Hydraulic assisted power steering system is a high bandwidth servo with stringent performance requirements on accuracy, reliability, and cost. Design of such a system can be best achieved by using a validated and user friendly computer simulation program. Hydraulic integrated power steering ( HIPS ) program has been developed using basic concepts from science and engineering. HIPS provides a de...

This paper proposes an efficient Tracking method for velocity control of an electro-hydraulic servo system (EHSS) in the presence of flow nonlinearities and internal friction. The tracking method controller is a kind of feedback error learning structure. In the proposed method, the Feedback Error Learning (FEL) algorithm is used to control the velocity. There is no need to compute the system ja...

In a tractor hydraulic/transmission oil contamination is a serious problem as it works in such environment, these contamination may be in different forms dust particles, water, oxidation & corrosion products ,wear metal particles. Metal wear particles plays a significant role in failure of hydraulic system such as jamming of control valve, worn out of sealing element etc. Removal of these metal...

the depth control systems used in iranian tractors are mechanical and they produce variable tillage depth in uneven field surface. in this research a rotary type electronic control valve was designed and constructed. by using this valve, electro-hydraulic tillage depth control system was developed and installed on the tractor. the control system was composed of: a depth sensor, a programmable l...

This paper investigates development of power management strategies tailored specifically to a medium truck with parallel hydraulic hybrid powertrain. The hydraulic hybrid vehicle (HHV) system is modeled in MATLAB/SIMULINK environment. As the starting point, this study considers rule-based power management strategy adopted from the previous HEV study. Dynamic Programming (DP) algorithm is used t...

District Cooling Systems (DCS) have been widely applied in large institutions such as universities, government facilities, commercial districts, airports etc. The hydraulic system of a large DCS can be very complicated. They often stem from an original design that has had extensive additions and deletions over time. Expanding or retrofitting such a system involves large capital investment. Cons...

To maintain the stability trajectory of vehicles under critical driving conditions, anti lock-anti skid controllers, consisting of four anti-lock sub-controllers for each wheel and two anti-skid sub-controllers for left and right pair wheels have been separately designed. Wheel and body systems have been simulated with seven degrees of freedom to evaluate the proper functioning of controllers. ...

this paper deals with failure prognostic in dynamic systems. The system’s remaining useful life is estimated based on residual signals. This supposes the possibility to build a dynamic model of the system by using the bond graph tool, and the existence of a degradation model in order to predict its future health state. The choice of bond graph is motivated by the fact that it is well suited for...

This study presents application of Dynamic Programming towards finding globally optimal control policies of a new, highly-efficient hydraulic elevator architecture. The architecture employs an actuator, three accumulators, and two hydraulic circuits bridged by a hydraulic transformer. An auxiliary electric motor exists only to compensate for system losses. Prior research identified a multitude ...
