The bath engineering design centre: computer-based techniques to imporven the design of fluid power systems

摘要

This paper describes the stages involved in designing fluid power s ystems and how these relate to the research being undertaken at the Enginering Deign Centre in Fluid Power Systems, University of Bath. An overview of the research is given and the status of the current project areas is presented relating to: circuit configuration design; computer simulation and performance evaluation; design for low vibration and noise; design methodology for fluid power systems; a multimedia media design aid; and life cycle assessment.
