This book was released on 2017-08-17 with total page 55 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis deals with control aspects of complex hydromechanical transmissions. The overall purpose is to increase the knowledge of important aspects to consider during the development of hydromechanical transmissions to ensure transmission functionality. These include ways of evaluating control strategies in early design stages as well as dynamic properties and control aspects of displacement controllers, which are key components in these systems. Fuel prices and environmental concerns are factors that drive research on propulsion in heavy construction machinery. Hydromechanical transmissions are strong competitors to conventional torque-converter transmissions used in this application today. They offer high efficiency and wide speed/torque conversion ranges, and may easily be converted to hybrids that allow further fuel savings through energy recuperation. One challenge with hydromechanical transmissions is that they offer many different configurations, which in turn makes it important to enable evaluation of control aspects in early design stages. In this thesis, hardware-in-the-loop simulations, which blend hardware tests and standard software-based simulations, are considered to be a suitable method. A multiple-mode transmission applied to a mid-sized construction machine is modelled and evaluated in offline simulations as well as in hardware-in-the-loopsimulations. Hydromechanical transmissions rely on efficient variable pumps/motors with fast, accurate displacement controllers. This thesis studies the dynamic behaviour of the displacement controller in swash-plate axial-piston pumps/motors. A novel control approach in which the displacement is measured with an external sensor is proposed. Performance and limitations of the approach are tested in simulations and in experiments. The experiments showed a significantly improved performance with a controller that is slightly more advanced than a standard proportional controller. The implementation of the controller allows simple tuning and good predictability of the displacement response.

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Force and motion control systems of varying degrees of sophistication have shaped the lives of all individuals living in industrialized countries all over the world, and together with communication technology are largely responsible for the high standard ofliving prevalent in many communities. The brains of the vast majority of current control systems are electronic, in the shape of computers, microprocessors or programmable logic controllers (PLC), the nerves are provided by sensors, mainly electromech anical transducers, and the muscle comprises the drive system, in most cases either electric, pneumatic or hydraulic. The factors governing the choice of the most suitable drive are the nature of the application, the performance specification, size, weight, environ mental and safety constraints, with higher power levels favouring hydraulic drives. Past experience, especially in the machine tool sector, has clearly shown that, in the face of competition from electric drives, it is difficult to make a convincing case for hydraulic drives at the bottom end of the power at fractional horsepower level. A further, and frequently range, specifically overriding factor in the choice of drive is the familiarity of the system designer with a particular discipline, which can inhibit the selection of the optimum and most cost-effective solution for a given application. One of the objectives of this book is to help the electrical engineer overcome his natural reluctance to apply any other than electric drives.

Download or read book Novel Hydrostatic Fluid Power Actuators written by James Michael Simonelli and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 125 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hydrostatic fluid power actuators are versatile tools that have wide and varied applications to real-world engineering problems. Their high stiffness, haptic feedback, and force/displacement scaling can be harnessed to solve issues other actuators struggle with. This research presents the creation of two novel actuators and their applications: a piezo-hydraulic fast tool servo (FTS) and a Magnetic Resonance (MR) compatible actuator for remote robotic interventions. The FTS device, featuring motion amplification of the piezoelectric displacement, was designed and modeled, then fabricated and controlled to track a non-circular engine piston profile by Iterative Learning Control and Repetitive Control. The actuators for the MR robotic system---featuring back-drivable motion and force transmission over a significant distance---are designed, fabricated, and characterized to show many desirable properties. These actuators are the basis for a 1DOF stage for the emulation of respiratory motion in-bore, which was characterized, controlled, and shown to track recorded motion with acceptable error. These actuators were then used to realize co-robotic control of a 1DOF manipulator, demonstrating multiple modes of collaboration. Finally, a master-slave pair comprised part of a hardware-in-the-loop simulation of closed-loop control under MR image feedback using adaptive control. Results were analyzed to provide recommendations for a time when the full system, complete with image feedback, can be assembled.
