The reliable and repeatable experimental ground testing of aircraft actuator is an essential phase before flight testing. It is not an easy task to simulate the alternating aerodynamic forces on actuators reasonably and accurately in a laboratory. In this article, an experimental test bench is designed to simulate the aerodynamic forces by a hydraulic actuator, which replicates the operating conditions that the actuator will encounter in service. In order to improve the force control performance, a feed-forward compensator and a fuzzy proportional–integral–derivative controller are designed. Both simulation and experimental results show that the designed method can improve the control performance.

The tribological effect of cutting fluids in the machining processes to reduce the friction in the cutting zone is still widely unknown. Most test benches and procedures do not represent the contact conditions of machining processes adequately, especially for interrupted contacts. This results in a lack of knowledge of the tribological behavior in machining processes. To close this knowledge gap, a novel experimental test bench to investigate the effects of cutting fluids on the frictional conditions in metal cutting under high-pressure cutting fluid supply was developed and utilized within this work. The results show that there is a difference between the frictional forces in interrupted contact compared to continuous contact. Furthermore, the cutting fluid parameters of supply pressure, volumetric flow rate, and impact point of the cutting fluid jet influence the frictional forces, the intensities of which depend on the workpiece material. In conclusion, the novel test bench allows examining the frictional behavior in interrupted cuts with an unprecedented precision, which contributes to a knowledge-based design of the cutting fluid supply for cutting tools.

In a previous paper [1], the theoretical prediction of a ball bearing motion was studied and different routes to chaos described. The aim of this paper is to study experimentally routes to chaos in a ball bearing and to observe whether theoretical predictions of the phenomena are realistic. An experimental test bench was built and a technique to observe Poincare´ maps is proposed. The experience clearly shows the appearance of instability in the bearing motion, and two different routes to chaos are described as expected in theory. The first route is related to the first resonant frequency of the bearing. It is a sub-harmonic route. The second route, related to the second resonant frequency, is a quasi-periodic route.
