed coverage of topics such as system, sensors, and transducers; signal conditioning and signal manipulation; digital circuits and devices; controllers such as microprocessor, microcontroller, and programmable logic controller (PLC); mechanical, electrical, hydraulic and pneumatic actuators, control theory, and robotics. In order to help design a system, advanced topics for system simulation using MATLAB and LabVIEW, product design and development, and fault diagnostics are also covered. The text is supported with numerous solved and unsolved questions.
