Absolute Stability Condition Derivation for Position Closed-Loop System in Hydraulic Automatic Gauge Control

Abstract

In the metallurgical industry, hydraulic automatic gauge control (HAGC) is a core mechanism for thickness control of plates used in the rolling process. The stability of the HAGC system’s kernel position closed-loop is key to ensuring a process with high precision, speed and reliability. However, the closed-loop position control system is typically nonlinear, and its stability is affected by several factors, making it difficult to analyze instability in the system. This paper describes in detail the functioning of the position closed-loop system. A mathematical model of each component was established using theoretical analysis. An incremental transfer model of the position closed-loop system was also derived by studying the connections between each component. In addition, based on the derived information transfer relationship, a transfer block diagram of disturbance quantity of the system was established. Furthermore, the Popov frequency criterion method was introduced to ascertain its absolute stability. The results indicate that the absolute stability conditions of the position closed-loop system are derived in two situations: when spool displacement is positive or negative. This study lays a theoretical foundation for research on the instability mechanism of an HAGC system.

Influence of Critical Wall Roughness on the Performance of Double-Channel Sewage Pump

“…With the rapid development of computer technology, numerical simulation is increasingly widely used in the fluid flow [27][28][29][30][31][32][33]. Guelich et al [34] studied the effect of wall roughness on the efficiency Energies 2020, 13, 464 3 of 20 of centrifugal pumps.…”

“…In terms of roughness, the total pressure loss value was reduced by 23.1% compared to the smooth blade. Han et al [26] used numerical methods to study the influence of blade surface roughness on the internal flow field and characteristic parameters of the compressor under the compressor-level environment and found that the blade roughness had a significant effect on the main performance parameters of the compressor; with the blade roughness with the increase of the compressor, the performance degradation of the compressor stage was intensified, and the energy loss of the internal airflow was increased, especially the energy loss of the airflow near the middle and upper part of the leading edge of the impeller was severe, and the temperature of the blade end wall was increased.With the rapid development of computer technology, numerical simulation is increasingly widely used in the fluid flow [27][28][29][30][31][32][33].
