About the Course

Fluid power has the highest power density of all conventional power-transmission technologies. Learn the benefits and limitations of fluid power, how to analyze fluid power components and circuits, and how to design and simulate fluid power circuits for applications. In this course, you will be introduced to the fundamental principles and analytical modeling of fluid power components, circuits, and systems. You will learn the benefits and limitations of fluid power compared with other power transmission technologies; the operation, use, and symbols of common hydraulic components; how to formulate and analyze models of hydraulic components and circuits; and how to design and predict the performance of fluid power circuits. This course is supported by the National Science Foundation Engineering Research Center for Compact and Efficient Fluid Power, and is endorsed by the National Fluid Power Association, the leading industry trade group in fluid power....

I expect a better course from the University of Minnesota. some of the links are not working, The formulas in some of the pdfs have crashed, and the PDFs need to be regenerated. The week six quiz has only three questions, and the passing rate is 70%. Making one mistake does not allow you to reach 70%, so set it to 100% or add one more question. This kind of course affects Coursera's reputation.
