Abstract: The development of a fault tolerant control (FTC) strategy to compensate for the degrading effects of fluid leakage across a faulty actuator piston seal in an electrohydraulic positioning system ...

Abstract: This paper describes the development of a suitable algorithm to compute the potential of tipping-over for vehicles that carry manipulators. The energy method developed by Messuri and Klein (1985) ...

Abstract: This paper describes the development of a simulation model for studying the tip-over stability of a typical heavy-duty hydraulic log-loader machine. The model takes into account the dynamics of ...

Abstract: Every manipulator contact task that begins with a transition from free motion to constraint motion may exhibit impacts that could drive the system unstable. Stabilization of manipulators during ...

Abstract: This paper presents a new implementation of indirect model reference adaptive (MRA) control scheme for positioning of hydraulic actuators that operate by low-cost proportional valves. A proper ...

Abstract: Inherent to any heavy-duty hydraulic machine operation with a large number of interconnected components are nonidealities such as gear backlash, friction and leakage. The swing motion of the ...

Abstract: This paper addresses the control problem for a class of heavy-duty hydraulic machines in order to achieve coordinated motion control of the implement. A model and sensor-based control algorithm ...
