Publisher's Synopsis
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.
