Emerging Actuator Technologies A Micromechatronic Approach
Emerging Actuator Technologies: A Micromechatronic Approach by José L. Pons, published by Wiley on April 29, 2005, is a comprehensive resource that explores the evolving landscape of actuator technologies. This edition, consisting of 304 pages, delves into the mechanisms by which actuators convert electrical energy into mechanical work, highlighting their applications in various fields, including biomedical, prosthetic, and orthotic systems.
Readers will find an in-depth examination of a range of actuator technologies, including piezoelectric, shape memory, and electro-active polymers, among others. The book presents a mechatronic approach to design and control, assessing the performance of these technologies as they scale to micro and nano domains. It serves as a valuable reference for electrical and electronics engineers, mechanical and automation engineers, and computer scientists engaged in the development of innovative actuator systems.
Official synopsis Publisher
Actuators are devices that convert electrical energy into mechanical work, traditionally used in electrical, pneumatic and hydraulic systems. As the demand for actuator technologies grows in biomedical, prosthetic and orthotic applications, there is an increasing need for complex and sophisticated products that perform efficiently also when scaled to micro and nano domains.
Providing a comprehensive overview of actuators for novel applications, this excellent book:
* Presents a mechatronic approach to the design, control and integration of a range of technologies covering piezoelectric actuators, shape memory actuators, electro-active polymers, magnetostrictive actuators and electro- and magnetorheological actuators.
* Examines the characteristics and performance of emerging actuators upon scaling to micro and nano domains.
* Assesses the relative merits of each actuator technology and outlines prospective application fields.
Offering a detailed analysis on current advances in the field, this publication will appeal to practising electrical and electronics engineers developing novel actuator systems. Mechanical and automation engineers, computer scientists and researchers will also find this a useful resource.
