A variety of linear models are available to represent common active electronic devices such as transistors and vacuum tubes. Devices operating under large-signal conditions often require nonlinear ...

Part one of this series, published in the January 2007 issue, discussed how to use linear superposition in the steady-state analysis of multiple heat-source systems. However, linear superposition also ...

We anticipate that students possess a grasp of fundamental mathematical concepts equivalent to those covered in the first year of studies for STEM majors at a US college. Additionally, a familiarity ...

Modeling is the single most important activity in mechatronic system design and this article focuses on some techniques and tools engineers can use to create mathematical models from the various ...

Low-friction, high-stiffness ball guides support on one rail (top) or two (bottom). The trade-offs for this performance are higher cost and more noise. The shortest path between two points is a ...
