DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/b27fa7/micro_and_smart_sy) has announced the addition of John Wiley and Sons Ltd's new book "Micro and Smart Systems" to their offering.
This first undergraduate-level textbook on microsystems and smart systems makes a burgeoning area of professional practice accessible to course teaching. It is based on a course introduced at VTU in India in 2009, which has already been taught to nearly 1000 students.
Practical examples and exercises will set this book apart from the professional reference books currently in use as texts on the subject.
Key Topics:
- Micro Sensors, Actuators, Systems and Smart Materials: An Overview
- Micromachining Technologies
- Modelling of Solids in Microsystems
- Finite Element Method
- Modelling of Coupled Electromechanical Systems
- Electronics Circuits and Control for Micro and Smart Systems
- Integration of Micro and Smart Systems
- Scaling Effects in Microsystems
- Glossary
