Aerospace Hydraulic Systems

The book addresses hydraulic system operation and design from an aerospace perspective. The book covers issues of fluids and fluid flow, component operation and system design. Component sizing methods, mathematical relationships and modeling equations are presented for each component. A methodology for system level modeling and simulation is also presented. Numerous examples and worked sample problems are included. Version 2 fixes some formatting and typo issues, and adds some technical content, and clarifies technical content in a few areas.

A textbook with a thorough treatment of the history, theory, operation, servicing, and troubleshooting of hydraulic systems for all types of aircraft. The book includes a presentations of hydraulic systems from the basic physical laws, through the components, to the complete hydraulic and pneumatic systems.

Commercial Aircraft Hydraulic Systems: Shanghai Jiao Tong University Press Aerospace Series focuses on the operational principles and design technology of aircraft hydraulic systems, including the hydraulic power supply and actuation system and describing new types of structures and components such as the 2H/2E structure design method and the use of electro hydrostatic actuators (EHAs). Based on the commercial aircraft hydraulic system, this is the first textbook that describes the whole lifecycle of integrated design, analysis, and assessment methods and technologies, enabling readers to tackle challenging high-pressure and high-power hydraulic system problems in university research and industrial contexts. Commercial Aircraft Hydraulic Systems is the latest in a series published by the Shanghai Jiao Tong University Press Aerospace Series that covers the latest advances in research and development in aerospace. Its scope includes theoretical studies, design methods, and real-world implementations and applications. The readership for the series is broad, reflecting the wide range of aerospace interest and application. Titles within the series include Reliability Analysis of Dynamic Systems, Wake Vortex Control, Aeroacoustics: Fundamentals and Applications in Aeropropulsion Systems, Computational Intelligence in Aerospace Engineering, and Unsteady Flow and Aeroelasticity in Turbomachinery.

Latest developments in the electronics and communications fields present fresh challenges and opportunities for aerospace hydraulic systems. These provide the focus for this international conference on aerospace hydraulics and systems, which was organized by the Institution of Mechanical Engineers in September 1993. This volume comprises papers from all session areas and covers latest developments in valves, actuators and system control - with consideration given to the distribution of control authority. The improvement of systems reliability is also addressed, with the enhancement made possible by use of on-line monitoring methods and the use of computer simulation in performance prediction.
