Development of computer-based techniques for fluid power systems design

摘要

The Engineering Design Centre (EDC) in fluid power systems, was established in the School of Mechanical Engineering, University of Bath in 1992 to develop computer-based techniques for fluid power systems design. This paper gives an overview of the research being undertaken at the EDC relating to: system design and performance evaluation using computer simulation; the development of a database for hydraulic components; software tools to minimize noise and vibration; circuit configuration design; and optimization techniques for component selection and sizing.
