ME 472 - Modeling and Simulation in the Design of Hydraulic Components2 lecture hours 2 lab hours 3 credits
Course Description
This course focuses on the continued development of analytical methods as applied to hydraulic components and circuits. Steady-state and limited transient performance of pumps, valves, accumulators, motors, and cylinders as components and systems are addressed (i.e. functional, steady state and dynamic). Linear and non-linear models for pumps, motors, and valves are also developed and applied to systems analysis. Laboratory sessions are included to relate model predictions to actual component performance. Use of Matlab/Simulink for model development is stressed. (prereq: ME 471 )
Course Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this course, the student will be able to:
- Linearize equations to develop linear models
- Develop steady state models of pumps and valves
- Develop dynamic models of the pumps and valves
- Combine component models to form system models
- Solve the developed models to determine pressure and flow responses in hydraulic circuits
