Aims & Learning Objectives:
To build on the work of the FP1 and FP2 units by concentrating on various aspects that influence the design of hydraulic systems.
After taking this unit the student should be able to:
Select components for the design of hydraulic systems. Understand and analyse the performance of such systems.
Content:
Determination of System Loads: Concept of load locus, Duty cycles for various applications.
Systems Technology: Valve control of actuators, Electrohydraulic valves, Displacement control for pumps and motors, Power economy.
System Analysis: Fluid compressibility effects, Servo control dynamics.
Design Exercises: Examples of linear actuator and motor applications, Use of Bathfp hydraulic system computer simulation package.
