Fluid Power Systems: Operation, Circuit Design and Applications

4 cr · Undergraduate

(Lab required) Design, analysis and evaluation of fluid power systems. Real-world applications may be covered, including flight control actuators, active suspension, motion simulators, earthmoving machines, underwater manipulators, and rehabilitation devices. Students will develop an understanding of fluid power system components such as pumps, motors, valves and cylinders, as well as the ability to select and integrate these components to create the design of complete fluid power systems. May not be held with MECH 4310 when titled "Fluid Power Systems: Operation, Circuit Design and Application."
