Fluid Power 8
Fluid Power 8
Newton's second law of motion which states that the induced force is
directly proportional to the acceleration of the body and the summation
of external forces acting on the body is equal to the inertial force
of the body itself .
. Conservation of energy : where the energy of the body is conserved
but it changes from one shape to another as the body changes its
position or state
. Finite element modelling is the most precise numerical way of modelling.
It is handled by dividing the body into small pieces to be
analysed and studied. this can represent the virtual real behaviour of
the system .
. Modal analysis is performed by installing measurement sensors on different
parts of the system. The signals retrieved from these sensors
are inserted into a mathematical calculation to simulate the real behaviour
of the system

G1(s) = Actuator 1 transfer function
G2(s) = Actuator 2 transfer function
H(s) = Controller (compensator) transfer function
Y = Displacement of the actuators
Ex: Consider an electric motor with a voltage V and current I, produces a torque T and angular speed
ω. The motor drives a hydraulic pump that produces a flow rate Q and capable of operating a system
at a pressure P.
Find the impedance values at the inputs and outputs for both; the motor and the pump and the
overall transfer functionsflSolution
For the electric motor:
Input impedance = e1/f1 = V/I
Output impedance = e2/f2 = T/ω
Transfer functions:
E2/e1 = T/ V
Assume the linear hydraulic actuator shown in 3.16 where the input is the force caused by the fluid displacement x and the
output is the piston rod displacement y. The load mass is 1000kg, the hydraulic stiffness of the oil is k =
