Generally, the electro-hydraulic system (EHS) has force and position controls. The control of these parameters to the desired value multiple PID controllers are often used, which are sensitive to changes in system parameters. In addition, the existing EHS is often used as a single proportional direction control valve (PDCV) to control those parameters that cause loss and waste energy. Therefore, in this paper, a fuzzy controller is proposed to control force and position. Simultaneously, the EHS that is used for control will be added the inverter to adjust the speed of the electric motor (EM) to drive a fixed displacement gear pump, and a proportional pressure relief valve (PPRV), in order to save energy. A proposed fuzzy controller and the EHS are implemented to the hydraulic press. The experimental results showed that the hybrid of force and position control by using a fuzzy controller has a superior performance compared to the multiple PID controllers. Moreover, the proposed EHS is also more effective in saving power consumption than conventional EHS.
This paper presents a link between virtual and physical prototyping which was applied to the servo-pneumatic system. The development began with the study and design. Next, virtual prototyping, this stage is the integration of aided design, programming design, and simulation design to demonstration the functionality of the virtual servo-pneumatic prototype in a computer environment. After that, the virtual prototype which is verified and optimized to be used a physical prototyping. Finally, links the two together, this link represents be a human-machine interface system. The experimental results were satisfactory. Thus, may be said that this is both to enhance of the performance and efficiency of prototyping in current mechatronics system.
This paper presents a new approach for reducing energy consumption coupled with force and position controls in the electro-hydraulic systems (EHS). The EHS inverter will be added for control to vary the speed of electric motor driven hydraulic pump. In addition, a single directional control valve is used to control the system parameters, which cause loss of energy. The main objective of this research is to numerically analyze the energy loss in the new control approach in the EHS with the inverter by using a simple directional control valve. The spool displacements of 4/3 hydraulic closed center directional control valve, transient flow-pressure coefficient and energy loss were simulated with computational fluid dynamics (CFD). In addition, this paper presents CFD results. The relationships of flow rate variables with time-dependent pressure drop and energy loss were addressed. The flow behaviors related with transient flow-pressure coefficients were also discussed. It is found that the loss of energy increases, depending on both the large opening spool displacement and the inlet flow variable.
The objective of the present paper is a numerical analysis of the transient flow through a 4/3 hydraulic closed center direction control valve. The real-time discharge coefficients corresponding to supply flow difference have been considered. In order to develop an intelligent control system for an electro-hydraulic system (EHS), a new controller has recently been proposed to control those parameters in a complex system. However, a mathematical model of the EHS including the transient parameters has not been clarified. The main objective of this paper is to numerically analyze the dynamic characteristics of the directional control valve and also the flow behaviors in the electro-hydraulic system control. Both the steady state and transient flow though the valve which affect to flow-pressure coefficient were numerically considered. Moreover, this paper presents numerical results, which explain the flow behaviors related with the real-time pressure drop and discharge coefficient. Both a high inlet flow and a large opening spool have determined the pressure drop increment.
The flow around an elastic body is treated as a fluid-structure interaction (FSI), numerous fluid-structure coupled problems have been performed. Recently, two-way coupled analysis, which considers the fluid-structure interaction, has been performed extensively. In the present paper, we simulate a flow field around an elastic heaving flat plate with a variable surface shape and various Young’s moduli and perform bi-directional coupling analysis using ANSYS 12.1/ANSYS-CFX 12.1. In the case of the results without projection, the vorticity that grows along the plate surface, rolled up from the trailing edge, and developed in the wake are dependent on Strouhal number, independent of the Young’s modulus. However, in the case of the results with the projections, the vortex behaviors are different with the Young’s modulus. At E = 3.53 [MPa], the projections effect on the vortex behavior and the dynamic thrust exhibit approximately the same tendency with or without a projection. On the other hand, at E = 10.0 [MPa], the projection effect has an impact on the vortex behavior and the dynamic thrust. The vorticity and the dynamic thrust of E = 10.0 [MPa] become smaller than that of E = 3.53 [MPa] because of strong effects from the projections of the heaving elastic plate.
The development of an intelligence control system has presently been widely studied for application in areas of automation industries, especially an electro-hydraulic system (EHS). Usually, it has the position, force and speed controls which are sensitive to change in the system parameters. Hence, a multi-input multi-output (MIMO) fuzzy controller has recently been proposed to control those parameters in a complex system. However, a mathematical model of the EHS which included the dynamic parameters has not yet been clarified. The objective of this paper is to analyze numerically the dynamic characteristics of the directional control valve (DCV) and also the flow behaviors in the electro-hydraulic system control. The spool displacements of 4/3 hydraulic closed center DCV and flow-pressure coefficient were simulated with the computational fluid dynamics (CFD). Furthermore, this paper presents CFD results, which explain the flow behaviors related with the dynamic characteristics of flow-pressure coefficient. The simulation results show that those coefficients show non-linear correlation with the opening spool displacements.
