Mechatronics (4th Edition)

Mechatronics (Fourth Edition)
Electronic Control Systems in Mechanical and Electrical Engineering
By William Bolton

Originally designed to cover the core mechatronics units of the Business and Technology Education Council's Higher National Certificate/Diploma courses, this text quickly outgrew its original audience and became widely adopted in undergraduate engineering courses across Britain and the United States. Following lecturer feedback on both sides of the Atlantic, later editions were considerably extended and deepened to properly support degree-level study. The fourth edition represents a complete reconsideration of the entire text — layout and content alike — with topics regrouped, supplementary material moved into appendices to keep the main narrative flowing, and new coverage added on artificial intelligence, alongside more case studies and refined explanations throughout.

Topics commonly covered include:

• What is mechatronics: the multidisciplinary approach
• Sensors and transducers
• Signal conditioning
• Digital signals and systems
• Actuation systems (mechanical, electrical, hydraulic, pneumatic)
• Microprocessor and microcontroller systems
• Programmable logic controllers
• System models and dynamic behavior
• Design and mechatronic system integration
• Introduction to artificial intelligence in mechatronic systems

Key features:

• Complete reconsideration of layout and content for the fourth edition, including new AI coverage
• Grew from a technician-level text into a fully degree-suitable undergraduate resource
• More case studies added to bridge theory and real system design
• Appendices used to house supplementary technical detail without breaking the main text's flow
• Long publication history, now well into its sixth edition, reflecting sustained relevance in a fast-moving field

Perfect for:

• Mechanical and electrical engineering students studying mechatronic/control systems
• Higher National Certificate/Diploma and undergraduate degree students alike
• Students needing an integrated view of sensors, actuators, and microprocessor control
• Faculty teaching multidisciplinary mechatronics or system design courses
