Mechatronics has evolved into a way of life in engineering practice, and it pervades virtually every aspect of the modern world. In chapters drawn from the bestselling and now standard engineering reference, The Mechatronics Handbook, this book introduces the vibrant field of mechatronics and its key elements: physical system modeling; sensors and actuators; signals and systems; computers and logic systems; and software and data acquisition. These chapters, written by leading academics and practitioners, were carefully selected and organized to provide an accessible, general outline of the subject ideal for non-specialists. Mechatronics: An Introduction first defines and organizes the key el...
The first comprehensive reference on mechatronics, The Mechatronics Handbook was quickly embraced as the gold standard in the field. From washing machines, to coffeemakers, to cell phones, to the ubiquitous PC in almost every household, what, these days, doesn’t take advantage of mechatronics in its design and function? In the scant five years since the initial publication of the handbook, the latest generation of smart products has made this even more obvious. Too much material to cover in a single volume Originally a single-volume reference, the handbook has grown along with the field. The need for easy access to new material on rapid changes in technology, especially in computers and software, has made the single volume format unwieldy. The second edition is offered as two easily digestible books, making the material not only more accessible, but also more focused. Completely revised and updated, Robert Bishop’s seminal work is still the most exhaustive, state-of-the-art treatment of the field available.
National Instruments LabVIEW is the leading graphical development environment for science and engineering with built-in functionality for simulation, data acquisition, instrument control, measurement analysis, and data presentation. "The LabVIEW 7 Express Student Edition" delivers all the capabilities of the professional version of LabVIEW, widely considered the industry standard for test, measurement, automation, and control. LabVIEW is an ideal tool for science and engineering education that is also fun to use! Features of the LabVIEW Student Edition Software: "NEW" Express VIs that bring interactive, configuration-based application design for acquiring, analyzing, and presenting data "NEW...
For courses in Measurement and Instrumentation in Mechanical Engineering, as well as Electrical Engineering Lab, Chemistry and Physics Lab. Learning with LabVIEW 7 Express is a tutorial that teaches graphical programming concepts through real world applications. It is the officially endorsed textbook that accompanies the LabVIEW 7 Express Student Edition. Bishop's accessible, motivational approach helps students successfully master LabVIEW. When used with the Learning directory (a family of virtual instruments developed exclusively for use with this book) and the extensive LabVIEW on-line help, this book provides a complete learning environment for students and practitioners needing assistance in quickly becoming productive with this powerful software tool.
The goal of this book is to help students learn to use LabVIEW(tm) on their own. Learning with LabVIEW is the textbook that accompanies the LabVIEW Student Edition from National Instruments, Inc. This textbook, as well as the LabVIEW software (LabVIEW software is not included with this book), has undergone a significant revision from the previous edition. Learning with LabVIEW teaches basic programming concepts in a graphical environment and relates them to real-world applications in academia and industry. Understanding and using the intuitive and powerful LabVIEW software is easier than ever before. As you read through the book and work through the examples, we hope you will agree that this book is more of a personal tour guide than a software manual.
Designed to help learn how to use MATLAB and Simulink for the analysis and design of automatic control systems.
From five authors with over two decades of experience teaching origins together in the classroom, this is the first textbook to offer a full-fledged discussion of the scientific narrative of origins from the Big Bang through humankind, from biblical and theological perspectives. This work gives the reader a detailed picture of mainstream scientific theories of origins along with how they fit into the story of God's creative and redemptive action.
Mechatronics has evolved into a way of life in engineering practice, and indeed pervades virtually every aspect of the modern world. As the synergistic integration of mechanical, electrical, and computer systems, the successful implementation of mechatronic systems requires the integrated expertise of specialists from each of these areas. De
A self-paced guide to the LabVIEW graphical programming software. Learning with LabVIEW presents basic programming concepts in a graphical environment and relates them to real-world applications in academia and industry. With this text, understanding and using the intuitive and powerful LabVIEW software is easier than ever before. Acting as a personal tour guide rather than a software manual, the text guides students through the book and examples, helping them learn to use LabVIEW at their own pace. This 2nd Edition is revised to reflect the latest version of LabVIEW 2019, and includes over 500 images in color. Pearson eText is a simple-to-use, mobile-optimized, personalized reading experien...
