Computer aided design in high pressure hydraulic systems

Book ·
OSTI ID:6535859

There is a high demand made on the quality and efficiency of hydraulic systems. Increasing value is set on the knowledge of the dynamic behaviour of individual elements as well as on the layout of controlled systems. The use of the computer as an aid in the design, development and manufacture of components and systems is becoming increasingly common. Computer aided design has revolutionised industry. This book is a collection of case studies and research reports which make a valuable and practical contribution to the literature. Topics considered include benefit derived from Computer Aided Design in mining machinery; experience in using Computer Aided Design and draughting equipment in the mining manufacturing industry; CAD for the port plate of a two-bearing axial piston pump or motor; computer predictions of cyclic excitation sources for an external gear pump; component design by DSH programme; end plate balance in gear pumps; the design of self-centring seal-less hydraulic pistons; experience with computers in a hydraulics company; digital computer simulation as an aid to improving the performance of positive displacement pumps with self-acting valves; the development of an automatic procedure for the digital simulation of hydraulic systems; a micro-computer based aids for hydraulic system designers; computer aided design of split power hydrostatic transmission systems; desk top computer performance prediction package; program package HYKON for planning and design of hydraulic control blocks; and the solid modelling of fluid power components.
