Hydraulic and Pneumatic Drives

Dear Colleagues,

Hydraulic and pneumatic systems are widely used in stationary and mobile equipment, in most cases being duplicated by specialized controls, from manual, mechanical, and electrical, to electronic, which makes these systems fast, accurate, efficient, and reliable, and can be digitally connected to process control. Thus, these systems are significantly included in the automotive, naval, and heavy industries, in the field of mobile equipment, and in the field of alternative energies, etc. Knowledge of the role played by each component is required in order to increase the productivity and precision of action.

Researchers from around the world who are interested in contributing to this Special Issue are invited to share their latest high-quality results and recent trends in future developments in the field. This Special Issue is a good opportunity to present the results, achievements, and developments of research and development units and higher education institutions in the field of hydraulic and pneumatic drives, so as to achieve the integration of all researchers in international scientific communities, as well as to increase the visibility of contribution to international scientific heritage.
