Introduction to Electric Circuits, Devices, and Machines: Select Topics for Mechanical Engineers

Introduction to Electric Circuits, Devices, and Machines: Select Topics for Mechanical Engineers provides students with a practical guide to understanding and manipulating electrical signals and power. The book examines a variety of electrical topics that provide mechanical engineers with the knowledge and skills they need to succeed within their future careers.Structured into four parts, the book begins by introducing fundamental skills that support the learner as they develop applicable engineering skills. The subsequent parts introduce a variety of topics that engineers of all disciplines will find applicable in a modern engineering career. Topics include time-dependent circuit analysis, signal and measurement electronics, and electromagnetic devices and machines. Students learn to analyze the energy transfer between the electrical and mechanical subsystems of a design, collect and condition electric measurement signals, and drive electric motors.Introduction to Electric Circuits, Devices, and Machines has been tailored specifically for mechanical engineers and technologists who are interested in applying electrical concepts to mechanical systems.
