Hydrostatic transmissions and actuators : operation, modelling and applications : / Gustavo K. Costa, Department of Mechanics Federal Institute of Education, Science and Technology, Recife, Pernambuco, Brazil, Nariman Sepehri, Department of Mechanical Engineering--University of Manitoba, Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada.
"Hydrostatic Transmissions and Actuators takes a pedagogical approach and begins with an overview of the subject, providing basic definitions and introducing fundamental concepts. Hydrostatic transmissions and hydrostatic actuators are then examined in more detail with coverage of pumps and motors, hydrostatic solutions to single-rod actuators, energy management and efficiency and dynamic response. Consideration is also given to current and emerging applications of hydrostatic transmissions and actuators in automobiles, mobile equipment, wind turbines, wave energy harvesting and airplanes. End of chapter exercises and real world industrial examples are included throughout and a companion website hosting a solution manual is also available. Hydrostatic Transmissions and Actuators is an up to date and comprehensive textbook suitable for courses on fluid power systems and technology, and mechatronics systems design"-- Provided by publisher.
