    The electro-hydraulic load-sensitive system based on feed-forward control is a volumetric throttling compound speed control system, which can open the valve port fully to reduce energy loss, but under overrunning conditions, the system speed characteristics can be affected by the reduced damping of the valve port, causing problems such as actuator overspeed drops and even safety accidents. To address this problem, a solution is proposed for electro-hydraulic load sensitive systems with post-valve pressure compensation: the load inlet cavity pressure is controlled to a constant value, and a corresponding pressure cascade controller is developed. The controller uses the speed feedback as the inner loop to improve the system's resistance to load disturbances and the PI controller with anti-windup compensation as the outer loop to control the working chamber pressure to a certain value. Test results based on different load conditions on a 2-ton excavator show that the working chamber pressure control can reduce the proportional valve orifice losses while maintaining the actuator speed control performance compared to the traditional direct control orifice by the handle.

    Pneumatic muscle actuators (PMAs) are widely used in industry and research fields because of light weight and good flexibility. However, the pneumatic equipment driving this actuator make the size of system relatively large. In order to solve this problem, this paper proposes a method of using the expansion work of fluorocarbon during gas-liquid phase change (GLPC) to drive the PMA, adopts metal ceramics heater (MCH) to heat the fluorocarbon, uses PI controller to control the internal pressure of the PMA, and manufactures antagonistic drive device to improve the dynamic characteristics of the force. The experimental results show that the pressure inside the PMA driven by GLPC can track the reference signal well. Compared with air driven method, the contraction rate of the PMA reduced almost by a same value when driven by GLPC. The antagonistic drive device can improve the dynamic characteristics during the force disappearing process.

    In order to investigate the influence of the width of the valve orifice on the flow characteristics of the nozzle flap-type piezoelectric pneumatic microvalve. The flow characteristics of the valve orifice with different sealing widths were numerically simulated by using the SST k-ω turbulence model and CFD technology. It is found from the calculation results that the valve face sealing width has a significant effect on the flow characteristics of the piezoelectric microvalve port. The reasonable valve face sealing width can reduce the pressure loss of the valve port and improve the flow capacity of the pneumatic microvalve port. It is also found that the flow-pressure coefficient of the microvalve is not affected by the sealing width of the valve port end face. All the studies provide an important reference for valve port design.

    The spacesuit not only can provide the basic life guarantee for the spaceman but also should have a high movability. Due to the space suit vacuum protection caused by the high-pressure air, spacesuit joint inevitably has a considerable resistance moment, making a great impact on the movement of wearer. This paper develops a test platform which can eliminate the interference of gravity and traction trajectory error, and tests the resistance moment of the elbow joint, knee joint and hip joint of the spacesuit, and analyses the relationship between the resistance moment of the joint and the residual pressure of the spacesuit and the speed of the joint. Base on the data obtained through test, the mathematical model of spacesuit joint angle and joint resistance moment is established with the combination of the improved numerical implementation method of Preisach hysteresis model and linear interpolation method. The simulation and model prediction are carried out in MATLAB/Simulink software environment. Comparisons are drawn to verify the improved hysteresis model can accurately predict the resistance moment of spacesuit joint, which provides a theoretical reference for improving the movability of spacesuit joint.

    When the heavy load AGV turns at full load, the steering resistance increases obviously, which makes it difficult for the steering control system to control quickly and accurately. Therefore, a control method based on Fuzzy PID is proposed to modify the control parameters of steering system in real time and dynamically. According to the AGV steering system structure, the control model is established, the fuzzy PID controller is built, the membership function and fuzzy rules are formulated, and the parameters of the controller are updated according to the angle deviation and deviation change rate, so that the hydraulic adjustment can be dynamically modified according to the needs, so as to ensure the fast and accurate deflection of the wheel when the steering resistance is high. The simulation and experimental results show that the fuzzy adaptive PID algorithm can effectively reduce the overshoot and vibration amplitude of the system, accelerate the response speed of the system, and improve the control accuracy and response speed of the heavy load AGV hydraulic steering system.

    Electrification of construction machinery is one of the most ideal driving methods for energy saving and emission reduction. The LUDV system used in traditional construction machinery is mainly used in the variable flow mode of variable displacement and fixed speed due to the limitation of the speed regulation characteristics of the diesel engine. When multiple actuators work at the same time, flow saturation is likely to occur. The motor has good speed regulation characteristics compared to the diesel engine. In order to further avoid the phenomenon of flow saturation, a dual variable power control method based on staged differential pressure control is proposed to explore the use of comparing the actual load pressure difference with the set pressure difference to improve maneuverability. The relationship between different target flow stages and the actual pressure difference of the load is analyzed to achieve a full range of flow matching. The variable displacement working range of the control variable pump is in a region of higher efficiency to avoid the occurrence of flow saturation. Simulation model is established in AMESim. Finally, a test prototype was built to test, and verified that the graded differential pressure control has a good flow follow-up, solves the problem of flow saturation at low speed and fixed speed of the traditional excavator, and improves energy saving by more than 19% at high speed.

    In order to solve the problem of insufficient volumetric efficiency caused by the mismatch between the structural parameters of the check valve system of a new type of water hydraulic axial piston pump driven by a cross wobble plate and the pump speed and the diameter of the plunger, the ADAMS-AMESim solid-liquid coupling simulation model of the hydraulic pump is built. At the rated speed of the new pump, the influence of the check valve core mass, spring stiffness, spring preload and the spherical diameter of the valve core on the volumetric efficiency of the new pump is analyzed. And its check valve system is optimized. The results show that the volumetric efficiency of the new pump increases with the increase of the spring stiffness and preload of the check valve, and decreases with the increase of the mass and the spherical radius of the valve core. And, the influence of the structural parameters of the inlet valve on the volumetric efficiency is greater than that of the outlet valve. Therefore, in the design of the check valve system, the stiffness and preload of the spring of the check valve should be properly increased, the mass of the valve core and the spherical diameter of the valve core should be appropriately reduced, so as to improve the volumetric efficiency of the pump.

    In order to find the ultimate energy saving boundary and clarify the energy saving mechanism of the independent metering system (IMS), static efficiency models and static energy consumption models of the conventional valve-controlled system (CVS) and the IMS are established, and then simplified to non-dimensional form by normalization method. Two kinds of working conditions which can be compared with the CVS are selected, that is, the same pump pressure source conditions and the same orifices area conditions. The comparison is made when the IMS is in the ultimate energy saving condition (the meter-out orifice is full-opened). Finally, the static efficiency and static energy consumption of two systems under different working conditions are analyzed by simulation. The comparison of efficiency distributions under all working conditions is obtained by the efficiency mapping. The results show that under the same pump source pressure, the IMS can improve the efficiency by about 5.7% and reduce the energy consumption by about 22.7% at most. Under the same orifices area, the IMS can improve the efficiency by about 19.4% and reduce the energy consumption by about 53% at most. The IMS can reduce the throttling loss of the orifices, and thus reduce the energy consumption of the CVS.

The mathematical model and simulation model of the working process of the actuator are established, and the main technical parameters of the actuator are obtained through the simulation analysis by MATLAB/Simulink. Finally, ground simulation loading experiment shows that under the condition of downwind load, the piston rod of the actuator firstly accelerates, then decelerates, and finally moves to the final position at a smaller speed, so the actuator has a good load adaptive ability. The result of the experiment is almost consistent with the result of the simulation analysis, so the result can be a reference for subsequent engineering application.

For the feature, an empirical mode decomposition (EMD) and one-dimensional densely connected convolutional networks (DenseNet) method is proposed to diagnose the internal leakage in the Electro-hydraulic Directional Valve. Firstly, a series of intrinsic mode functions (IMF) are obtained by decomposing the vibration signals with EMD, and the IMF components and the original vibration signals are stacked in parallel successively. Then, the parallel stacked signals are used as the input of one-dimensional densely connected convolution network for feature extraction and fault classification. Finally, compared with DenseNet and the traditional one-dimensional convolution neural network, it can be concluded that this method can accurately and effectively diagnose the internal leakage fault in the Electro-hydraulic Directional Valve.

    The development trend of miniaturization and integration puts higher requirements for the design of the hydraulic valve block. It is difficult and complicated to process the internal flow channel of the valve block with traditional technology. And the flow characteristics need to be improved. The new manufacturing process, additive manufacturing shows great advantages to inflow channel processing. Based on additive manufacturing the transition region of the flow channel is optimized design. Simulation was carried out by Fluent to analyze the characteristics of the flow channel connected by three methods: A linear transition, a circular transition, and a B-spline curve. It is found that the pressure loss of the B-spline curve transitional flow reduces more than 55% compared with the straight line transitional flow channel. The circular arc transitional flow channel is reduced by 28%~56% differently. The results provide a theoretical basis for the necessity of flow channel design based on additive manufacturing.

    Taking a semi-submersible floating wind turbine platform as the object, the anchor chain and polyester fiber rope are connected in sections to form a tension mooring system, and the mathematical model of environmental load and the dynamic equations of the platform and mooring system under the environmental load are established. By means of Simulink lumped parameter calculation and AQWA numerical simulation, the platform's response characteristics under wind load step input and wave load sinusoidal input are compared and analyzed. The results show that the Simulink lumped model calculation results are similar with the AQWA numerical simulation results, which shows the rationality of the lumped parameter modeling method to a certain extent. The study found that under the action of wind step input, the platform mainly shows the response of the three degrees of freedom of swaying, heaving, and rolling. The swaying stability time is short, but the offset is relatively large. The stability time of rolling is long and basically consistent. Under the action of wave sine input, the platform also mainly shows the response of the three degrees. The amplitude of the swaying is also larger than that of the heaving. The reason for the larger swaying displacement and amplitude is that the design of the semi-submersible platform with tensioned mooring is adopted. Further restricting this degree of freedom is the next research direction of the optimal design of the platform and mooring system.

    Based on the Archard equation and fluid-thermal-solid coupling method, a friction and wear prediction model for the aircraft piston pump port pair under high-speed and high-pressure conditions is established. Considering the coupling effect between the pressure, temperature and solids of the port pair on wear, a fluid-thermal-solid coupling model of the port pair is established. The oil film pressure and temperature fields of port pair are obtained by the finite element method, which will be used as the boundary conditions of wear prediction model. Then through the relationship between leakage flow rate and oil film thickness, the wear failure life of port pair is predicted and analyzed. The results show that the wear failure life of port pair is more than 2000 h under the conditions of 10000 r/min speed and 28 MPa pressure of aircraft piston pump. However, with the increase of speed and pressure, the wear failure life of port pair is significantly shortened. When the speed is 15000 r/min and the pressure is 35 MPa, the wear life of port pair is only 450 h. Therefore, some methods to improve the wear life of port pair are proposed. The prediction model has a certain guiding significance for the design of port pair of the high-speed and high-pressure aircraft piston pump.
