Hydraulic Power System Analysis [With CDROM]

By Richard Smith, Max Gassman, Arthur Akers

Hydraulic Power System Analysis demonstrates modern computer-aided analytical techniques used to model nonlinear, dynamic fluid power systems. Following an overview of fluid power, the authors examine various relevant fluid properties, energy calculations, and steady state and dynamic analysis along with a review of automatic control theory. Turning to modeling, the next few chapters address valves and motors and then apply dynamic modeling to examples relating to pumps, hydrostatic transmissions, and valves. The book includes a unique chapter on flow division in hydraulic circuits and translates electrical circuit theory concepts to noise attenuation in fluid power systems.
