Acoustic emission (AE) analysis allows nondestructive monitoring of embolism formation in plant xylem, but signal interpretation and agreement of acoustically measured hydraulic vulnerability with reference hydraulic techniques remain under debate. We compared the hydraulic vulnerability of 16 species and three crop tree cultivars using hydraulic flow measurements and acoustic emission monitori...

abstract the saturated hydraulic conductivity (ks) is an important physical property of soil. the direct measurement of this property in soils is a difficult and time consuming process. pedotransfer functions (ptfs) provide an alternative by estimating soil parameters from more readily available soil data. the objective of this study is to determine effective factors on soil hydraulic conductiv...

The hydraulic system of mobile garbage compression equipment was studied according to its actual working conditions. A simulation model of the hydraulic system was established with AMESim software, and the speed and acceleration of the piston rod were simulated. Simulation results show that the designed hydraulic system can achieve the action requirements. The experiment also shows the similar ...

By using the theory of artificial intelligence fault diagnosis of hydraulic excavator of several basic problems are discussed in this paper, the artificial intelligence neural network model is established for the fault diagnosis of hydraulic system; the combined application of fault diagnosis analysis (FTA) and artificial neural network is evaluated. In view of the hydraulic excavator failure s...

In this paper, numerical simulations of circular boreholes under internal hydraulic pressure are carried out to investigate the energy transferred to the surrounding rock and the breakdown pressure. The simulations are conducted by using a micromechanical continuum damage model proposed by Golshani et al. (2006). The simulation results suggest that the borehole breakdown pressure and the energy...

This paper presents a method to predict and evaluate effects of hydraulic fracturing jobs by using reservoir and well flow numerical simulation. The concept of the method i5 that steam production rate at the operating well head pressure is predicted with different fracture conditions which would be attained by the hydraulic fracturing jobs. Then, the effects of the hydraulic fracturing is evalu...

seepage analysis through earth dams is employed to determine the water loss. moreover, as the magnitude of pore pressure in dam body is calculated using seepage analysis, this analysis plays an important role on the stability analysis in these types of structures. as the hydraulic conductivity of the earth dam materials, is considered as one of the effective parameters on the magnitude of seepa...

This paper details the new design and dynamic simulation of an electro-hydraulic camless engine valve actuator (EH-CEVA) and experimental verification with lift position sensors. In general, camless engine technologies have been known for improving fuel efficiency, enhancing power output, and reducing emissions of internal combustion engines. Electro-hydraulic valve actuators are used to elimin...

Hydraulic radius is an important parameter in hydraulic calculation. It often deemed that can be replaced by the cross-sectional average water depth when width to ratio ( B/H ) greater than a certain value traditional. Based on various artificial cross-section and natural ones, value-taking errors of are studied this paper. The results show it feasible adopt as rectangular section larger 40 or ...
