ME 4702 - Fluid Power Modeling3 lecture hours 0 lab hours 3 credits
Course Description
This course first reviews the operating principles and performance of standard fluid power components such as pumps, motors, valves, and cylinders, and how they interact to perform as a system. Then it builds on the steady-state fluid power system analysis mindset to provide an introduction to dynamic modeling of hydraulic fluid power systems. It explores the topic of modeling the dynamic interaction of hydraulic components and mechanical loads, as well as the feedback control of such systems. Hydro-mechanical system model development, control, analysis, and simulation using MATLAB/Simulink will be addressed via student projects (soft labs). (prereq: ME 230 ; ME 4701 or equivalent)
Course Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this course, the student will be able to:
- Develop dynamic models of pumps, valves, motors, cylinders and accumulators
- Combine component models to form system models
- Use the developed models to assess hydraulic circuit performance
