ME 873 - Design of Feedback Control for Fluid Power Systems2 lecture hours 2 lab hours 3 credits
Course Description
In this course, an electrohydraulic design project is undertaken by the student. The scope of the project should have industrial relevance and employ electrohydraulic technology in a closed-loop control application. Simulation of the proposed system is required, with the project results being presented in written and oral form. (prereq: graduate standing, ME-872)
Course Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this course, the student will be able to:
• design, develop and fabricate an electro-hydraulic/mechanical controller that will provide the Baja Car with the following capabities:
• power is limited to nominally 10 HP
• torque limiting to protect against engine stall
• pump and motor displacement control to provide maximum vehicle velocity based on real time operating conditions
• manual Override
• lower power comsumption during operation and zero power consumption under steady state conditions
Prerequisites by Topic
• System dynamics and control
Course Topics
• Given the open hydrostatic transmission’s proposed circuit, perform an complete design and present both orally and in writing
