Sensors and Actuators in Mechatronics

Based on years of industrial and research experience, this book builds a practical understanding of the features and functions of various electromagnetic and electromechanical devices necessary to meet specific industrial requirements. Each chapter works from theory to design, applications, and numerical problems and solutions. Although the crux of the coverage is design and application, the author discusses optimization and testing, introduces magnetic materials, and shares his enlightened perspective on the social and business aspects of developing world-class technologies. The book puts critical tools in the hands of any researcher or engineer seeking to develop innovative mechatronic systems.
