This book introduces physical effects and fundamentals of piezoelectric sensors and actuators.

This book covers the key elements of physical systems modeling, sensors and actuators, signals and systems, computers and logic systems, and software and data acquisition.

This book contains the proceedings of a conference held at the Manchester Business School on 15-16 July 1996.

This timely book offers a mixture of theory, experiments, and simulations that provides qualitative and quantitative insights in the field of sensor and actuator networking.

This book uniquely and comprehensively covers the various polymers that are used for sensors and actuators. The author has researched both scientific papers and patents to include all the recent discoveries and applications.

It distinguishes from other books by including the physical and chemical phenomena used as well as the features and specifications of many sensors and actuators.The useful reference text also contains an introductory chapter that deals with ...

The focus of this book is concerned with the modeling and precise numerical simulation of mechatronic sensors and actuators.

The volume change can amount up to several hundred percent. This unique behaviour is already used in such applications like disposable diapers, contact lenses or drug-delivery systems.

The text first provides introductory material-p

This book describes the application of piezoelectric materials, particularly piezoceramics, in the wide field of actuators and sensors.
