The Hydraulic excavator machines are heavy duty earth mover consisting of a boom, arm and bucket. It works on principle of hydraulic fluid with hydraulic cylinder and hydraulic motors. The Hydraulic excavator backhoe operation require coordinated movement of boom, arm and bucket to control the bucket tip position by following a desired trajectory and to use the excavator machines effectively in...

A practical approach to design a feedforward-plus-proportional-integral-derivative (FPID) controller for accurate and smooth velocity control on a hydraulic linear actuator is presented. The integrated controller consists of a feedforward loop and a PID loop. The feedforward loop is designed to compensate for the nonlinearity of the electrohydraulic system, including the deadband of the system ...

Reciprocating compressors are flexible to handle wide capacity and condition swings, offer a very efficient method of compressing almost any gas mixture in wide range of pressure, can generate high head independent of density, and have numerous applications and wide power ratings. These make them vital component in various units of industrial plants. In this paper optimum reciprocating compress...

Swelling of clay-sulfate rocks is a major threat in tunneling. It is triggered by the transformation of the sulfate mineral anhydrite into gypsum as a result of water inflow in anhydrite-containing layers after tunnel excavation. The present study investigates the hydraulic effects of tunneling on groundwater flow and analyzes how hydraulic changes caused by excavation lead to water inflow into...

In the present study, conjugate heat transfer (CHT) calculations are applied in a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation to simultaneously solve in-cylinder gas phase and temperature field within liner of engine. The effects different initial temperatures with linear profiles across investigated on wall as well sulfuric acid formation condensation. temporal spatial behavior condensation ...

Hydraulic excavator energy saving is important to relieve source shortage and protect environment. This paper mainly discusses the energy saving for the hybrid hydraulic excavator. By analyzing the excess energy of three hydraulic cylinders in the conventional hydraulic excavator, a new boom potential energy recovery system is proposed. The mathematical models of the main components including b...
