Digitally controlled electrohydraulic (EH) closed-center valves and load sensing hydraulic pump systems have been quickly replacing the older generation of hydro-mechanically controlled (pilot actuated, mechanically controlled) open-center valves and fixed displacement pump systems in mobile equipment applications such as earth moving and construction equipment (i.e. wheel loaders, excavators, ...

In the paper the application of haptic joystick with magneto-rheological (MR) brake in control of electrohydraulic drive is presented. Two impedance and admittance control methods are shown. Basing on main equations describing electrohydraulic drive, the simulation model of an admittance control system is proposed. The results of chosen simulations are presented.

This paper focuses on optimal hydraulic component selection for electrohydraulic systems used in high performance servo tasks. Dynamic models of low complexity are proposed that describe the salient dynamics of basic electrohydraulic equipment. Rigid body equations of motion, the hydraulic dynamics and typical trajectory inputs are used in conjunction with optimization techniques, to yield an o...

Abstract: The paper presents a new control strategy for active vehicle suspensions using electrohydraulic actuators based on Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) fuzzy modelling technique. As the electrohydraulic actuator dynamics is highly nonlinear, the T-S fuzzy modelling technique using the idea of “sector nonlinearity” is applied to exactly represent the nonlinear dynamics of electrohydraulic actuator in a...

Real-time learning control of a hydraulic actuator is studied using a cerebellar model articulation controller (CMAC) neural network architecture. Experiments are conducted on a onedegree-of-freedom hydraulic cylinder. The main applications considered are the earth-moving equipment applications. The electrohydraulic valve used to control the flow in the hydraulic circuit is an open-centre non-p...

In general, the first and the most important step in system analysis, prediction and control is the proper model of the system. In order to design the controller of nonlinear electrohydraulic system, several modeling techniques are proposed: the transfer function of the electrohydraulic system is identified using first-principle method, and the intelligent models are built by fuzzy modeling and...

In the paper a control of electrohydraulic drive made by human operator which uses a special haptic joystick is presented.

The paper presents the system stability problem which can occur when in communication with operator, force feedba...

This paper deals with the position control of a hydraulic actuator regulated by a proportional directional control valve. The control algorithms based on the proportional-derivative controller have been applied to a specially designed two-channel electro-hydraulic servo system, which has the capacity to experimentally simulate common circumstances of a typical fluid power circuit. The first sys...
