Reduction of carbon footprint using Additive Inspired design in Tractor Hydraulic systems2024-26-00701/16/2024
Tractor usage is growing due to introduction of wide range of implements and applications. Tractor plays a major role in Agri and Construction applications. Due to the environmental factors, restrictions are set on the tractor emissions. This brings new challenge in the tactor industry to reduce the carbon footprint. By reducing the weight of the tractor, Co2 emissions can be reduced. Many of the components in the Hydraulic systems are made of metal casting. Conventional casting process involves preparation of die & mold, material removal at unwanted regions, machining in the final stage to get the desired final product. Contrary to conventional manufacturing process, Additive Manufacturing process is a transformative approach to industrial production that enables creation of lighter and stronger parts. The process involves creation of 3D component by adding material layer by layer. The advantage of this method is the minimum wastage of raw material and possibility of integrated

Accurate Pressure Control Based on Driver Braking Intention Identification for a Novel Integrated Braking System2021-01-01004/6/2021
With the development of intelligent and electric vehicles, higher requirements are put forward for the active braking and regenerative braking ability of the braking system. The traditional braking system equipped with vacuum booster has difficulty meeting the demand, therefore it has gradually been replaced by the integrated braking system. In this paper, a novel Integrated Braking System (IBS) is presented, which mainly contains a pedal feel simulator, a permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM), a series of transmission mechanisms, and the hydraulic control unit. As an integrative system of mechanics-electronics-hydraulics, the IBS has complex nonlinear characteristics, which challenge the accurate pressure control. Furthermore, it is a completely decoupled braking system, the pedal force doesn’t participate in pressure-building, so it is necessary to precisely identify driver’s braking intention. To improve the control accuracy of the system, this paper proposed a novel pressure

Coordination Control Strategy for Mode Switching of a Parallel Hybrid Electric System Based on Continuously Variable Transmission02-13-02-00108/11/2020
This study aims to solve the problem of impact in a parallel hybrid electric system based on the continuously variable transmission (CVT) during switching from pure electric mode to engine-driven, power-generating mode. Taking into account the torque response characteristics of the engine and motor and the dynamic characteristics of the wet clutch hydraulic control system, the mode switching process is divided into six stages, namely, pure electric mode, wet-clutch free travel, engine start-up, engine speed synchronization, clutch combination, and engine intervention drive. A coordination control strategy is developed based on the model predictive control algorithm to ensure smooth mode switching. The effectiveness of the control algorithm is verified using Matlab/Simulink and the AMESim co-simulation platform. Results show that with the mode switching coordination control strategy, the components of the system work harmoniously. The maximum impact is reduced by 52.0% at the speed

Design of Valve Body Integrated Direct Acting Control Solenoids2020-01-09654/14/2020
This paper studies the latest trend in transmission hydraulic controls development which involves the integration of the solenoid hydraulic element into the hydraulic valve body and attaching the magnetic part of the solenoid to the assembled valve body. This practice has been adopted by multiple automotive OEMs. Integrated direct acting control solenoids are key enablers for OEMs to meet more stringent fuel economy requirements in competitive environments. In the meantime, there are unique challenges in both integration and packaging due to the limited useful stroke of the armature and the fact that the solenoid armature can only act upon the spool valve in an outward motion. Both normally low and normally high functionality can be achieved with direct acting solenoids, but there are more challenges for the normally high functionality, especially spool valve porting and high hysteresis. This paper uses analytical methods to link the challenges to physical interactions between the

Application of Empirical Asperity Contact Model to High Fidelity Wet Clutch System Simulations2019-01-13014/2/2019
Wet clutches are complex hydrodynamic devices used in both conventional and electrified drivetrain systems. They couple or de-couple powertrain components for applications such as automatic shifting, engine disconnect and torque vectoring. Clutch engagement behaviors vary greatly, depending on design parameters and operating conditions. Because of their direct impact on vehicle drivability and fuel economy, a predictive CAE model is desired for enabling analytical design verification processes. During engagement, a wet clutch transmits torque through viscous shear and asperity contact. A conventional Coulomb’s model, which is routinely utilized in shift simulations, is inadequate to capture non-linear hydrodynamic effects for higher fidelity analysis. Extensive research has been conducted over the years to derive hydrodynamic torque transfer models based on 1D squeeze film or 3D CFD. They are typically coupled with an elastic asperity contact model for mechanical torque transfer

Coordinated Control under Transitional Conditions in Hybrid Braking of Electric Vehicle2018-01-186910/5/2018
In the hybrid brake system of electric vehicle, due to the limitation of the motor braking force when the motor is at high speed and the failure of the regenerative braking force when the motor is at low speed, there are three transitional conditions in hybrid braking: the hydraulic brake system intervenes the braking, the hydraulic brake system withdraws the braking and the regenerative braking force withdraws the braking. Due to the response speed of the hydraulic system is slower than that of the motor, there is a large braking impact (the derivative of braking deceleration) in the transitional conditions of hybrid braking, which deteriorates the smoothness and comfort in braking. Aiming at the impact caused by the poor cooperation between the hydraulic braking force and the motor braking force, a coordinated strategy of double closed-loop feedback and motor force correction is proposed in this paper. The double closed-loop feedback strategy relies on the motor force to compensate

Open-Loop Characteristics Analysis and Control of High Speed On-Off Valve2018-01-186810/5/2018
In the process of ABS control, the Anti-lock braking system (ABS) of the vehicle adjusts the wheel cylinder brake pressure through the hydraulic actuator so as to control the movement of the wheel. The high-speed on-off valve (HSV) is the key components of the Anti-lock braking system. HSV affects the performance of the hydraulic actuator and the valve response characteristics affects the Anti-lock braking system pressure response as well as braking effect. In this paper, the electromagnetic field theory and flow field theory of HSV are analyzed, and simulation analysis of electromagnetic field characteristics of HSV is done by ANSYS. Combined with the ANSYS analysis results, a precise physical model of HSV is constructed in AMESim. Meanwhile, the valve response characteristics are analyzed. Moreover, the influence of different wheel cylinder diameter and PWM carrier frequency on hydraulic braking force characteristics are analyzed. The open-loop control methods of hydraulic braking

Sliding Mode Control of Hydraulic Excavator for Automated Grading Operation02-11-02-00106/7/2018
Although ground grading is one of the most common tasks that hydraulic excavators perform in typical work sites, proper grading is not easy for less-skilled operators as it requires coordinated manipulation of multiple hydraulic cylinders. In order to help alleviate this difficulty, automated grading systems are considered as an effective alternative to manual operations of hydraulic excavators. In this article, a sliding mode controller design is presented for automated grading control of a hydraulic excavator. First, an excavator manipulator model is developed in Simulink by using SimMechanics and SimHydraulics toolboxes. Then, a sliding mode controller is designed to control the manipulator to trace a predefined trajectory for a grading task. For a comparison study, a PI controller is used to control the manipulator to perform a grading task following the same desired trajectory and the performance is compared with those obtained by the sliding mode controller.

A Simulation Model for a Tandem External Gear Pump for Automotive Transmission2018-01-04034/3/2018
This paper describes a simulation approach for the modeling of tandem external gear pumps. A tandem gear pump is the combination of two pumps with a common drive shaft. Such design architecture finds application in certain automotive transmission systems. The model presented in this work is applicable for pumps with both helical and spur gears. The simulation model is built on the HYGESim (HYdraulic GEars machines Simulator) previously developed by the authors for external spur gear units. In this work, the model formulation is properly extended to the capabilities of simulating helical gears. Starting directly from the CAD drawings of the unit, the fluid-dynamic model solves the internal instantaneous tooth space volume pressures and the internal flows following a lumped parameter approach. The simulation tool considers also the radial micro-motion of the gears, which influences the internal leakages and the features of the meshing process. The paper details how these aspects are

Electric versus Hydraulic Flight Controls: Assessing Power Consumption and Waste Heat Using Stochastic System Methods2017-01-20369/19/2017
Of all aircraft power and thermal loads, flight controls can be the most challenging to quantify because they are highly variable. Unlike constant or impulsive loads, actuator power demands more closely resemble random processes. Some inherent nonlinearities complicate this even further. Actuation power consumption and waste heat generation are both sensitive to input history. But control activity varies considerably with mission segment, turbulence and vehicle state. Flight control is a major power consumer at times, so quantifying power demand and waste heat is important for sizing power and thermal management system components. However, many designers sidestep the stochastic aspects of the problem initially, leading to overly conservative system sizing. The overdesign becomes apparent only after detailed flight simulations become available. These considerations are particularly relevant in trade studies comparing electric versus hydraulic actuation. These two actuation types use

Hydraulic Pressure Control and Parameter Optimization of Integrated Electro-Hydraulic Brake System2017-01-25169/17/2017
A general principle scheme of IEHB (Integrated Electro-Hydraulic Brake system) is proposed, and the working principle of the system is simply introduced in this paper. Considering the structure characteristics of the hydraulic control unit of the system, a kind of time-sharing control strategy is adopted to realize the purpose of independent and precise hydraulic pressure regulation of each wheel brake cylinder in various brake conditions of a vehicle. Because of the strong nonlinear and time varying characteristics of the dynamic brake pressure regulation processes of IEHB, its comprehensive brake performance is mainly affected by temperature, humidity, load change, the structure and control parameters of IEHB, and so on. Under certain temperature, humidity and load conditions, whether the matching of the structure and the control parameters of IEHB is appropriate or not, the brake performance of a vehicle would be affected directly and severely, and then the safe driving of a vehicle

A vehicle dynamics stability control system based on integrated-electro-hydraulic brake (I-EHB) system with hierarchical control architecture and nonlinear control method is designed to improve the vehicle dynamics stability under extreme conditions in this paper. The I-EHB system is a novel brake-by-wire system, and is suitable to the development demands of intelligent vehicle technology and new energy vehicle technology. Four inlet valves and four outlet valves are added to the layout of a conventional four-channel hydraulic control unit. A permanent-magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) provides a stabilized high-pressure source in the master cylinder, and the four-channel hydraulic control unit ensures that the pressures in each wheel cylinder can be modulated separately at a high precision. Besides, the functions of Anti-lock Braking System, Traction Control System and Regenerative Braking System, Autonomous Emergency Braking can be integrated in this brake-by-wire system. A sliding

Anti-Lock Braking System Control Design on An Integrated-Electro-Hydraulic Braking System2017-01-15783/28/2017
Two control strategies, safety preferred control and master cylinder oscillation control, were designed for anti-lock braking on a novel integrated-electro-hydraulic braking system (I-EHB) which has only four solenoid valves in its innovative hydraulic control unit (HCU) instead of eight in a traditional one. The main idea of safety preferred control is to reduce the hydraulic pressure provided by the motor in the master cylinder whenever a wheel tends to be locking even if some of the other wheels may need more braking torque. In contrast, regarding master cylinder oscillation control, a sinusoidal signal is given to the motor making the hydraulic pressure in the master cylinder oscillate in certain frequency and amplitude. Hardware-in-the-loop simulations were conducted to verify the effectiveness of the two control strategies mentioned above and to evaluate them. The simulation platform consists of the I-EHB hardware and software including CarSim and MATLAB/Simulink as well as

The e-LSD alternative to AWD16AUTP05_055/1/2016
Eaton's new-for-2018 electronic limited-slip differential offers mass, fuel-consumption, and packaging benefits over typical AWD while enhancing vehicle dynamic control. Is engineering a new vehicle for all-wheel drive worth the cost, weight, and fuel consumption penalties for perhaps 10% of volume on some platforms? For mass-market C- and D-segment sedans, forcing the packaging penalty of a propshaft tunnel on 100% of production in order to accommodate a small portion of AWD models may not be a worthwhile tradeoff given the pressures of meeting 2025 CAFE and European CO2 laws. Some vehicle planners and chief engineers who have weighed these options say a high-performing electronic limited-slip differential (e-LSD) coupled with either front- or rear-wheel drive can satisfy most of the AWD performance expectation.

Development of New Electronically Controlled Hydraulic Unit for Various Applications2016-01-16604/5/2016
The use of hybrid, fuel cell electric, and pure electric vehicles is on the increase as part of measures to help reduce exhaust gas emissions and to help resolve energy issues. These vehicles use regenerative-friction brake coordination technology, which requires a braking system that can accurately control the hydraulic brakes in response to small changes in regenerative braking. At the same time, the spread of collision avoidance support technology is progressing at a rapid pace along with a growing awareness of vehicle safety. This technology requires braking systems that can apply a large braking force in a short time. Although brake systems that have both accurate hydraulic control and large braking force have been developed in the past, simplification is required to promote further adoption.

Electrohydraulic advances keep coming as distributed electronics flex their muscle. Hydraulic technologies are evolving rapidly as clever engineers figure out how to alter spools and valves. These mechanical changes pale in comparison to the advances that transpire as design teams leverage rising computing power and falling prices for electronics. Electrohydraulic systems are employing more sensors and utilizing controls that are networked to a growing number of components. That's making it possible for design teams to continue to improve performance while adding more sophisticated features and functions. These trends show no signs of slowing down.

Study on the Algorithm of Active Pressurization Control of Regenerative Braking System in Pure Electric Vehicle2015-01-27089/27/2015
During the vehicle braking, the Regenerative braking system (RBS) transforms the kinetic energy into electric power, storing it in the power sources. To secure the baking process, it is required to use hydraulic braking pressure to coordinately compensate the regenerative braking pressure. The traditional hydraulic pressure control algorithm which is used in regenerative braking system coordinated control has obvious laddering effect in braking. Unit control cycle pressure deviations seriously affect the comfort and the braking feeling on the vehicle. In order to ensure the accurate implementation of the brake pressure on the wheel cylinder, according to the hardware configuration of regenerative braking system, this paper analyzes the active pressurization state of RBS during braking, acquires the overflow characteristics of the switch valve in ESP hydraulic control unit by designing of high frequency characteristic test experiment, the control range of valve core displacement in the

Linear Control Performance Improvement of High Speed On-Off Valve Controlled by PWM2015-01-26729/27/2015
High speed on-off valve is applied widely in vehicle control systems. When high speed on-off valve is controlled by Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) of high frequency, the valve core can float at a certain position which is adjusted by changing the duty ratio within a certain effective range. Then the high speed on-off valve can control the flow and pressure linearly like proportional valve. Thus it is essential to extend the effective range of duty ratio to improve the linear control performance of high speed on-off valve. In this paper, the high speed on-off valve of the automotive Electronic Stability Program (ESP) is the focus, and its flow force is analyzed in detail to get the effects of hydraulic parameters on the valve performance. The mathematic model of the high speed on-off valve is derived. Then the valve structural parameters are optimized according to the Genetic Algorithm(GA), offering the theoretical references for extending the effective duty ratio of PWM. Besides, the

As a significant control component of vehicles, automatic transmissions should have failure protection function. The failure protection function partly is determined by the hydraulic control system. However traditional design could not cover all of failures, and there is no general design method. A design method is proposed for designing the shift control oil circuit of the hydraulic control system with the failure protection function. The design method is applied to optimize the hydraulic control system of a six-speed automatic transmission. The function of the optimized hydraulic control system is confirmed by the dynamic simulation. The results show that the design method can simplify the hydraulic control system without losing any original functions. The proposed design method is proved to be suitable for all kinds of hydraulic control systems of automatic transmissions.

Tighter communications help OEMs meet tighter regulations14OFHD01_011/16/2014
Closer links between powertrains and hydraulic systems cut fuel usage and emissions while improving efficiency. As regulations including Tier 4 further restrict fuel consumption requirements, design teams are tightening the links between powertrains and hydraulic systems. Improving communications between the two can bring significant savings while also reducing size and weight. Advanced electronics permit matching the hydraulics demand and the engine load, which cuts fuel usage while improving hydraulic performance. Engines can run in their sweet spots longer and hydraulic systems can deliver power more quickly when they don't have to wait for engines to rev up. These revisions also help trim emissions.

Double Tube Shock Absorber Model for Noise and Vibration Analysis2013-01-19125/13/2013
The “structure-borne” noise of the shock absorber is often responsible for undesirable noise in the car interior cabin. These vibrations are attributed to friction, opening/closing of the valves, fluid cavitation or other complex phenomena. Early numerical prediction of the level of these vibrations in the car development process saves time and money. Most of the shock absorber models existing in the literature are limited to analysis of vehicle ride and handling. For noise and vibration analysis, the published works do not explicitly describe any model with its associated assumptions and a clear correlation with the experiments for high frequencies. Moreover there is no interpretation of the physical meaning of the high-frequency content of the response. The objective of the present work is to build a double tube shock absorber model correlated up to 700 Hz. Experimental testing results are presented in this paper in order to put in evidence the non-linear phenomena localized on the

A Computational Method for Efficient Hub Offset Comparisons with Deflected-Disc Dampers2013-01-13574/8/2013
With deflected-disc dampers, digressive force-velocity shapes are achieved via the combined effects of disc stack stiffness and hub-offset. The degree of digressiveness can be adjusted to alter vehicle performance by changing the proportion of these parameters. Optimizing this relationship can yield substantial vehicle performance improvements, but the time consuming iterative process of developing a new disc stack for each hub-offset discourages experimentation. To enable more efficient digressiveness comparisons, a regression-based computational method has been developed which converts disc stack stiffness from one hub-offset to other offsets directly, without iteration. Once an initial disc stack for one offset has been tuned by traditional methods, stacks for other offsets can be calculated that maintain overall damper control. This paper will present background information on deflected disc valving and curve shaping, describe development of the computational method, and show an

8000 psi Hydraulic Systems: Experience and Test ResultsAIR4002A (Current)11/15/2012
Shortly after World War II, as aircraft became more sophisticated and power-assist, flight-control functions became a requirement, hydraulic system operating pressures rose from the 1000 psi level to the 3000 psi level found on most aircraft today. Since then, 4000 psi systems have been developed for the U.S. Air Force XB-70 and B-1 bombers and a number of European aircraft including the tornado multirole combat aircraft and the Concorde supersonic transport. The V-22 Osprey incorporates a 5000 psi hydraulic system. The power levels of military aircraft hydraulic systems have continued to rise. This is primarily due to higher aerodynamic loading, combined with the increased hydraulic functions and operations of each new aircraft. At the same time, aircraft structures and wings have been getting smaller and thinner as mission requirements expand. Thus, internal physical space available for plumbing and components continues to decrease.

Insights into sustainability: Environmental, economic, and/or societal goals for a successful, and long-lasting, off-highway industry. - Focusing on technology, for sustainability From time to time, a topic or issue becomes so heavily discussed throughout industry and manufacturing circles that it becomes a buzzword. A few years ago “sustainability” appeared headed for that fate. However, sustainability and sustainable manufacturing will continue to be driving forces into the future for many industries, including mobile equipment, especially as many companies are developing Tier 4 platforms. Like our customers, Bosch Rexroth is a manufacturer, and we continue to pursue our own sustainable initiatives to eliminate waste and reduce our carbon footprint, even as we grow. For example, all Rexroth plants worldwide are scheduled to reduce their CO2 emissions by 20% by 2020. We've minimized the use of packaging materials and are using low-emissions process chemicals for windings. In 2010, our

Development of iQ with CVT for USA2011-01-14254/12/2011
TOYOTA has developed the iQ with a 1.3L engine for the Scion brand in USA. Due to the importance of fun-to-drive factor for the Scion brand image, a responsive driving performance is required even with compact packaging and a small engine. In addition, because of the recent attention to global-warming and energy issues on a global scale, development of vehicles with high fuel economy is one of the most important issues for a car manufacturer. Therefore, it is necessary for a vehicle to have both high driving performance and fuel economy. TOYOTA has adopted the CVT-i as the transmission for this purpose. The following were achieved by adopting the CVT-i as the transmission for the iQ(1.3L). 1 Responsive driving performance with shift changes without a time lag. 2 Compact transmission for efficient vehicle packaging 3 Class-leading fuel economy performance. Moreover, it was developed with adjustments for the US market by improving the shift schedule for a linear acceleration feel. This

Use of Dynamic Distortion to Predict and Alleviate Loss of ControlTBMG-91622/1/2011
This research has developed and evaluated the specific concepts, termed “Smart-Cue” and “Smart-Gain,” to alleviate aircraft loss of control that results from unfavorable pilot/vehicle system interactions, including pilot-induced oscillations (PIOs). Unfavorable pilot/ vehicle-system interactions have long been an aviation safety problem. While the effective aircraft dynamic properties involved in these events have been extensively studied and understood, similar scrutiny has not been paid to the many aspects of the primary manual control system that converts the pilot control inputs to motions of the control surfaces. The purpose of the Smart-Cue and Smart-Gain developments is to redress this neglect, and to develop and validate remedial manual control systems.
Electro-Hydraulic Motion Controller for Earthquake SimulationTBMG-106866/1/2010
How do you test the behavior of different soil structures in an earthquake? Obviously, large earthquakes don’t happen often, and they certainly don’t happen on cue. The solution, of course, is to model earthquakes in a laboratory environment. And that’s exactly what is being done by the Center for Geotechnical Modeling at the University of California, Davis. Since it’s not economical to simulate the forces of an earthquake on fullsize soil structures such as one would find beneath a real bridge or large building, physical models of much smaller size are used. In Figure 1, for example, is a model of the San Francisco Bay Area Rapid Transit transbay tube that was recently tested in Davis1.
Aircraft Level Steering Runaway Failure Analysis2009-01-313611/10/2009
Integration of aircraft landing gear systems requires a high level of knowledge and understanding of these systems and how they contribute to aircraft performance. This paper considers a specific design requirement for the steering system. Failure of the steering system, resulting in the aircraft leaving the runway at high speed, can be considered hazardous or even catastrophic. The ability of the system to detect such a failure and take appropriate action is a key aspect of the design. This paper describes an aircraft level steering runaway failure analysis using an aircraft level mechanical and hydraulic control coupled simulation model. The aircraft level simulation model includes aircraft structure, weight and inertia. Appropriate loads and forces (engine thrust, aerodynamic forces, lift, drag) and moments are then applied. The model also includes nose and main landing gears, brakes and tires. The steering system model includes all hydraulic and control components, with failure

Hydraulic Fluid Efficiency Studies in Low-Speed High-Torque Motors2009-01-284810/6/2009
This paper presents an investigation of the fluid viscosity properties that affect the Low-Speed High-Torque (LSHT) efficiency of hydraulic motors. Low speed torque efficiency is important because it often determines the minimum displacement (size) and operating pressure of mobile hydraulic equipment. The viscosity, viscosity index, high-shear viscosity, piezoviscosity and shear stability of prototype fluids have been characterized. These hydraulic fluids have been evaluated in a full-scale hydraulic motor dynamometer. Geroler, axial piston and radial piston motors have been evaluated. Low-speed (1 RPM) testing has been performed under constant pressure conditions in accordance with the ISO 4392-1 standard test method. Startability testing has been performed under constant load conditions in accordance with ISO 4392-2. In startability and 1 RPM testing, the axial piston motor exhibited a 6 percent efficiency gain with a high viscosity index hydraulic fluid. The radial piston and

POWER and precisionOFHOCT09_0310/1/2009
Hydraulic motors and actuators evolve along two paths, both relying on advanced controls. The hydraulic motors and actuators that make hydraulic power useful on work sites are continuing to increase power while also adding more precision. The electronic controls that help facilitate these changes are undergoing a transformation as well, as they move from centralized to distributed architectures. As with many components on today's vehicles, controls are as integral in motors and actuators as the metal they are built with. These controllers handle more of the workload so operators can focus on the variations that only humans can make. When microprocessors handle repetitive tasks and synchronize parameters such as engine speed to the job at hand, jobs can often be done in less time.

Fuel Filter Test MethodsJ905_200909 (Current)9/28/2009
The purpose of this fuel filter test method is to provide standardized methods for evaluating the performance characteristics of fuel filters by bench test methods. This, combined with data obtained from application tests, may be used to establish standards of performance for filters when tested by these standard methods. Many variations in requirements of filtration to protect fuel supply equipment on engines and variations in operating conditions make it difficult to specify meaningful "in-service" performance standards by which a filter may be judged. By the use of these standard test methods, test conditions are always the same, and comparisons of the laboratory performance of filters may be made with a high degree of confidence. Once the requirements of a particular application are known, performance standards for suitable filters may be established by these test methods, and adequacy of performance of filters for the job may be determined. In order to achieve the highest degree
