Intelligent Mechatronic Systems

Abstract

Various key components of mechatronic systems are modeled in this chapter. Dynamic models of actuators of various kinds are modeled with detailed physical relationships. Several examples from mechanical (mechanisms, cam, gear, and belt drives, etc.), electrical (DC, AC, and stepper motors, etc.), magnetic, and hydro-pneumatic actuators are detailed. Thereafter, models for various kinds of sensors (position, velocity, force, pressure, etc.) are developed by using the concept of activated bonds. In the next step, analog electronic circuit components like operational amplifier, diode, and transistor are developed from first principles. Various electronic circuits (op-amp circuits like integrator, Wien bridge oscillator, transistor amplifier and switch, Darlington transistor configuration, Buck converter, etc.) are modeled and analyzed. Bond graph modeling has been used in this chapter to model, analyze, and simulate electronic circuit behaviors.
