Fluid Power - Generation, Transmission and Control provides an integrated treatment of hydraulic systems for courses in undergraduate and postgraduate level. The stress is on interdisciplinary nature of subject, and examples have been drawn from various engineering disciplines to illustrate the basic concepts. A strong emphasis has been laid on theory and mathematical treatment of practical systems. Accompanied by more than 500 drawings, the book offers fundamental dynamics and control studies under various conditions.
