Modelling and Simulation of Mechanical and Mechatronic Systems is an introductory textbook covering modelling of mechanical and mechatronic systems with simulation results. Simple systems and their mathematical models are explained in detail and an approach to deal with complex systems is also discussed. MATLAB and Simulink examples are included to show the behaviour of dynamic systems and a companion website hosting simulation files is available. Modelling and Simulation of Mechanical and Mechatronic Systems takes a systematic approach beginning with the fundamental concepts of modelling and simulation before moving on to cover the application of these concepts to mechanical and mechatronic systems. The easy to follow approach makes Modelling and Simulation of Mechanical and Mechatronic Systems an ideal textbook for undergraduate and graduate courses on mechanical and mechatronics systems.
