In this paper, the piezoelectric-hydraulic pump with a piezostack actuator as a driving source has been designed, fabricated, and evaluated for its application to UAV's brake system. The performance requirements of the piezoelectric-hydraulic pump were decided based on the requirements analysis of the target aircraft brake system. The geometric design of the piezoelectric-hydraulic pump to meet the performance requirements of the pump was conducted, and all components of the pump including the spring sheet type check valves were machined with close tolerance. By constructing a test apparatus for the performance check of the piezoelectric-hydraulic pump, the performance characteristics of the pump, such as the outlet flow rate for load-free condition and the outlet oil pressure for closed loop condition, have been evaluated. It has been found by the performance test result that the developed piezoelectric-hydraulic pump satisfies the design requirements effectively.

Current educational hydraulic oil systems consist of the composites for the hydraulic circuits. These systems not only could attract students' interests, but also increase the teaching efficiency during the lectures. Thus, the visual hydraulic oil system has been developed to enhance educational efficiency and to improve learning methods. With this new system, the students can easily examine the oil flow for hydraulic oil parts in mechanical engineering experiments. In order to develop the new system, the hydraulic constitute was made of acryl resin, and previous pipes were replaced by transparent and flexible tubes. Red colored oil was also used to visualize the oil flow. Furthermore, if OHP (Over Head Projector) was used for a theoretical lectures, the visual units can be used to classify the differences of the valve structure or the circuits. If lecturers use the developed visual hydraulic system, students can make an effective experiment on the basic theories and principles. Therefore, we can promote the students' interests and materialize the objectives of the subject. The results of this paper can be widely used to improve the efficiency of the mechanical engineering education.

The purpose of this paper is to find an effective control system for a hydraulic motor-load system using matlab. The Hydraulic control system consists of a hydraulic pump, a hydraulic proportional control valve, hydraulic pipelines, a hydraulic motor and a load system. The simulation models were verified by comparing the simulation results with measured data from the real hydraulic proportional position control system. In order to compensate the nonlinear friction characteristics in a hydraulic motor-load system, a discrete time PD controller and Friction torque observer has been applied.

전기유압식 액튜에이터의 시간영역내에서의 성능을 향상시키기 위해서 최적제어이론을 적용하였다. 계통의 정량적인 성능을 이차성능지수로 표시햐였다. 유압 액튜에이터와 밸브의 선형적인 전달특성을 이용해서 계통의 상태방정식을 세우고 리카티 방정식의 해를 컴퓨터로 구해서 계통의 최적입력을 결정하였다. 이상과 같이 만들어진 최적제어계통의 변위, 속도, 가속도의 과도응답을 구하기 위해서 아날로그 컴퓨터를 사용하고 그 응답과 P.W.M. 계통의 응답을 비교한 결과, 최적제어계통이 더욱 빠르고 안정된 응답을 나타냄을 알았다. 그 비교를 구체적이고 정량적으로 행하기 위해서 성능지수곡선을 구해서 비교한 결과 그 성능지수의 척도로 볼때 최적제어계통이 P.W.M. 계통보다 약 35% 까지 우수하다는 결론을 얻었다.

This paper discusses automation of a small-scale hydraulic shovel and its trajectory control. To move an end-effect (grinder) along a desired trajectory, the controller uses PID(proportional-integral- defferential) control and internal pressure of hydraulic cylinder. To apply PID control in the present hydraulic system, the system model is derived physically and its system parameters are obtained by actual measurement. To show the effectiveness of the PID controller and propriety of system model, the computer simulations and experiments are performed. These results of the simulations and experiments indicate that the PID trajectory control of robotic deburring by hydraulic shovel is very effective.

This study specifies the flow control characteristics of a flow control valve(FCV) in a submerged cargo pumping system through experiments and simulations. In the experiments, the functions of the major components of the FCV in relation to the FCV's flow characteristics are presented clearly. Through the simulations, it is shown that the simulation program suggested in this study can be utilized for the design of the FCV.

High speed on-off electro-magnetic valves have been used for pressure control or flow control in automotive or construction machine servomechanisms. These systems require quicker valve switching speed to improve control preciseness. The authors designed and manufactured an electric valve driver with quick response characteristics by using 3 power source type valve driver concept. In experiments by using a hydraulic system incorporating the new valve driver, the new driver shortened the switching lag time from 5 ms to 1.3 ms. And also the new driver showed excellent position tracking control performances.
