Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. Most orbital mechanics resources end exactly where practical astrodynamics begins. Every textbook teaches the two-body problem. Fewer connect the derivation to the kind of engineering decision a mission analyst actually faces: sizing a maneuver, predicting orbital decay, planning a rendezvous, evaluating a launch window. The gap between a well-understood equation and a usable engineering tool is where most treatments of orbital mechanics fall short - and where early-career engineers find themselves stalled.Orbital Mechanics for Engineers is written to close that gap. Every derivation in this book is developed with the goal of producing a tool that can be applied to a real engineering scenario. Every worked example reflects a realistic problem with complete unit-tracked calculations. Where a simplifying assumption is made, the text names it, explains what it costs, and identifies where a more detailed model would be required. Sixteen chapters build the discipline from Newton's law to a fully verified mission design - with no gaps left for another book to fill. After working through this book, you will be able to: Derive the equations of orbital motion from first principles and understand the physical meaning of the conserved quantities that determine every orbit's shape and size.Convert freely between state vectors and classical orbital elements, transform between ECI, ECEF, and topocentric reference frames, and compute look angles from a ground station to a satellite.Solve Kepler's equation by Newton-Raphson iteration to propagate spacecraft position in time, and extend the same approach to hyperbolic departure trajectories.Determine orbital elements from observations using the Gibbs method, solve Lambert's problem in both its orbit-determination and trajectory-design forms, and understand the limits of each approach.Quantify the effects of Earth's oblateness, atmospheric drag, third-body gravity, and solar radiation pressure, and understand which perturbation dominates in which orbital regime.Design Hohmann and bi-elliptic transfers, plane-change maneuvers, low-thrust Edelbaum transfers, and interplanetary trajectories using the patched-conic approximation including gravity-assist flybys.Apply the rocket equation to construct a complete mission delta-v budget and evaluate the propellant implications of chemical versus electric propulsion choices.And more.Comprehensive coverage includes: Two-body problem and conic sections Classical orbital elements and state-vector conversion Kepler's equation and time-of-flight Reference frames and sidereal time Orbit determination (Gibbs method, Lambert's problem, angles-only, least-squares) J2 perturbations, nodal regression, apsidal drift, and sun-synchronous orbit design Atmospheric drag and orbital decay Third-body effects and solar radiation pressure Hohmann and bi-elliptic transfers And More.This book is for: Upper-level undergraduate and graduate students in aerospace or astronautical engineering who need both derivation and applied meaning in a single volume Early-career aerospace engineers and mission analysts who need a dependable engineering reference for the complete scope of orbital mechanics Practising engineers and technical professionals who require a rigorous, self-contained astrodynamics resource that connects every result to real mission design practice This is the orbital mechanics engineering guide written for the reader who needs the derivation, the example, and the engineering judgment all in the same book.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware.

Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. A mechatronic system does not succeed one subsystem at a time. It succeeds only when mechanics, electronics, embedded computation, sensing, actuation, and feedback control behave as one coordinated system.A control loop may work in simulation and oscillate once mechanical compliance enters the real machine. A sensor may meet its specifications and still produce unusable measurements under electrical noise. Embedded code may run correctly in isolation yet destabilize the physical system when timing constraints are ignored.That is the challenge of mechatronics: every subsystem affects the others.ENGINEER THE WHOLE SYSTEM-NOT JUST THE PARTSHANDBOOK OF MECHATRONICS brings the major disciplines of mechatronic engineering into one structured reference, connecting mechanical and electrical fundamentals with sensors, actuators, embedded systems, control, power electronics, motor drives, robotics, simulation, and reliability.Using consistent SI notation, defined symbols, numbered equations, and a cumulative progression, the book shows how individual technologies combine into complete working systems.WHAT YOU WILL LEARNReaders will learn how to: Build mechanical and electrical foundations using statics, dynamics, material behavior, and circuit analysisSelect, calibrate, and interface sensors and actuators using criteria such as accuracy, bandwidth, noise, range, and duty cycleDesign signal-conditioning and data-acquisition chains while accounting for filtering, sampling, conversion, aliasing, and interface limitationsDevelop microcontroller-based embedded systems and understand real-time scheduling, timing constraints, and worst-case execution timeAnalyze and tune feedback systems using PID, root-locus, state-space, and digital control methodsSelect and drive motors with power electronics while considering switching losses, thermal limits, and electromagnetic interferenceIntegrate subsystems through communication protocols, verification testing, FMEA, and reliability engineeringMAJOR TOPICSMechatronic design processMechanical and electrical fundamentalsSensors, actuators, and measurement systemsSignal conditioning and data acquisitionMicrocontrollers and embedded softwareClassical, state-space, and digital controlPower electronics and motor drivesMechanical design and machine elementsCommunication protocols and system integrationRobotics and motion controlModeling, simulation, and digital twinsVerification, FMEA, reliability, and testingFOR STUDENTS AND PRACTICING ENGINEERSThis handbook is written for upper-level undergraduate and graduate engineering students who have studied mechanics, circuits, programming, or control separately and are ready to understand how those subjects interact within complete systems.It also serves practicing mechanical, electrical, electronics, controls, automation, embedded-systems, robotics, and manufacturing engineers who need a dependable reference when a project extends beyond their primary specialization.Real mechatronics begins at the interfaces-where sensors meet controllers, software meets motor drives, and control laws meet physical mechanisms.HANDBOOK OF MECHATRONICS is designed to help readers understand those connections and approach mechatronic systems as integrated engineering systems rather than isolated parts.Understand the components. Engineer the interfaces. Integrate the system. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
