geotextiles are one of the most widely used synthetic materials in filtration and drainage applications. since in real applications, geotextiles are subjected to various hydraulic gradients and confining stresses, hydraulic behavior of geotextiles under different circumstances is of great practical importance. in this study filtration and drainage properties of several nonwoven needle-punched g...

the constitutive relationships of the rubber materials that act as the main spring of a hydraulic engine mount are nonlinear. in addition to material induced nonlinearity, further nonlinearities may be introduced by mount geometry, turbulent fluid behavior, temperature, boundary conditions, decoupler action, and hysteretic behavior. in this research all influence the behavior of the system only...

there are different methods for controling the flood damages which one of them is flood zoning. in this method, flood zones are determined by simulating river hydraulic behavior and its flood plain for different return periods.in other hand, soil and specially plant coverage are the most effective factor to determine manning roughness coefficient. so it is expected, seasonal plant coverage chan...

Impedance control of a hydraulic servoactuator joint system is discussed in this paper. Impedance control imparts a desired behavior to a system, rather than it controls position or force individually. Due to nonlinear properties of hydraulic actuators, impedance control is difficult. The control strategy presented here involves a combined feedforward and feedback control. An impedance filter m...

Stochastic modeling of soil water fluxes in the absence of measured hydraulic parameters requires a knowledge of the expected istribution of the hydraulic parameters in different soil types. Predictive relationships describing the hydraulic parameter distributions must be developed based on the common descriptors of the physical properties of soils (e.g., texture, structure, particle size distr...

In this paper the control problem of a hydraulic servo-system is addressed. The performance achievable by classical linear controllers, e.g. PD, are usually limited due to highly nonlinear behavior of the hydraulic dynamics. This paper adopts the backstepping design strategy to develop a Lyapunov-based nonlinear controller for a hydraulic servo-system. Load, hydraulic and valve dynamics are inc...

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...
