Mechatronic Systems: Modelling and Simulation with HDLs

Developed through the interaction of mechanical, electrical and information technologies, mechatronic systems allow engineers to meet increasing demands for complex and sophisticated products. Using tools common to electronics, this book provides a timely introduction to the modelling and simulation of these systems from an electrical/electronic engineering perspective.
Focusing on electronic hardware design, Mechatronic Systems highlights the interaction of electronic components with system mechanics and software and:describes state–of–the–art techniques for the simulation of mechatronics and micromechatronicsoutlines the principles of modelling and simulation for electronics and mechanics with particular attention to the verification and validation of modelscovers the most important constructs of digital and analogue hardware description languagesdiscusses comprehensively methods for the consideration of software and mechanics in hardware description languagesOffering a general view on system design for (micro)mechatronic systems, this book will appeal to practising electrical and electronics engineers developing these products in, for instance, the automotive, robotic or data storage industries. Mechanical engineers, computer scientists, graduate electrical engineering students and researchers will also find this book a valuable reference.
