Analysis of Mechanical-Hydraulic Cooperative Response of Hydraulic Support Under Roof Rotary Impact

Modeling and Control of Hydraulic Rotary Actuators

The steps for modeling and control of a hydraulic rotary actuator are discussed. Our aim is to present experimental results working with a particular sensing device for angular position as a complement to pressure sensing devices. We provide the steps in experimental system identification used for modeling the system dynamics. The cascade controller designed contains an inner loop for an accura...

Effect of Raindrops Impact on Hydraulic Properties of the Rill Flow under Slope Gradients

Few studies have been done regarding the role of the raindrop in the hydrodinamic mechanism of soil erosion. In this study, rainfall simulation experiments were conducted to evaluate the role of raindrop in runoff discharge, sediment concentration and hydraulic properties of flow under four slope gradients (5, 10, 15 and 20%) in a clay soil using a 90 mm.h-1 rainfall intensity to reach the stea...

Investigation of a hydraulic impact

Finite element method and dimensional analysis have been applied in the present paper to study a hydraulic impact, which is used in a non-explosive rock breaking technology in mining industry. The impact process of a high speed piston on liquid water, previously introduced in a borehole drilled in rock, is numerically simulated. The research is focused on the influence of all the parameters inv...

Analysis of mechanical-hydraulic bedload deposition control measures

During floods, the bedload transport of steep headwaters can exceed the hydraulic transport capacity of milder downstream reaches where settlements are often situated. Therefore, sediment retention barriers are typically installed upstream of such sensible areas. These barriers trigger bedload trapping via two control mechanisms, either hydraulic or mechanical. Both deposition controls, pertain...
