	Fluid Power Control by Ahmed Abu Hanieh
	Price : Rs 795.00
	Your Price : Rs 715.50

The idea of this book came out after five years of teaching the fluid power control course in Birzeit University besides to the long experience of the author in the real hydraulic and pneumatic systems which is reflected on the different applications of the discussed circuits. Most of the exciting books in this field discuss the hydraulic and pneumatic systems in concentrating on the design and components of the system without going deep enough into the problem of dynamic modelling and control of these systems.

This book attempts to compromise between theoretical modelling and practical understanding of fluid power systems by using modern control theory based on implementing Newton’s second law in second order after differential equations transformed into direct relationships between inputs and outputs via transfer functions or state space approach.

In this book:

Fundamentals of Fluid Power
Modelling of Fluid Power Systems

Hydraulic Circuits
Pneumatic Circuits
