Abstract: The wear performance of an additively manufactured part is crucial to ensure the component’s functionality and reliability. Nevertheless, wear prediction is arduous due to numerous influential factors in both the manufacturing ...

Abstract: The air content in hydraulic transmission fluids significantly reduces bulk modulus of the fluid and causes a drop in the stiffness and response of the hydraulic system. It is consequently very important to monitor the air ...

Abstract: Selective laser melting (SLM) technology has a great potential to reduce size and weight of hydraulic valves. However, the tribological performance of an SLMed valve has not been studied which is crucial for the performance ...

Abstract: This paper reports on experimental investigations of a switched inertance hydraulic system (SIHS), which is designed to control the flow and pressure of a hydraulic supply. The switched system basically consists of a ...
