The concept of a hydraulic axis plays a central role within the design and analysis of hydraulic systems. A hydraulic axis comprises working, control, and supply elements that realize a subfunction of a hydraulic system. Analyzing a system’s functional structure means to identify the hydraulic axes along with their couplings. The paper in hand addresses this problem; it presents concepts and al...

Empirical studies pose the problem of the physiological integration of the tree organism, which is also important on the scale of ecosystems. Recently, spatially distributed models emerged, which approach this problem by reflecting the close linkage between physiological processes and the structures of trees and tree stands. In the case of water flow, the tree organism can be regarded as hydrau...

[1] This study presents a stochastic inverse method for aquifer structure identification using sparse geophysical and hydraulic response data. The method is based on updating structure parameters from a transition probability model to iteratively modify the aquifer structure and parameter zonation. The method is extended to the adaptive parameterization of facies hydraulic parameters by includi...

One possible structure of a PANDA fiber is proposed and the effects of hydraulic stress on the propagation properties are studied in this work. The proposed PANDA fiber can withstand up to 1500MPa external hydraulic stress while maintaining the fundamental mode of propagation. Effects of hydraulic pressure on several propagation properties such as birefringence, beat length, effective index, di...

Several potential network structures are chosen to do a large number of experimental analysis, historical data is divided into training sample and testing sample, and the corresponding neural network model is established with BP learning algorithm. After checking the testing sample, a superior network integration model which can be applied for hydraulic metal structure health grade diagnosing i...

In the general framework of hydraulic servo systems, this paper addresses the problem of position control in the presence of important friction nonlinearities. The accent falls on the variable structure methodology, as we try to use its intrinsic robustness properties. Several friction observers, including the one based on a variable structure approach, were incorporated and tested in an accele...
