Motivation
Why another book on mechatronics? And moreover, why such a comprehensive
volume with so much descriptive text?
I had answered the first question for myself at the beginning of this project
with the justification of “re-working my apprenticeship”, whence I derived
the motivation for its realization—whose extent could not be guessed
at the time. The second question only presented itself in the course of
composition, and was answered in cases of doubt by making decisions in
favor of more text following the paradigm “everything need not be hidden
between the lines and in the formulae”.
Methods, models, concepts
The subtitle of this work is methods, models, concepts and arises from the
following roots.
Models
An awareness of the great importance of models in system development
is based on my own professional experience. Aerospace applications,
such as the orbital and attitude control of spacecraft, high-precision
pointing, and active vibration isolation for instruments, deal with complex
heterogeneous systems. Due to their nature, in today’s conception, these
represent mechatronic systems par excellence.
Design variant A: soft mechanical coupling
Mechanical subsystem As a first concretization of the design, consider
the mechanical subsystem. Let the coupling stiffness k
