Pressure control of hydraulic pump using SRM with pressure predictor and direct torque control method is presented in this paper. Nowadays, high efficiency and high performance motor drive is much interested in hydraulic pump system. But the hydraulic pump system has an inherent defect that its dynamic behavior causes by interaction between the sensor and hydraulic load. It will make low performance of whole system, even unstable and oscillatory. Proposed system integrates pressure predictor and direct instantaneous torque control (DITC). The pressure predictor includes Smith predictor, which is easy to improve unstable or long oscillation in traditional negative feedback control and popular PID control architectures. And DITC method can reduce inherent torque ripple of SRM, and develop smooth torque to load, which can increase stability and improve the torque response of SR drive. So high dynamic performance and stabilization can achieved proposed hydraulic system. At last, the proposed hydraulic system is verified by simulation and experimental results.

The swirling flow developing in Francis turbine draft tube under part load operation leads to pressure fluctuations usually in the range of 0.2 to 0.4 times the runner rotational frequency resulting from the so-called vortex breakdown. For low cavitation number, the flow features a cavitation vortex rope animated with precession motion. Under given conditions, these pressure fluctuations may lead to undesirable pressure fluctuations in the entire hydraulic system and also produce active power oscillations. For the upper part load range, between 0.7 and 0.85 times the best efficiency discharge, pressure fluctuations may appear in a higher frequency range of 2 to 4 times the runner rotational speed and feature modulations with vortex rope precession. It has been pointed out that for this particular operating point, the vortex rope features elliptical cross section and is animated of a self-rotation. This paper presents an experimental investigation focusing on this peculiar phenomenon, defined as the upper part load vortex rope. The experimental investigation is carried out on a high specific speed Francis turbine scale model installed on a test rig of the EPFL Laboratory for Hydraulic Machines. The selected operating point corresponds to a discharge of 0.83 times the best efficiency discharge. Observations of the cavitation vortex carried out with high speed camera have been recorded and synchronized with pressure fluctuations measurements at the draft tube cone. First, the vortex rope self rotation frequency is evidenced and the related frequency is deduced. Then, the influence of the sigma cavitation number on vortex rope shape and pressure fluctuations is presented. The waterfall diagram of the pressure fluctuations evidences resonance effects with the hydraulic circuit. The influence of outlet bubble cavitation and air injection is also investigated for low cavitation number. The time evolution of the vortex rope volume is compared with pressure fluctuations time evolution using image processing. Finally, the influence of the Froude number on the vortex rope shape and the associated pressure fluctuations is analyzed by varying the rotational speed.

A clutch hydraulic system for automotive manual transmissions transfers hydraulic pressure generated by driver's pedal manipulation to the clutch mechanism. The foot effort when the clutch pedal is pushed is different than that when the clutch is returned. The effort or load difference, called hysteresis, is caused by the friction produced between rubber seal and inner wall inside the hydraulic cylinder. This clutch pedal travel foot effort hysteresis is essential for a clutch hydraulic system design and analysis. The dynamic model for a clutch hydraulic system is developed and a simulation analysis is performed to estimate the fiction coefficient as a function of the cylinder pressure. The simulation result is then compared to the measurements obtained from a clutch hydraulic system tester to ensure the reliability of the dynamic model and the coefficients estimated. Also the estimated friction coefficients at various pressure values are compared to those reported by an independent study.

The clutch is a subcomponent of the transmission that is designed to engage and disengage power flow between the engine and the transmission. Recently, the engine power of automobile has been continuously increased because of customer's demand for the bigger one. As the engine power is increased, the vibration transmitted to the hydraulic clutch operating system has been increased. Therefore the demand for the reduction of clutch pedal vibration during the operation of the clutch system has been increased. This paper describes the pressure pulsation reduction characteristics of the damper cylinder which is applied to the hydraulic clutch operating system. And the purpose of this study is to confirm the availability of a simulation model and investigating the test results of hydraulic clutch operating system. The test results are compared with the simulation results. Therefore it may be concluded that the simulation model and test results will be very useful f3r the design of hydraulic clutch damper cylinder.

An ultra high- pressure system generally consists of a hydraulic power unit, an oil supply unit, an electrical power supply device, and an electrical control device. The hydraulic power unit supplies the hydraulic power to the intensifier to create generate ultra high pressure. The intensifier amplifies increases the pressure using the oil supplied from by the hydraulic power unit. The electrical supply devices and control devices maintain are provided for the electric motors, valves, and sensors. In this study, instead of a flow-control device, a pressure-control type device was mounted on a manifold block in the hydraulic power unit instead of the flow-control type. A servo valve was fitted in the intensifier, and the performance characteristics of the intensifier varied according to the variations of in the pressure cycle and with the temperature of the operating oil in the hydraulic power unit.

Dynamic pressure is one of the major sources on noise emission in hydraulic axial piston pump. This paper reports an experimental study of dynamic pressure characteristics in the cylinder port of hydraulic axial piston pump. We investigated dynamic pressure with not only the effect of delivery pressure, rotational speed and temperature but also V-notches at the ends of the kidney ports in the valve plate. We experimented three valve plates with three type V-notches at the ends of the kidney ports, because V-notches of the valve plate is known of noise reduction. Finally, we hope this paper help to design of the valve plate in hydraulic axial piston pump.

This paper presents a practical method of pressure control for a hydraulic oil-pump system using an SR (Switched Reluctance) drive. For a 6Mpa grade hydraulic oil-pump, a 2.6kW SR drive is developed. In order to get high performance pressure dynamics in actual applications, a data based PID control scheme is proposed. The look-up table from a pre-measured data base produces an approximate current reference based on motor speed and oil-pressure. A PID controller can compensate for the pressure error. With the combination of the two references, the proposed control scheme can achieve fast dynamics and stable operation. Furthermore, a suitable current controller considering the nonlinear characteristics of an SRM (Switched Reluctance Motor) and practical test methods for data measuring are presented. The proposed control scheme is verified by experimental tests.

Characteristics of the high frequency and pulsatile flow investigated experimentally to understand the flow phenomena in the hydraulic system. In the study, I axis fatigue tester which are widely used for automobile filed are selected. 4 Pressure transducer, amplifier, A/D convertor are used to analyse and to obtain the pulsatle pressure waveform with high frequencies in hydraulic system. Matlab are used. to analyse the characteristics of frequency. Variation of pump input pressure and actuator acceleration frequency, pressure wave are measured with or without accumulators. For with accumulator, frequency amplitude of pressure are very lower than those of without accumulator due to absorbing function of accumulator. As the actuator acceleration frequency increased, effect of accumulator are very important to decrease the pulsatile pressure waveform with high frequencies.

Water pressure test operation is used before the grouting to determine the rate of penetrability, the necessity and estimations related to grouting, by the penetration of water into the borehole. One of the parameters which have the highest effect is pressure of water penetration since the application of excessive pressure causes the hydraulic fracture to occur in the rock mass, and on the other hand, it must not be so small that prevents from seeing mechanical weaknesses and the rate of permeability. Mathematical modeling is used for the first time in this study to determine the optimum pressure. Thus, the joints that exist in the rock mass are simulated using cylindrical shell model. The joint surroundings are also modeled through Pasternak environment. To obtain equations governing the joints and the surroundings, energy method is used accompanied by Hamilton principle and an analytical solution method is used to obtain the maximum pressure. In order to validate the modeling, the pressure values obtained by the model were used in the sites of Seymareh and Aghbolagh dams and the relative error rates were measured considering the differences between calculated and actual pressures. Modeling in the sections of Seymareh dam showed 4.75, 3.93, 4.8 percent error rates and in the sections of Aghbolagh dam it rendered the values of 22.43, 5.22, 2.6 percent. The results indicate that this modeling can be used to estimate the amount of pressure for hydraulic fracture in water pressure test, to predict it and to prevent it.
