All of the hydraulic spool valves adopt radially grooved spools to avoid hydraulic locking. In this paper, a commercial computational fluid dynamics (CFD) code, FLUENT is used to investigate the accurate Poiseuille flow characteristics inside single groove. The stream lines, velocity and pressure distributions are obtained for various groove widths, depths and shapes. The stream lines are highly affected by groove shape and there occurred large vortexes inside groove beyond a certain ratio of groove width to depth. Especially the U shaped groove restrains the occurrence of vortex. Therefore the numerical method adopted in this paper can be use in optimum designing of multi-grooved hydraulic spool valves.

Almost the on-off type solenoid valve is used to hydraulic system. It has a strong point that concerned about rapid response, electric and hydraulic characteristic at the same time. In this paper we produced the new type spool using the MR fluid different from the others. Also we controlled a cylinder position through PWM method. And using the AMESim software, We compared our new type spool valve with existed one from data of simulation and experiment.

According to operating conditions of each engine, a PCV valve has various flow rates and pressure characteristic. In a developed country, it has been developing by a computational design simulation. But, Korean companies have no ability of technical design for a PCV valve. So, they depend on their experiments and copy the designs of foreign companies when they need to design new PCV valves. These problems cause increase of error rate and take much time. Hence, optimal design for a PCV valve is needed to secure for continuous competition against foreign automobile companies. In this study, we used 4th order Runge-Kutta method for the prediction of spool movements and applied Bernoulli's equation for the determination of flow area. A spool geometry and spool displacement were predicted to be satisfied in comparison with their experiment.

The cylinder horn is designed to increase uniformity of the displacement on the output face through simulation and experiments for the simple cylinder, spool and step horns. The modal analysis is conducted numerically to calculate the vibration mode and stress distribution of the cylinder horn, and the design of experiment (DOE) technique is employed to determine the optimum configuration of the spool horn. Displacement of the cylinder horn was measured using the Laser Doppler Vibrometer (LDV), and experimental results show good agreements with the predicted results. It appears that uniformity higher than 95% can be achieved with the spool horn when the proper dimension of the groove is used.

An in-process method of diagnosing the spool wear of hydraulic servovalves was explored. The diagnostic method discussed in this paper is for force-control hydraulic servo systems. The key principle used is that pressure sensitivity of a servovalve drops as the valve spool wears out so that it is possible to determine the spool condition by monitoring pressure sensitivity. A diagnostic algorithm was developed and evaluated through numerical simulation and experiments. Two major steps of diagnosis are the evaluation of null bias of the servovalve and the approximation of pressure sensitivity, both of which could be successfully done during normal operation of a servo system. The difference between a new servovalve and a worn valve could be clearly detected in-process, and the diagnostic test was found to be repeatable.

In this paper, a numerical analysis is carried out to show the effect of friction farce on the dynamic characteristics of a flow divider valve. The continuity equations and the equation of motion fur spool are numerically solved. The viscous friction force acting on the spool is considered analyzing the Reynolds equation which governs the viscous flow in the clearance gap between the spool and sleeve. Dynamic characteristics are highly affected by the viscous friction farce whose magnitude is relatively small compare with other fluid forces. Therefore present theoretical formulation and numerical scheme can be used generally in designing and performance evaluation of all the hydraulic spool valve.

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.

본 논문의 목적은 스풀 랜드(spool land)와 슬리브(sleeve) 사이의 정특성 방정식으로부터 스풀 밸브의 압력 특성과 유동특성을 구하는 것이다. 이러한 목적을 달성하기 위하여, 스풀 랜드와 슬리브 사이의 유동을 환상간극 유동과 오리피스 유동, 그 중간의 천이 영역으로 나누고, 천이 영역의 유량계수를 길이에 따른 두 영역으로 나눈 선형 일차방정식으로 가정하였다. 스풀 밸브의 압력특성방정식을 구하기 위해 스풀의 중립지점에서부터의 변위에 따른 유동을 $q_a=q_b=0$의 조건으로부터 구하였으며, 스풀 밸브의 유량특성방정식을 구하기 위하여 스풀의 중립지점에서부터의 변위에 따른 유동을 $q_a=q_b$, $p_a=p_b$의 조건으로부터 구하였다. 구해진 수식의 타당성은 수치해석을 통해 실험식 및 기존논문과의 비교를 통해 확인하였다.

The hydraulic system for discharging compressed gas is composed of compressor tank, proportional flow control servo valve, expulsion spool valve and discharging tube. Purpose of this study is to control of expulsion spool valve. First, we analyzed the hydraulic system. The flow control servo valve is modeled as a 2nd order transfer function and friction force of the expulsion spool valve is modeled as nonlinear model with stribeck effect. However, it is difficult to include the flow reaction force in modeling. So, we exchanged from the simplified flow reaction force of the compressed gas affection into the flow analysis code written in FORTRAN code. Our simulation of the oil pressure system for discharging gas used MATLAB/Simulink. So, we realized ＆apos;Level -2 S-Function Fortran＆apos; to cooperate for MATLAB/Simulink and FORTRAN code. PD controller is selected to control in this system. Simulation results show that with given conditions the controllers give a good tracking performance.
