Description

Mechatronics is defined by describing the design process and providing examples of successful applications. Material from MEC319 is extended to consider the control of dynamical systems using digital computers. Root locus techniques are applied to analyse both continuous and sampled-data systems. Bode diagram techniques are applied to continuous systems. Finally, case studies involving successful applications of mechatronics are investigated.
