Merritt is an excellent
(although old and expensive) book on modeling of
hydraulics components and systems that is still
being heavily used by researchers. Sullivan is
written more in a regular text book style and
discusses components, circuits and analysis.
Cundiff is a good introductory book written for
practicing engineers.
