Smart Actuator and Sensor Technologies: Design, Modeling, Fabrication, and Control for Mechatronic Systems

Smart Actuator and Sensor Technologies focuses on design, modelling, fabrication, and control of smart actuator technologies such as piezoelectric actuators, electroactive polymer actuators, and a host of other smart? material based actuators including shape memory alloys, magnetostrictive materials, and others. This book covers important technical aspects so that engineers, scientists, and designers can utilize the information in their work. Currently, emerging mechatronic systems such as precision positioning system, soft robots, biomedical devices, and aerospace system are exploring the use of smart actuators over conventional actuator such as electric motors. Thus, a book that provides a complete coverage of the popular smart actuator technologies meets emerging needs in the design of mechatronic systems. Covers the important technical aspects of design, modelling, fabrication, and control of smart actuator technologiesWritten by two experts in the field of smart actuators, each contributing their expert knowledgeIt is a reference text, where readers can enhance their understanding with further reading of the publications listed in the references section INDICE: 1. Smart Actuator Technologies2. Fabrication and manufacturing of smart material actuators3. Performance and behaviors4. Modelling of smart actuators5. Control6. Applications7. Conclusions and Future Developments
