The street hydraulic capacity to convey storm water is dictated by the street gutter geometry and hydraulic characteristics. With the consideration of traffic safety, the street hydraulic conveyance capacity is also subject to a reduction defined by the water velocity and flow depth in the street gutter. In this study, the street hydraulic equation is re-arranged to demonstrate that the water v...

This article presents the design of a robust force controller for a hydraulic actuator interacting with an uncertain environment via quantitative feedback theory (QFT). After the derivation of a realistic nonlinear differential equation model, a linearized plant transfer function is developed. The effects of nonlinearities are accounted for by describing the linearized model parameters as struc...

Multi-objective genetic algorithm (GAs) is used for pump design pareto optimization, competing objectives for centrifugal pump design are total head (H), input power (Ps), hydraulic efficiency ( H η ), and input parameter are capacity (Q), and the outer radius of the impeller ( ). Multi-objective presents a set of compromised solution, and provides non-dominated optimal choices for designer. 2 ...

The dynamics of hydraulic systems are highly nonlinear and the system may be subjected to non-smooth and discontinuous nonlinearities due to directional change of valve opening, friction, etc. Aside from the nonlinear nature of hydraulic dynamics, hydraulic servo systems also have large extent of model uncertainties. To address these challenging issues, a robust state-feedback controller is des...

Small and middle size enterprises (SMEs) are the mainstream of the fluid power industry in China. They are involved unwillingly in the information world but lack of plenty of weapons to fight in the nowadays market. The web based product design system of hydraulic systems is discussed in the article, which is supposed to provide SMEs of fluid power to sharp their innovation ability to survive t...
