Hydraulic excavator consists of booms, arms, bucket, and cylinder. The cylinder make these structures moved and the cushion parts of cylinder in operation absorb the great impact which is stemmed from high velocity and pressure at cushion parts of cylinders. The cushion technology of cylinders has a great effect on the operator's comfortable as well as protecting equipment from damage by suppressing the inertia of the hydraulic excavator. In this study, three hydraulic cylinders have different shapes of a cushion ring, respectively. we studied optimal cushion pattern by analyzing the change of cushion pressure and time, according to supply pressure and velocity variations.

An experimental study is performed to investigate the characteristics of near wake flow behind a circular cylinder with serrated fins using a constant temperature anemometer and flow visualization. Various vortex shedding modes are observed. Fin height and pitch are closely related to the vortex shedding frequency after a certain transient Reynolds number. The through velocity across the fins decreases with increasing fin height and decreasing fin pitch. Vortex shedding is affected strongly by the velocity distribution just on top of the finned tube. The weaker gradient of velocity distribution is shown as increasing the freestream velocity and the fin height, while decreasing the fin pitch. The weaker velocity gradient delays the entrainment flow and weakens its strength. As a result of this phenomenon, vortex shedding is decreased. The effective diameter is defined as a virtual circular cylinder diameter taking into account the volume of fins, while the hydraulic diameter is proposed to cover the effect of friction by the fin surfaces. The Strouhal number based upon the effective diameters seems to correlate well with that of a circular cylinder without fins. After a certain transient Reynolds number, the trend of the Strouhal number can be estimated by checking the ratio of effective diameter to inner diameter. The normalized velocity and turbulent intensity distributions with the hydraulic diameter exhibit the best correlation with the circular cylinder's data.

The measurements of velocity vectors are made in the near wake(X/d=5.0) of a circular cylinder with serrated fins. Velocity of fluid which flow through fins decreases as increasing fin height and freestream velocity and decreasing fin pitch. Therefore the velocity distribution at X/d=0.0 has lower gradient with increasing freestream velocity and fin height and decreasing fin pitch. The discontinuity of the streamwise velocity gradient is observed near the fin edge and causes significant changes in V-component velocity distribution in the near wake. This change attributes to the differences in Strouhal number and entraintment flow behavior. Increased turbulent intensity around a circular cylinder due to the serrated fins and entrainment flow are important factors for the recovery of velocity defect. The widths of velocity and turbulent intensity distribution of fin tubes are wider than those of a circular cylinder. The normalized velocity and turbulent intensity distributions with a hydraulic diameter which is proposed in this paper are in closer agreement with those of a circular cylinder.

For the design of synergistic hydraulic motion simulator, the load locus method is introduced. The given mass property of load and its velocity profile is resolved into the load locus of each actuator which decides the suitable valve and cylinder. This asymmtic cylinder and 4 way valve system have the pressure oscillation on zero velocity. The variable structure position controller which based on linearized flow equation makes elimination of the unstable pressure oscillation.

For position control of electro-hydraulic servo system, single rod cylinders and double rod cylinders are used. Single rod cylinders have simple structure for manufacturing but different volume ratio of two sides induce to non-linearity in process of then mathematical modeling. So only with conventional PID control method it is difficult to control single rod cylinders precisely. For mole precise position control of single rod cylinders, a controller which is inserted a velocity feedback PID controller and MRAC controller are proposed. With experiment control performances of three control methods are compared. In case of experiment, for external varying load to the system, a hydraulic cylinder and a pressure control valve are used. In conclusion a MRAC is considered a suitable control method for external varying load.

In this study, a metering cylinder was constructed, and the velocity obtained from the linear velocity transducer (LVT) of the cylinder piston was used to evaluate the dynamic performance of an electro-hydraulic servovalve. Frequency response experiments involving the spool displacement and piston velocity (LVT signal) were conducted with different input signal amplitudes, hydraulic pipe diameters, and supply pressures. The spool displacement signal accurately reflected the performance of the servovalve. Meanwhile, the -3 dB bandwidth frequency of the LVT signal was similar to the spool displacement signal, except for a small-amplitude input signal, and the $-90^{\circ}$ phase lag bandwidth frequency showed some differences.

A novel actuator with built-in the displacement and the thrust control function is presented in this paper. This actuator is a kind of compact hydraulic cylinder system which consists of a hydraulic cylinder, a spool, a sleeve, a mechanical feedback mechanism and a stepping motor. The displacement and thrust is in proportion to the rotational angle of stepping motor by the mechanical feedback. In order to investigate characteristics of this actuator, simulation study and preliminary experiments are conducted. Through the preliminary experiment this actuator is very effective in the control for displacement and thrust. Also, it became obvious that the stability of system can be adjusted by using the restrictor with the effect of velocity feedback. Furthermore, this paper explained that a flexible compliance control could be realized by adjusting the feedback weighting in the actuator.

This study aimed to analyze the performance of hydraulic systems for dental chair when long working hours makes the temperature of hydraulic fluid rise. The study was carried out in the following manner. First, 'cylinder's clearance' was reflected in the three kinds of hydraulic circuits, which were developed through the preceding study, in order to analyze oil leak. Second, 12 cases of simulations comprised of the up and down of cylinders were carried out. Third, it was determined whether the cylinder velocity of dental chair surpasses 1cm/s required in the development even in the hydraulic fluid temperature of 60℃. In conclusion, this study used SimulationX to verify the performance stability at high temperatures using three types of hydraulic circuits designed to develop a Korean unit chair.

This paper deals with the issue of trajectory tracking control of a clamping cylinder for injection moulding machine, which is directly driven by speed controlled hydraulic pump in combination with AC servomotor. As a fundamental step prior to tracking controller design, feedback control system is developed by implementing a position control loop parallel with a system pressure control loop. A sliding mode controller combining velocity feedforward scheme is developed for enhancing the tracking performance. Consequently a significant reduction in tracking error is achieved for both position and pressure control applications.
