Pneumatic Drives

Focusing on the historical development of pneumatic systems, the book explores the evolution from ancient innovations to modern applications. It addresses the gap in existing literature, which often emphasizes steady-state behavior over theoretical analysis and design. By integrating various scientific disciplines such as fluid mechanics and control theory, it aims to provide engineers with the necessary mathematical models for simulation, facilitating design testing before hardware construction. The work is particularly relevant in the context of today's advanced digital computing capabilities.
