Fluid Power Actuators for Structural Control - An Overview

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference proceedingspeer-review

Abstract

Fluid power actuators have performance characteristics that make them best solutions for several structural control applications. Various types are compared with respect to their performance characteristics. A simple truss/beam model is set-up to assess the appropriateness of fluid power actuators and compare them with piezoelectric actuators. Non functional criteria are discussed and the potential of hydraulic switching control is highlighted.
