Bücher der Reihe Emerging Trends in Mechatronics

This book presents improved numerical techniques and applied computer-aided simulations as a part of emerging trends in mechatronics in all areas related to complex fluids, with particular focus on using a combination of modeling, theory, and simulation to study systems that are complex due to the rheology of fluids (i.e., ceramic pastes, polymer solutions and melts, colloidal suspensions, emulsions, foams, micro-/nanofluids, etc.) and multiphysics phenomena in which the interactions of various effects (thermal, chemical, electric, magnetic, or mechanical) lead to complex dynamics. The areas of applications span materials processing, manufacturing, and biology.

This book presents Industry 4.0 enabler technologies and tools. It also highlights some of the existing empirical applications in the context of manufacturing. The book elucidates innovative thematic concepts of Industry 4.0 and its perspectives. It establishes routes to empirically utilize Industry 4.0 standards for manufacturing companies. The book can be used as a reference for professionals/engineers, researchers, and students.

This book provides an in-depth understanding of the fundamental scientific principles and technologies used in the design of modern computer-controlled machines and processes. It emphasizes the synergies in the design process and explores the challenges and opportunities for integrating diverse engineering disciplines. The book consists of six chapters that cover a wide range of topics related to mechatronics and control system engineering. Overall, the book is an excellent resource for professionals, engineers, researchers, and students who want to gain a comprehensive understanding of the trans-disciplinary field of mechatronics and control systems engineering.
