Distribution Of Flow

This paper presents a new method to describe the selection design of directional control valves in the form of matrix. The directional control valves in hybrid are the basic units to implement the distribution of flow in the hydraulic system. Both the design requirements of the hybrid hydraulic system and the basic units are expressed by the adjacency matrices. Therefore, the selection design of directional control valves is the process to decompose the adjacency matrix of the system into a series of sub-matrices according to the decomposition rules. The defined rules of adjacency matrices are obtained according with the composite physical model of several valves. For obtaining easily the selection design of directional control valves, the library of basic units is established. The style of directional control valves is obtained by matching the sub-matrices with the matrices of basic units. Through configuring the others components, a thorough conceptual design process of the hydraulic system is established. Example is given to illustrate the whole design process in detail.

Design Requirements

In this paper, a methodology for the specification stage in conceptual design is presented. The specification stage provides requirements and transforms them into functions of the designed object. It occurs at the highest level of abstraction and it must provide enough information for the synthesis process where functions are transformed into design components that are further synthesized into the designed object. The proposed approach includes the following issues: specification of requirements, specification of functions, incorporation of logic into functional and requirement trees, representation of requirements-functions interaction, and optimization in the functional space. The methodology presented is illustrated with examples. Key words: design requirements, design specifications, conceptual design, design process, artificial intelligence, formal method

Perron Vector

The power method is commonly applied to compute the Perron vector of large adjacency matrices. Blondel et al. [SIAM Rev. 46, 2004] investigated its performance when the adjacency matrix has multiple eigenvalues of the same magnitude. It is well known that the Lanczos method typically requires fewer iterations than the power method to determine eigenvectors with the desired accuracy. However, the Lanczos method demands more computer storage, which may make it impractical to apply to very large problems. The present paper adapts the analysis by Blondel et al. to the Lanczos and restarted Lanczos methods. The restarted methods are found to yield fast convergence and to require less computer storage than the Lanczos method. Computed examples illustrate the theory presented. Applications of the Arnoldi method are also discussed.

Valve Actuation

Increasing performance in modern hydraulics is achieved by a close investigation of possible enhancements of its components. Prior research has pointed out that electromechanical actuators can form suitable alternatives to hydraulically piloted control systems. Since the requirements at these actuation systems depend on the operating conditions of the system, each actuator can be optimized to the respective hydraulic system. Considering that many different conceptual designs are suitable, the phase of conceptual design plays a decisive role during the design process. Therefore, this paper focuses on the process of developing new conceptual designs for electromechanical valve actuation systems using the method of function structures. Aiming to identify special design features, which need to be considered during the design process of electromechanical actuation systems, an exemplary actuator was designed based on the derived function structure. To highlight the potential of function structures for the development of new electromechanical valve actuation systems, two principal concepts, which allow the reduction of the necessary forces, have been developed by extending the function structure. These concepts have been experimentally investigated to identify their advantages and disadvantages.
