Applications continues to provide readers with an in-depth background in the field offluid power. Emphasizing such subjects as design, analysis, operation, maintenance, and practical applications, this text provides the “how” as well as the “why” of fluid power systems. The revised seventh edition has been completely SI metricated.
Features –
1. Includes coverage of the use of hydroforming which allows to produce more complex shaped panels and lighter structural parts
2. Material on fluid power systems that enhance the use of renewable energy, reflects the increasing emphasis on lowering air pollution levels and reducing green-house gases to minimize global warming
3. Many photographs and illustrations are updated to reflect current fluid power technology. This allows the readers to become more aware of the latest advances in fluid power systems and applications
4. An extensive array of industrial applications is provided to motivate and simulate students' interest in the field
