Prel. scheduled hours: 56
Rec. self-study hours: 104

  Area of Education: Technology

Main field of studies: Mechanical Engineering

  Advancement level (G1, G2, A): A

Aim:
The course is intended to give a broad knowledge in hydraulic system design. Especially, hydro-mechanical transmissions and hydraulic valve controlled systems are treated. After the course, student should be able to
  • model and implement dynamic analyses of hydraulic systems.
  • apply calculation basis for component selection and system design.
  • analyse and discuss the fluid power systems for performance, power consumption and controllability.
  • implement laboratory experiments and present the results in writing.
  • show knowledge about component functions and component characteristics in the field of fluid power.
  • perform measurements on fluid power systems.
  • take account of environmental aspects and ergonomically appropriate solutions.
  • incorporate research literature in relevant journals.


Prerequisites: (valid for students admitted to programmes within which the course is offered)
Fluid Power Systems, Automatic Control

Note: Admission requirements for non-programme students usually also include admission requirements for the programme and threshhold requirements for progression within the programme, or corresponding.

Supplementary courses:
Mechanical Engineering Systems-Project Course.

Organisation:
The teaching consists of lectures, lessons and laboratory exercises

Course contents:
  • Hydraulic machines: Design of different types of pumps and motors. Analyses of losses and efficiency models. Control actuators for variable displacement machines. Dynamic properties of hydraulic machines.
  • Transmission systems: Mobile and industrial applications. Completely hydraulic and hydro mechanical divided types of transmissions - principles of automatic control and dynamic characteristics. Servo systems for control of shaft speed and torque. Simulation of transmission drive systems.
  • Valve controlled systems: Steady state and dynamic properties of pressure and flow control valves. Mobile and industrial applications. Open and closed systems. Load sensing hydraulic systems.
