Abstract: Switched inertance hydraulic systems (SIHS) use inductive, capacitive, and switching elements to boost or “buck” (reduce) a pressure from a source to a load in an ideally lossless manner. Real SIHS circuits suffer a variety ...

Abstract: A challenge in realizing switch-mode hydraulic circuits is the need for a high-speed valve with fast transition time and high switching frequency. The work presented includes the design and modeling of a suitable valve and ...
