This paper will address two issues associated with the implementation of a hydraulically powered dissimilar muster-slave teleoperated system. These issues are the overall system control architecture and the design of robust hydraulic servo controllers for the position control problem. Finally, a discussion of overall system performance on an actual teleoperated system will be presented. (Schill...

This paper presents a modeling approach based on Bond Graph (BG) method for offshore hydraulic crane focusing on its hydraulic system characteristics. A hydraulic library is built in the modeling software tool 20-sim using BG elements. The hydraulic submodels are designed according to one specific type of offshore crane, however, they can be easily modified and reused for other similar systems....

Most field soils exhibit soil spatial variability as well as soil structure. The challenge is to account adequately for both types of spatial heterogeneity in simulation models. A numerical finite element code was used to compare singleand dual-permeability approaches for modeling variably saturated flow and transport in two-dimensional heterogeneous soil systems. The code was based on the Rich...

Heavy-duty vehicle hydrodynamic mechanical automatic transmission shifting operation system was designed, mathematical model of its simplified hydraulic system was established and simulation model of shifting operation system was established with AMESim, the simulation experiment was carried out, then oil pressure curves of each clutch hydraulic cylinder were obtained when giving forward gear o...

This paper describes the development of linear parameter varying (LPV) models and an LPV-H∞ controller for one degree of freedom (DoF) electro-hydraulic systems. A virtual set-up consists of a hydraulic actuator driven by a servovalve and supplied from a constant-pressure power unit. The LPV models are derived based on two techniques: black-box modeling and the analytical description of the sys...
