This paper deals with the issue of simple adaptive position control for a pump-controlled cylinder system. A fixed displacement pump is utilized instead of servo valve and its speed is controlled by AC motor. The whole control system is composed of a pair of interconnected subsystems, that is, a feedback control system and a feedforward control system. From experiments it is shown that position control using simple adaptive control can accomplish significant reduction in position tracking error comparing to a conventional PID control.

It is hard and complex to analytically derive a volumetric displacement formula of a gerotor hydraulic motor because geometric shape of its rotors is complicate. An analytical method about the volumetric displacement is proposed in this work, which is relatively easy and based upon two physical concepts. The first one is energy conservation between hydraulic input energy of the motor and mechanical output energy. The second concept is torque equilibrium with respect to inner and outer rotors. The proposed formula about the volumetric displacement is verified by comparing an analytical displacement and a numerical displacement for an example specification of the motor. The numerical displacement is calculated through a kind of CAD technology. The analytical formula can be utilized in analysis and design of hydraulic gerotor motors.

The performance improvement of a small-size integrated-type fully hydraulic breaker is studied in this paper. Mathematical modeling of the breaker is established and verified by experiment. Through sensitivity analysis using AMESim, the key design parameters are selected and nearly optimized to maximize the impact energy as well as to improve the dynamic characteristics such as the piston upper chamber pressure, piston and valve displacements. As a result, the impact energy, blows per minute(bpm) and output power are increased by 52.9%, 1%, and 55.6%, respectively compared with the current design. The dynamic characteristics of the piston upper chamber pressure, piston and valve displacements are also improved by the design change.

The optimal design of a large-size fully hydraulic breaker is studied in this paper. Mathematical modeling of the breaker is established and verified by experiments. Through sensitivity analysis, the key design parameters of the breaker are selected, which mostly affect the performance of the breaker. Taguchi method is used to optimize the key design parameters in order to maximize the output power through simulation using AMESim. As a result, the impact energy is increased by 18.9% and the output power is increased by 12.4% compared with the current design. The pressure pulsation in the supply line is also reduced by the optimization.

Hydraulic hoses are used as pipelines for transferring power from hydraulic systems in various machineries such as construction equipments, automobiles, and aircraft. Hydraulic hoses protect the system from vibration or impacts, and they are being used to transfer energy in all segments of the industry. In order to protect the system from various external environmental conditions, hydraulic hose assemblies must be able to withstand a wide range of temperatures and pressures, as well as variations in other factors. In previous studies, an acceleration model for the hydraulic hose assembly was developed by taking into account only one of the acceleration factors (temperature or pressure). Therefore, the objective of this study is to develop a comprehensive acceleration model that takes both temperature and pressure into consideration.

Due to the friction characteristics of cylinders and the rail of a passenger car, in the elevator actuated with hydraulic systems, there exist dead zones, which can not be controlled by a PID controller. In this paper, the friction characteristics of a cylinder is examined, which may cause the abrupt increase of the acceleration in the zero-costing speed region. To overcome the drawbacks of a PID controlled hydraulic elevator system, a zooming fuzzy logic controller is designed and finally an improved hybrid fuzzy controller is proposed. The effectiveness of the proposed control scheme are shown by simulation and experimental results, which the proposed fuzzy hybrid control method yields good control performance not only in the zero-crossing speed region but also in the overall control region including steady-state region.

바다를 가로막는 방벽이나 방조제의 배수갑문 또는 조력발전소의 수문과 같이 인공 해양구조물을 통하여 흐르는 고속 해류를 이용하여 발전하는 해류발전 방식에 있어서, 고속 해류에 적합한 수차터빈과 발전기의 특성을 알아보았다. 조석간만의 차가 큰 지역에 설치되는 인공 해양구조물을 지나는 해류는 인공 해양구조물 전후에 발생하는 해수의 위치에너지 차이가 운동에너지로 바뀌면서 조석간만의 자연현상에 의해 발생되는 조류의 속도보다 훨씬 더 빠르게 흐른다. 이론적으로 우리나라의 서해안의 조석간만의 범위 3~8m로부터 7.5~12m/s 정도의 고속 해류가 가능하다. 이러한 경우에 적합한 해류발전기는 수차터빈 날개지름의 크기가 5m에서부터 12m 이하이면서, 증속기어박스와 발전기, 유압시스템 및 냉각시스템 그리고 전력변환장치를 포함하는 발전시설들을 해수면 위에 설치하는 것이 바람직하다.

Nowadays with the high fuel prices, the demands for energy saving and green emission of construction machinery have highly been increased without sacrifice of working performance, safety and reliability. The aim of this paper is to propose a new energy saving hybrid excavator system using an electro-hydraulic actuator driven by an electric motor/generator for the regeneration of potential energy. A 5 ton class excavator is analyzed, developed with the boom for the evaluation of the designed system. The hardware implementation is also presented in this paper. A control strategy for the hybrid excavator is proposed to operate the machine with a highest efficiency. The energy saving ability of the proposed excavator is clearly verified through simulation and experimental results in comparison with a conventional hydraulic excavator.

A structural safety evaluation was conducted for the stabbing system for the pre-piling jacket substructure currently being developed in South Korea, considering pile construction errors due to its lateral movement that may occur during construction in the ocean. Based on (1) the maximum stress generated by the stabbing system, (2) the maximum rotational displacement of the guide cone, and (3) the maximum stress generated by the horizontal hydraulic pressure cylinder, the structural safety of the stabbing system was examined under the initial loading condition and three possible load combinations during its construction. In order to evaluate the structural safety of the stabbing system, a concept of stress safety factor (= Yield stress / Max. Von-Mises stress) was used. It was found that the stabbing system considered in this study has a sufficient margin of safety.
