About this Item

Fluid power systems are manufactured by many organizations for a very wide range of applications, embodying different arrangements of components to fulfill a given task. Hydraulic components are manufactured to provide the control functions required for the operation of a wide range of systems and applications.This second edition is structured to give an understanding of . Basic types of components, their operational principles and the estimation of their performance in a variety of applications. A resume of the flow processes that occur in hydraulic components. A review of the modeling process for the efficiency of pumps and motors.This new edition also includes a complete analysis for estimating the mechanical loss in a typical hydraulic motor; how circuits can be arranged using available components to provide a range of functional system outputs, including the analysis and design of closed loop control systems and some applications; a description of the use of international standards in the design and management of hydraulic systems; and extensive analysis of hydraulic circuits for different types of hydrostatic power transmission systems and their application.

About this title

Synopsis

Using the fluid physics of flow and pressure to operate a moving mechanism, hydraulic systems have been ubiquitous in modern industry and transportation for many, many years. This book, originally written as an excellent introduction to the design and use of hydraulic systems--their components and their full systems, will with this new edition l be thoroughly updated and expanded to reflect new advances in digital control and in the integration of hydraulics into new applications such as wind turbines. Improved figures and diagrams will help to ensure a loyal and growing readership among professionals and students alike.
