Optimization of Hydraulic Systems by Means of Numerical Simulation

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference proceedings

Abstract

Simulations are nowadays used to analyse system behaviour investigating the role of Design Parameters for system performance. Furthermore, it is possible to simulate various scenarios and to determine the behaviour of the system at its limits. In this paper several possibilities of system optimization are discussed, exemplified on a novel fast hydraulic position actuator. This actuator can be used, e. g., for driving a large and fast hydraulic switching valve. Deriving a simple analytic model to get the essential Design Parameters and using numerical simulation to optimize a possible realisation are discussed in this paper.
