This book is based on my 36 years of experience in missile design and management at RAFAEL, Armament Development Authority, as well as on research projects executed by my graduate students and myself and my experience as a consultant to over 30 high-tech start-ups and industries. Based on my experience during the first 12 years and in parallel with my R&D jobs, I initiated an elective two semester course on the design of hydraulic and pneumatic systems at Technion — Israel Institute of Technology. For this I was appointed a senior staff member at the department of Mechanical Engineering. Along the years that I offered the course, I upgraded it constantly. Over the years it was attended by about 2,000 students during their last year of studies for their B.Sc. or their M.Sc. degrees. As a supplement, the students had to choose one of the topics they studied as a final design project supervised by my assistants. The book contains many original aspects developed over the years by me, my assistants and two dozen graduate students, whom I supervised towards their master’s or doctoral degrees. The course was elected by the dean of the Mechanical Engineering Department at the McGill University in Montreal, Canada, where I stayed for a sabbatical year as a visiting professor. There I trained the graduate students, who welcomed the combination of theory and practice. Later it was also adopted at Rafael for experienced mechanical engineers, most of them with M.Sc. degrees
