Improving the efficiency of a hydraulic drive with a closed-loop hydraulic circuit

Model-Based Closed-Loop Control of the Hydraulic Fracturing Process

Direct Driven Hydraulic Drive

Hydraulic systems are widely used in industry because of the advantages of their small size-to-power ratios and their ability to produce very large linear force and torque. There are tendencies for compact electro-hydraulic systems which deliver powerful, linear movement having hydraulic oil circulation only when operating. This paper investigates directly driven hydraulic setup for non-road mo...

Simulation Techniques for Improving the Fuel Efficiency of Hydraulic Excavators

Simulation techniques to reduce the fuel consumption in hydraulic excavators are presented in three categories: first, a strongly non-linear dynamic simulation technique for a coupling system with a non-linear hydraulic system and a linkage system; second, a technique for evaluating fuel consumption in the engine when the engine powers the hydraulic pump in a digging operation performed by a hy...

Nonlinear Identification of Hydraulic Servo-Drive Systems

his article deals with the identification of nonlinear models T in observer canonical form of hydraulic servo-drives from sampled data of input-output measurements. The data are processed by a modified Recursive Instrumental Variables algorithm, to provide input-output relationships of the plant dynamics. From the parameters of the input-output relations, continuous state-space nonlinear models...

The Hydraulic Efficiency of Simple Stormwater Ponds

This paper investigates the hydrodynamic characteristics of nine stormwater pond configurations. These ponds represent an extension of earlier work by Persson (1999) who proposed the thirteen pond configurations currently used as a guide in the hydrodynamic component of the Cooperative Research Centre for Catchment Hydrology (CRCCH) Model for Urban Stormwater Improvement Conceptualisation (MUSI...
