Abstract: This paper describes a study of the cylinder pressure and flow in an oil hydraulic axial piston pump. A comparison is made between a theoretical model based on the effects of fluid compliance ...

Abstract: The paper describes a general purpose digital computer model for the analysis of the pumping dynamics of positive displacement pumps employing self-acting valves. This model is verified by ...

Abstract: Regenerative systems are frequently encountered where positive displacement pumps and motors are to be tested at high pressure levels or for prolonged periods. However, there is little published ...

Abstract: Parallel simulation of systems offers the benefit of increased speed of execution, but requires the system model to be partitioned to enable numerical tasks to be performed concurrently. Hydraulic ...

Abstract: The suction dynamics of axial piston pumps become more critical if the pump is to be used at high speeds. In order to prevent air-release and cavitation from occurring within the pump it ...

Abstract: This paper describes a dynamic model for slipper-pads that allows lift and tilt behavior to be predicted, including the effects of possible contact with the swashplate or slipper retaining ...

Abstract: Fault Tree Analysis is a commonly used technique for assessing the reliability and safety of engineering systems at the design stage but it is tedious and time-consuming to apply. A reconfigurable ...
