A Hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) simulation based method for designing and testing of fluid power driven machines has recently been studied in [1], [2] and [3]. In those papers the method has successfully been tested for driving physical prototypes with simulation models of various hydraulic circuits. Although the results of the tested method have appeared to be reasonable the critical boundary conditions of the system has not yet been studied. In this paper a simple hydraulic system is modeled and used for driving the simulator. The simulated system is then built from real components and measured. The measured and simulated results are compared. One of the main goals of this paper is to find answer to the following question: What is the maximum bandwidth that can be put out from the simulator with sufficient accuracy. The answer demonstrates the applicability of the developed HIL-simulator. Also different sizes of time steps are studied.

In this paper the results of the German state-funded research project “Fluidtronic”, that deals with a virtual development environment for fluid technical mechatronic systems, is presented. Firstly the conventional development process of a fluid technical mechatronic system is introduced. The conventional development process typically takes a long time because design failures are often only identified during the plant commissioning. Secondly the new virtual development environment, which is worked out in the “Fluidtronic” project is presented. It shows how both the system performance can be optimized and also how the commissioning time can be reduced extensively, if the interactions between mechanical, electrical and fluid power parts are tested at an early point of time in the development process. Optimizations in the development process are realized with the help of new and improved simulation models as well as soft- and hardware in the loop simulations.

Spin-stabilized projectiles with course correction fuzes actuated by fixed canards have the problem of great coupling in both the normal and lateral directions due to intensive gyroscopic effects, which leads to inconsistent maneuverability in different directions. Due to the limited correction ability, which results from the miniaturization of the fuze and fixed canards, a target-aiming method is proposed here to make full use of the correction ability of the canards. From analysis on how the canards work and building an angular motion model, the correction characteristics of a spinning projectile with fixed canards have been studied, and the inconsistent maneuverability in different directions of the projectile has been explained and used to help establish the proposed target aiming method. Hardware-in-the-loop simulation based on a 155 mm howitzer shows that when the correction ability of fixed canards is unchanged, the proposed method can improve the striking accuracy by more than 20% when compared to the traditional method.

In order to improve design performance, shorten development cycles, reduce production cost, we design and research the forklift hydraulic system, developed forklift hydraulic system diagram. Forklift virtual prototype’s 3-D solid modeling is designed by Pro / E three-dimensional software, and imported into the ADAMS environment. Add constraints and drivers exert the control function separately to the tilting cylinder and lifting cylinder, carry on the kinematics simulation. Through the analysis to the compound motion actuation control functional arrangement、the compound motion speed graph、the gate’s tilt angle graph、the tilting cylinder stress graph and the lifting cylinder stress graph, he simulation result indicated: each cylinder design is reasonable, the movement without interference,the reasonable work scope satisfied to the work size request

А method based on comparing oscilloscope patterns of operational parameters with reference curves is one of the most promising methods of diagnosing hydraulic systems among the existing ones. Its implementation does not allow accurate localization of the faulty unit in the system and quantitative estimation of the magnitude of the fault. To eliminate these shortcomings, it is advisable to use simulation models of hydraulic units, taking into account typical faults of a hydraulic system. Their use makes it possible to evaluate the effect of a particular malfunction on the change of dynamic parameters at the stage of mathematical modeling. As a result of the analysis of statistical information and literary sources, characteristic faults of hydraulic systems are identified. Their causes and the impact on the operation of hydraulic units are examined. Simulation models of units taking into account typical faults are described in the Matlab / Simscape software package. They are implemented using a typical hydraulic system as an example. Dynamic characteristics of a hydraulic system in a healthy condition and those of a system with one of the characteristic faults are compared.

Process monitoring and modelling can contribute to fostering the industrial relevance of additive manufacturing. Process related temperature gradients and thermal inhomogeneities cause residual stresses, and distortions and influence the microstructure. Variations in wall thickness can cause heat accumulations. These occur predominantly in filigree part areas and can be detected by utilizing off-axis thermographic monitoring during the manufacturing process. In addition, numerical simulation models on the scale of whole parts can enable an analysis of temperature fields upstream to the build process. In a microscale domain, modelling of several exposed single hatches allows temperature investigations at a high spatial and temporal resolution. Within this paper, FEM-based micro- and macroscale modelling approaches as well as an experimental setup for thermographic monitoring are introduced. By discussing and comparing experimental data with simulation results in terms of temperature distributions both the potential of numerical approaches and the complexity of determining suitable computation time efficient process models are demonstrated. This paper contributes to the vision of adjusting the transient temperature field during manufacturing in order to improve the resulting part's quality by simulation based process design upstream to the build process and the inline process monitoring.

This chapter shows that—and how—simulation models are epistemically opaque. Nevertheless, it is argued, simulation models can provide a means to control dynamics. Researchers can employ a series of iterated (experimental) runs of the model and can learn to orient themselves within the model—even if the dynamics of the simulation remain (at least partly) opaque. Admittedly, such an acquaintance with the model falls short of the high epistemic standards usually ascribed to mathematical models. This lower standard is still sufficient, however, when the aim is controlled intervention in technological contexts. On the other hand, opacity has to be accepted if the option for control is to remain in any way open. This chapter closes by discussing whether epistemic opacity restricts simulation-based science to a pragmatic—“weak”—version of scientific understanding.
