This book is the first of a series of volumes that cover the topic of aerospace actuators following a systems-based approach. This first volume provides general information on actuators and their reliability, and focuses on hydraulically supplied actuators. Emphasis is put on hydraulic power actuators as a technology that is used extensively for all aircraft, including newer aircraft. Currently, takeovers by major corporations of smaller companies in this field is threatening the expertise of aerospace hydraulics and has inevitably led to a loss of expertise.

Produktbeschreibung
This book is the first of a series of volumes that cover the topic of aerospace actuators following a systems-based approach. This first volume provides general information on actuators and their reliability, and focuses on hydraulically supplied actuators. Emphasis is put on hydraulic power actuators as a technology that is used extensively for all aircraft, including newer aircraft. Currently, takeovers by major corporations of smaller companies in this field is threatening the expertise of aerospace hydraulics and has inevitably led to a loss of expertise. Further removal of hydraulics teaching in engineering degrees means there is a need to capitalize efforts in this field in order to move it forward as a means of providing safer, greener, cheaper and faster aerospace services. The topics covered in this set of books constitute a significant source of information for individuals and engineers seeking to learn more about aerospace hydraulics.
Autorenporträt
Jean-Charles Maré is a Professor at Institut National des Sciences Appliquées (INSA), Toulouse, France. He holds a degree in mechanical engineering from INSA and a doctorate from Université de Lyon, France. He teaches mechanic and fluid power systems with special focus on architecture design and system-level modeling and simulation. In charge of research activity at Institut Clément Ader in Toulouse, France, he has created a team working on embedded actuation systems and components. His expertise includes preliminary design, virtual prototyping, and testing of safety-critical actuators for aerospace applications. Since the early 2000s, he has been a regular contributor to numerous research projects dealing with more electric actuation for aerospace. He is a member of the SAE A-6 technical committee, the author of Aerospace Actuators, a three-volume book series, and chair of the International Conference on Recent Advances in Aerospace Actuation Systems and Components (R3ASC) that he initiated in 2001.
