About the course

Aim

The course is intended to give a broad knowledge in hydraulic system design. After the course, the student should:

be able to analyze and discuss fluid power systems in terms of performance, power consumption, controllability and dynamic properties.
be able to model and implement dynamic analyses of fluid power systems.
be able to create and apply calculation basis for component selection and system design.
be able to explain component functions and component characteristics in the field of fluid power.
be able to incorporate and account for research literature in relevant journals.

Content

Hydraulic machines: Design of different types of pumps and motors. Analyses of losses and efficiency models. Flow pulsations from hydraulic machines. Control actuators for variable displacement machines. Dynamic properties of hydraulic machines. Simulation and optimization of fluid power pumps/motors.

Transmission systems: Mobile and industrial applications. Completely hydraulic and hydro mechanical divided types of transmissions - principles of automatic control and dynamic characteristics. Servo systems for control of shaft speed and torque. Simulation of transmission drive systems.

Valve-controlled systems: Steady state and dynamic properties of pressure and flow control valves. Mobile and industrial applications. Open and closed systems. Load sensing hydraulic systems. Simuation of valve-controlled systems.

Examiner: Liselott Ericson
Scheduled hours: 51 h
Main field of study: Maskinteknik
