Advanced Design and Control of Fluid Power Circuits

3 credits · Graduate

An introduction to the design and control of fluid power circuits. The operation and design of basic components are considered. A methodology to the design of industrial circuits is introduced and applied to industrial applications. Design criteria for open loop applications are introduced. This class shares some lectures with ME490, with an additional material and a design project to be completed by the student. Additional topics will include dynamic modelling of hydraulic systems and control of hydraulic systems.
