    In order to reveal the development laws of cavitation during high-speed operation of gear pumps, the oil suction characteristics of high-power dual gear pump for wheel loaders were studied. The effects of speed and suction pressure on the cavitation and output flow characteristics of the dual gear pump were analyzed through full flow field simulation and test. The results show that the critical speed for significant cavitation in the dual gear pump is 2400 r/min. When the speed exceeds 2400 r/min, the gas content inside the pump increases sharply, which has serious impact on the continuity and stability of the output flow. The critical suction pressure of the dual pump is 0.19 MPa and the output flow pulsation will increase if the suction port pressure continues to increase. The critical suction pressure of the dual gear pump is 0.19 MPa. If the suction pressure is continued to increase, the flow pulsation of the pump would be also increased. Compared with the suction pressure of 0.1 MPa and 0.19 MPa, when the suction pressure at 0.19 MPa, the gas volume fraction of gear pair 1 and gear pair 2 decreases by 0.059 and 0.067 respectively, and the effective flow rate increases by 7.96% and 9.24%, respectively. By appropriately increasing the inlet pressure of the pump, there is a significant improvement effect on the suppression of cavitation and the improvement of effective flow rate in gear pump, which has positive engineering practical significance.

    Pilot-operated electro-hydraulic proportional relief valve is a pressure control valve that is used to control the oil pressure in the system. It can control the electromagnetic force with electric signal according to the requirements of working conditions, so as to achieve the pressure control of the hydraulic system, and is composed of pilot valve, main valve and hand-adjustable safety valve. Due to the control valve port flow state is complex, the use of flow experience formula and the traditional hydrodynamic formula is difficult to accurately calculate the orifice flow and spool hydrodynamic force, resulting in large differences between the mathematical model calculations and the experiments. In order to accurately obtain the static characteristics of the relief valve, the Fluent software is used to simulate the flow field of the main valve and pilot valve to obtain the spool force and orifice flow under different orifice openings and differential pressures. The interpolation model is obtained by interpolating the spool force and orifice flow, according to which the static mathematical model is solved to obtain the static characteristic curve of the relief valve. The results show that the static characteristic curve obtained from the interpolation model is more consistent with the experiment curve.

    To address issues such as uncontrollable pressure difference, limited flow regulation range, and low flow control precision in pre-compensated multi-way valves, a principle of active pressure-difference control is proposed. By using a proportional pressure-reducing valve to regulate the force on the compensator spool to achieve proportional control of pressure-difference, actively adjusting according to working conditions, and improving the flow-control range. Additionally, a variable gain control strategy is developed, integrating closed-loop main spool position control, flow gain adjustment, and flow force compensation to mitigate adverse factors, match target flow curves, and enhance flow-control precision. Results show that adjusting the pressure-reducing valve allows the main valve pressure-difference to be continuously regulated within 0~1.28 MPa, increasing the flow-control range to 0%~131% of the original valve's capacity. Closed-loop control of the spool position improved accuracy, reducing flow hysteresis from 4.6% to 2%, a decrease of over 50% compared to the original valve. This method enables multiple flow gain configurations with the same main valve without altering the spool structure. By using the pressure-difference control unit to balance hydraulic forces on the compensator, disturbances from flow forces on the pressure-difference are eliminated, further enhancing flow-control precision.

    In view of the complex structure of the hydraulic bracket directional valve components to form irregular flow paths, the traditional primary momentum theorem can not accurately find out the spool flow force, as well as due to the flow force is too large or unstable, the dynamic and static characteristics of the valve is reduced, with the bracket directional valve as the object, based on the analysis of its structural composition and principle of operation, a division of the whole basin control volume method is put forward. The momentum theorem is used to analyze the amount of momentum change in each control volume, and the influence of structural parameters of upstream and downstream components of the spool on the flow force is considered, so that the steady-state flow force formula of the spool is derived more accurately, and theoretical calculations are carried out. By analyzing the formula, the method of optimizing the structural parameters of the valve components to compensate the steady-state flow force is derived, and the change rule of steady-state flow force with the spool opening is simulated by CFD method. The results show that after the optimization of structural parameters, the peak and change amplitude of the flow force suffered by the spool are lower than the original structure of the flow force. After optimizing the inner diameter structure of the valve sleeve, the peak flow force and the amplitude of change were reduced by 56.25% and 48.12% respectively compared to the original structure. After optimizing the diameter of the top rod of the return spool, the peak value and variation amplitude of the flow force were reduced by 28.79% and 32.71% respectively compared to the original structure. After optimizing the inclination angle of the return spool end face, the peak value and variation amplitude of flow force were reduced by 31.87% and 37.16% respectively compared to the original structure, which effectively alleviates the problem of reduced dynamic and static performance of the valve due to the steady state flow force applied to the spool of the stent-operated directional valve.

    The slide valve integrated into existing valve-controlled digital hydraulic cylinder usually adopts a full-circular opening, resulting in high flow gain and significant hydraulic forces on the valve spool, which seriously affect the dynamic response characteristics during startup and switching. This article focuses on six typical non-circular opening value structures, calculates the flow area of each valve spool throttle groove, and determines the structural parameters of one-section stage (U, V, K shape) and two-section stage (UU, UV, UK shape) throttle groove under the same flow area. The response of the digital hydraulic cylinder with different non-circular opening slide valve under step input signals and step load disturbance were studied and compared. The simulation and experimental results show that, compared to other valve port forms, the digital hydraulic cylinder has a better response to the step input signals when the throttle groove adopts K-shaped and UK-shaped structures. Compared to UK-shaped throttle groove, when the valve core adopts the K-shaped throttle groove, the load stiffness of the digital hydraulic cylinder controlled by the slide valve is better, and the speed impact is smaller, but the working pressure of the piston rodless cavity is slower. Additionally, with UK-shaped throttle groove, the digital hydraulic cylinder controlled by the slide valve exhibits faster response speeds under the same load interference.

Finally, the fatigue life of the liquid-filled pipelines is improved by optimizing the wave height and the wall thickness of the bellows. The research conclusion shows that the fatigue life of the liquid-filled pipelines increases and then decreases with the increase of the wave height dimension and wall thickness dimension of the bellows. When the bellows wave height and wall thickness are adjusted to 3.5 mm and 0.33 mm, respectively, the optimization effect is obvious, and the expected fatigue life of liquid-filled pipelines is increased from 1.056×106 times to 1.80×107 times.

    The sealing performance and service life of metal hard sealed tri-eccentric butterfly valve are determined by the sealing specific pressure in a closed state, and optimizing the structure parameter of the metal hard sealing components is very important. The DN600 tri-eccentric butterfly valve is taken as the research object. Using the finite element analysis method, the distribution law of the sealing specific pressure on the sealing surface is analyzed. The circumferential clearance index of the sealing mating surface is proposed to estimate the sealing performance of the butterfly valve. The Box-Behnken response surface optimization method is used to optimize the structure of the sealing component. The influence of the cutting thickness of the major, minor diameter ends of the composite valve plate seat, the diameter of the composite valve plate seat and their interaction on the maximum sealing specific pressure of the sealing surface is discussed, and a optimal design solution is obtained. The research results show that the maximum sealing specific pressure of the sealing surface is dropped from 202.96 MPa to 128.44 MPa after optimizing the composite valve plate seat parameters, and the sealing performance of the valve is still good. The reliability of the sealing performance of the optimized butterfly valve is verified through a closed pressure sealing test.

    Pilot valve is the key structure of continuous damping control shock absorber solenoid valve, which mainly regulates the opening pressure of the main relief valve, and its performance directly affects the damping characteristics of continuous damping control shock absorber. Taking a double-reset continuous damping control shock absorber pilot valve as the research object, firstly, Maxwell, Femm simulation and experimental data of the pilot valve are compared to verify the correctness of the simulation model. Then, the effects of enamelled wire diameter, enamelled wire temperature resistance class, soft magnetic material and structure size on the performance of the pilot valve are analyzed through parametric simulation and temperature rise test. The results show that the electromagnetic force is positively correlated with the wire diameter, and the steady force characteristic of the pilot valve deteriorates gradually when the wire diameter increases to the critical point of 0.45 mm. The temperature resistance grade of the enameled wire 240 ℃ limits the maximum operating current 2 A of the pilot valve, the knee position of the soft magnetic material affects the steady force characteristic of the pilot valve, and the performance of the pilot valve is improved by reducing the lateral clearance as much as possible. The height of the magnetic permeator has the most significant effect on the performance of the pilot valve. The research aims to provide a useful theoretical reference for the design of continuous damping control shock absorber pilot valve.

    Online wear state recognition of key friction pairs in the axial piston pump is crucial for ensuring the stability and reliability of the whole hydraulic transmission and control system. However, wear state recognition performance is always hindered by strong noise interference in real working conditions. Although wear state recognition models can enhance noise robustness through adversarial training, their large number of parameters limits the application on edge computing devices. To balance noise robustness and model scale, a lightweight method based on adversarial distillation for online wear state recognition is proposed. A student model and a teacher model based on one dimension convolutional neural network are designed. The student model generates adversarial examples as a knowledge transfer dataset and learns robust feature knowledge from the teacher model through knowledge distillation. Through fault injection, comparison experiments, and ablation experiments, the proposed method demonstrates strong noise robustness and lightweight model structure advantages. Edge deployment and online verification experiments show that the proposed method can accurately recognize the wear state of the axial piston pump in real time.

The flow characteristics of the hydraulic oil and the flow-pressure characteristics of the valve are analyzed, and the test is carried out. Finally, the influence of different structural parameters of valve port on the pressure loss is explored. The results show that when the inlet flow rate is greater than 60 L/min, the simulation results and test errors of whether to consider cavitation are 4.16% and 22.41%, respectively. The pressure loss can be reduced by using a smooth transition at the sharp edge, increasing the valve sleeve aperture and reducing the diameter of the valving element, which can provide reference for the optimal design of the logic valve.

    Active suppression of pressure pulsation is the key technology to improve the control accuracy and reliability of digital hydraulic valve control system. However, the current active suppression method lacks an in-depth understanding of its characteristics when suppressing pressure pulsations, resulting in unsatisfactory suppression effects. Therefore, a pressure pulsation test bench was designed, and the changes of pressure pulsation at different positions in the system were analyzed. The influence of hydraulic pumps and high-speed on-off valves on pressure pulsation at different positions was further explored. The results show that the main pressure pulsation in the digital hydraulic valve control system comes from the water hammer phenomenon caused by the continuous on/off of the high-speed on-off valve, and the frequency of the pressure pulsation is always consistent with the on/off frequency of the valve. This study provides a new idea for the design of feedforward active suppression system, and also provides a reference for the development of more efficient pressure pulsation attenuator.

A cylinder cushioning test bench is built to conduct experiments and find the corresponding relationship between the number of valve turns. An AMESim model simulates the cushioning effect at various valve openings. The sonic velocity discharge method measures the effective throttle area of pneumatic components, revealing the area matching relationship between the cushion valve and speed control valve when effective cushioning occurs.

    The film temperature distribution of the port plate pair in piston pump affects the lubrication, leakage, and friction. The test platform was constructed to measure the three-point film thickness and multi-point temperature of the port plate pair. The wedge-shaped oil film model was established according to the three-point film thickness test data. The axial force balance equation of the piston cylinder was derived regarding the static pressures in the piston chambers and in the film on the cylinder, and the force between the micro-convex surfaces of the port plate pair. The film heat balance model was developed considering the energy loss, the heat conduction, and the oil viscosity-temperature characteristics. The results indicate that the film maximum temperature increases with the rise of the loading pressure and the swash plate inclination angle. The maximum temperature point falls in the range of -20°~20° on both sides of the symmetric line of the high-pressure waist groove.

    The reason for the abnormal ejection of the actuator cylinder of an aircraft hatch cover is that the oil contains gas, which leads to the decrease of the volumetric modulus of elasticity of the oil, the increase of compressibility, and the easy occurrence of the ejection phenomenon, and the relationship between the gas content and the volumetric modulus of elasticity of the oil is obtained based on the IFAS model. The sealing area of the hydraulic maneuvering system of the hatch cover is sealed by O-ring, but the existence of rough surface features of the key components constitutes a gas leakage channel, which leads to the mixing of gas in the hydraulic maneuvering system of the hatch cover. Therefore, this paper proposes a leakage rate calculation method based on the Roth model, in which the contact relationship between the O-ring and the metal rough surface is regarded as the contact relationship between the elastic metal smooth surface and the rigid metal rough surface, and the triangular peaks of the metal roughness surface contour are arranged in a homogeneous manner, so that the leakage path is defined as a trapezoidal channel. Based on the finite element software ABAQUS, the sealing performance coefficient of the seal is calculated, and the effects of surface roughness as well as bias loading condition on the gas leakage rate are analyzed, and finally, the results are compared with the theoretical results by ANSYS simulation analysis. This work has important guiding significance for the design of high-precision seal structure processing.

The SPEA2 algorithm is utilized to optimize the external shape of the spool. The Pareto-optimal designs of the spool shape are obtained. The flow field and pressure distribution of the spool before and after optimization are simulated using CFD software, and the optimization effect is verified. An experimental platform is built to test the hydrodynamic force of the spool before and after optimization. This platform is capable of calculating the steady-state flow force acting on the spool during operation. Experimental results show that the flow force of the optimized spool decreases under different opening displacements, with an average decrease of 14.86% in the steady-state hydrodynamic force. The change trend is consistent with the simulation calculation, and the optimization effect is maximized when the opening displacement of the spool is 0.6 mm, further verifying the feasibility of the optimization scheme.

Aiming at the problem, based on its internal structure and working principle, the dynamic characteristics of pilot-operated control stage, main valve spool and the gas flow process in the valve are modeled and analyzed, and the equivalent spring stiffness and Stribeck friction coefficient in the valve are identified by genetic algorithm. AMESim is used to simulate and analyze the pilot-operated pneumatic proportional valve, and the influence of the main parameters such as the upper chamber volume, equivalent spring stiffness and the entrapment area of the pilot-operated inlet channel on the response hysteresis and control accuracy is obtained. Aiming at minimum hysteresis, the optimal parameters are determined by quadratic programming algorithm. The results show that the dead-time is reduced from 0.041 s to 0.031 s, and the time to steady-state is shortened by 20.79% after the sequential quadratic planning design. By optimizing the proportional valves of different calibers, the response hysteresis is reduced by about 20% under the premise of ensuring the control accuracy.

A linear force motor scheme using electrically-heated NiTi shape memory alloys wire to electrically heat and drive the valve core is proposed. Based on Brinson's one-dimensional constitutive equation, a thermodynamic model of shape memory alloys is established. MATLAB Simulink is used to simulate shape memory alloys wire electro-thermal behavior under varying currents, and the heat-induced effects on linear force motor actuation are analyzed. When the spring stiffness is 20 N/mm, the maximum displacement and driving force of three different lengths of shape memory alloys wires with a diameter of 0.5 mm are calculated theoretically. Finally, a test bench is built. When 6 A current is applied at 22 ℃, the three different lengths of shape memory alloys wires reach the maximum displacement of 1.8, 2.1, 2.5 mm respectively at about 0.5 s. The corresponding driving forces are 58.4, 61, 80 N. Compared with the simulation results, the displacement and driving force errors are both within 10%. The natural cooling response time after power-off is 5 s, and the total response time is 5.5 s. The results show that it is feasible to use shape memory alloys linear force motor to drive the hydraulic valve with a frequency response below 0.2 Hz.

    A novel control technique is proposed to improve the response speed, robustness, and control accuracy of actuators by combining an extended state observer with a backstepping integral terminal sliding mode preset performance controller. Firstly, the nonlinear disturbance observer is integrated with the extended state observer to achieve observation of state variables, external disturbances, and matching disturbances. Then, integral terminal sliding mode and specified performance constraints are introduced into the controller to accelerate the convergence speed of the tracking error of the actuator when the displacement error is far from the equilibrium point, and ensure that the transient and steady-state position responses are within the required bounded range. Finally, stability analysis of the controller is conducted based on the Lyapunov method. The results indicate that under the condition of tracking composite trajectories with external load disturbances, the designed controller can guarantee transient performance and the specified tracking accuracy. Compared to the backstepping sliding mode controller and PID controller, the proposed controller exhibits better control performance.

    The design of flow resistance characteristics of labyrinth channel is the key to achieving throttling and pressure reduction in labyrinth adjusting valve. However, the structure of the labyrinth channel is complex, and particle in the fluid can easily lead to clogging of the channel, affecting the throttling and pressure reducing performance.

Through orthogonal experimental design, the relationship between the structure parameters of Tesla-shaped channel and flow resistance coefficient and particle passing time is elucidated, and a multiple nonlinear regression model is established.Multi-objective optimization algorithm based on NSGA-II is used and the optimization design of labyrinth channel with high flow resistance and low clogging rate is carried out with the maximum flow resistance coefficient and the minimum particle passing time as the optimization objectives. The results show that reducing the width and depth of the Tesla-shaped channel can increase the flow resistance coefficient, reducing the length of the outlet section can decrease the particle passing time. After optimization, the flow resistance coefficient of the Tesla-shaped channel is increased by 55.3%, and the particle passing time is decreased by 1.58%, effectively improving the flow resistance characteristics and anti-clogging performance.

    Underwater hydraulic manipulators are pivotal apparatuses for underwater special operations. Currently, the control of hydraulic manipulators for underwater operations mainly relies on visual feedback to determine the position. However, various operating errors can occur, such as camera distortion and water flow interference, which often result in sticking or jamming issues, severely impacting the efficiency and safety of operations. To address these, an active/passive compliant control system specifically designed for underwater hydraulic manipulators is proposed. By designing an end clamp, position and deflection errors are compensated to achieve passive compliance. Active compliance is achieved by the virtual decomposition control method, combined with a force observer and impedance control. Furthermore, the effectiveness of the active/passive compliant control method is verified through experiments, providing a reference for the design of safe and compliant control for underwater hydraulic manipulators.

    Flow pulsation is an inherent property of the delivery oil of axial piston pumps. The pressure pulsation induced by flow pulsation affects the working quality and service life of axial piston pumps and even the entire hydraulic system. To clarify the causes and components of flow pulsation, a three-dimensional transient CFD model of an axial piston pump is established, a test platform for pressure pulsation at the outlet of an axial piston pump is built to verify the numerical model experimentally. In addition, the pressure pulsation components due to geometric pulsation, backflow pulsation, leakage pulsation and dead zone pulsation are obtained by adjusting the geometrical structure parameters of the simulation model. The verified simulation model is employed to analyze the amplitude contributions of each flow pulsation component under different operating conditions. The simulation results indicate that geometric pulsation and backflow pulsation have positive contributions to the flow pulsation, while leakage pulsation and dead zone pulsation have negative contributions to the flow pulsation. The geometric pulsation, backflow pulsation, dead zone pulsation,and leakage pulsation account for 9%, 214%, -35% and -88%, respectively, of the total delivery flow pulsation at a discharge pressure of 10 MPa and a rotational speed of 1000 r/min. The research results provide an important theoretical basis for the formation mechanism and suppression methods of the delivery flow pulsation in axial piston pumps.

    The thrust reverser actuation system is used to control and drive the aircraft thrust reverser deployment and retraction, thereby enhancing landing safety. The synchronization of the actuation has a direct bearing on the efficiency of the aircraft reverse thrust and landing safety. Through a comprehensive analysis of the synchronization requirements of the hydraulic thrust reverser actuation system and an exploration of synchronous actuation architectures, a scheme of the hydraulic thrust reverser synchronous actuation system is proposed. Subsequently, the system mathematical and AMESim simulation models are established. These models are utilized to simulate and analyze the impact of various operating conditions, asynchronous loads, and flow control valves on the displacement synchronization of the system. The results reveal that, in comparison to the synchronous scheme of diversion valve and throttle valve, the flow rate of the speed control valve scheme is less affected by the system operating conditions. Furthermore, the load has lesser impact on the synchronization of the system operation. Consequently, the adoption of a speed control valve scheme based on constant flow control can achieve the thrust reverser actuation system deploying and stowing synchronously under different operating conditions.

    To meet the demand for high-precision coupled control of displacement and force in the electro-hydraulic servo systems of bidirectional hydraulic press, a kind of separate meter in and meter out electro-hydraulic servo system for bidirectional hydraulic presses is designed. A corresponding mathematical model is established, revealing the physical laws of the displacement-force coupled control system based on linear loads. A decoupling method for displacement-force coupled control of the bidirectional hydraulic press is proposed, simulation analysis and experimental validation are conducted based on linear loads.

This method not only achieves the high-precision coupled control requirements of displacement and force for the bidirectional hydraulic press but also enhances the system's degrees of freedom, offering a new approach to the study of decoupling methods in the displacement-force coupled control.

    The platform of hydraulic leveling system exists over-running load during back down process, and with the load center of gravity shift and platform tilt changes, the load force acting on the outrigger hydraulic cylinder will also change. The traditional hydraulic system load control valve or counterbalance valve in the balance variable over-running load speed control effect is poor, easy to speed jitter. In order to solve this problem, the independent metering control technology is adopted, and for the variable over-running load condition of the hydraulic cylinder when the platform is falling back, the pressure-flow composite control method is proposed to control the hydraulic cylinder rod chamber in the hydraulic leveling system, and the flow control in the rodless chamber, and the mathematical model is established and verified by the joint simulation of AMESim and Simulink. The results show that, in the event of a sudden change in the load force, the hydraulic cylinder rod chamber pressure and rodless chamber flow can be restored to the control value within 0.2 s, balancing out the system variable beyond the load at the same time, to meet the system speed control requirements.

    At present, it is difficult to further improve the matching characteristics of output force switching electromagnetic for mining by relying on the traditional electromagnet optimization design under the dual limitations of intrinsic safety and power. The electromagnet on the mine electromagnetic pilot valve is taken as the research object, aiming at the problem of poor matching between the output electromagnetic force and the load reaction, the influence of the structure parameters of the electromagnet on the output force characteristics is analyzed by finite element method, and the optimization idea combining finite element analysis and multi-objective genetic algorithm is adopted to correct the output force characteristic curve of the electromagnet. The experimentals show that the matching relationship between the inside diameter of the pole shoe and the outside diameter of the armature has a significant influence on the electromagnetic force characteristics. The horizontal section of the electromagnetic force displacement characteristic is doubled after optimization, and the matching with the load reaction force is obviously improved.

    This paper proposes a new type of lifting oil-gas buffer structure which meets both the buffering function and the demands of aircraft loading and unloading cargoes, and the performance parameters of this structure are analyzed through virtual simulation technology. Based on the working principle of this new type of lifting oil-gas buffer, its mathematical model and simulation model are constructed. The results show that, within a certain range, the lifting and buffering performance of this oil-gas buffer is positively correlated with the initial pressure of the air cavity and negatively correlated with the initial volume of the air cavity, however, when the initial pressure of the air cavity increases to 7.5 MPa or the initial volume of the air cavity decreases to 0.01 m3, the system will appear a jitter phenomenon. The results provide a reference for the structural design of oil-gas buffers for lifting landing gear in engineering applications, enhancing both design efficiency and quality.

    Fluid-structure interaction vibration widely exists in hydraulic pipeline system. In order to study the influence of fluid flow and clamp constraint on the fluid-structure interaction vibration of pipeline, the pipeline is simulated by ANSYS Workbench software, and the experimental platform is established. The law between different flow rates and the vibration response of horizontal pipeline is analyzed by hammering method, and the influence of different clamp materials and constraint positions on the vibration characteristics of spatial pipeline system is studied. Simulation and experimental results indicate that as the fluid flow rate in the pipeline system increases, the inherent frequency of the system decreases. Changing the clamp materials and its constraint positions can effectively adjust the inherent frequency of the pipeline to avoid system resonance.

    In order to improve the friction condition of the stator-slipper pair of the high-pressure large displacement radial piston pump and achieve precise pump variables, a non fixed installation structure in the circumferential direction of the stator was proposed. Then the mechanical characteristics of the slippers and piston component were analyzed, the sliding friction torque of a single slipper and the combined force torque of 11 slippers friction were established, and the variation curve of the stator angular velocity was obtained. It was found that the stator can move under the sliding friction torque of slippers, and the friction torque in the oil discharge area is greater than that in the oil suction area. After normal operation of the radial piston pump, the stator angular velocity stabilizes between 89.5 rad/s and 90.6 rad/s, exhibiting periodic changes. The number of slippers that hinder stator movement is 4 or 5 alternating changes. The research provides certain references for the design of slipper pairs for high-pressure large displacement radial piston pump and the improvement of pump performance.

    To address the high precision temperature control requirements of semiconductor manufacturing equipment and other precision devices and instruments, a high precision temperature control system based on a temperature gradient attenuator is proposed. First, the heater is used as a temperature regulator to compensate for low-frequency temperature disturbances. Additionally, the flow mixing mechanism of the temperature gradient attenuator is employed to reduce high-frequency temperature disturbances in the fluid. Together, these components form a complementary high precision temperature control system. A simulation model is constructed using MATLAB/Simulink. Under model predictive control, disturbance attenuation analysis of the high precision temperature control system is conducted in both time and frequency domains. By comparing experimental and simulation results, it is found that the maximum temperature rise in the temperature control system using model predictive control is reduced by 24% during the temperature rise phase caused by thermal disturbances, compared to traditional PID control. The results validate the superior attenuation effect and disturbance rejection performance of the high precision temperature control system based on the temperature gradient attenuator.

    When using a variable speed motor to drive a fixed pump as an electro-hydraulic power source, pressure control is achieved by controlling the speed, which is difficult to adapt to the rapidly changing load flow conditions. Using a servo motor to drive a fixed pump through direct torque control to achieve pressure control has the advantage of faster dynamic response compared to variable speed pressure control. However, due to the influence of nonlinear factors such as rotational speed, there is a non-linear correspondence between torque and pressure, which leads to significant pressure control deviation in open-loop control. Therefore, this research proposes to use a 2D chart of speed and pressure control deviation that can be iteratively generated offline for speed compensation in open-loop pressure control. Through theoretical analysis and digital simulation, the results show that under the same conditions, compared with the pressure control scheme using fitted curves for speed compensation, the pressure control error is reduced to 2%. This scheme can better achieve pressure control.

    To solve the problem of uneven spreading ratio in the traditional control method of long fiber anti-cracking composite sealer during walking, a fuzzy fractional PID cooperative control method is proposed. The method employs a fractional-order PID controller to realize cooperative control of the travelling and spreading mechanism within the long fiber anti-cracking composite sealer. By integrating fuzzy control rules, the parameters of the fractional-order PID controller are dynamically optimized in real-time, thereby enhancing the overall control efficacy of the system. The performance of the proposed method is compared with that of the traditional PID controller through Simulink simulation experiments, and the results show that the proposed controller has significant superiority in terms of the response speed of traveling and spreading as well as the steady-state error. The proposed control method has been verified through the real vehicle test bed, and the synergistic control of fibre, asphalt and gravel during the travelling process of the long fibre anti-cracking composite sealer has been successfully achieved, which provides a new research idea in the field of synergistic control of travelling and spreading system of the long fibre anti-cracking composite sealer.

    For pneumatic servo systems, the motion of the piston, parameter variations, and modeling uncertainties further increase the difficulty of high-precision position control. A third-order mathematical model is established for the pneumatic 3-UPU robot system to provide a roughly accurate reference model for control algorithms. An high-precision pose control algorithm based on auto-disturbance rejection controller (ADRC) is proposed, which combines nonlinear PID with a tracking differentiator to arrange a fast and smooth transition process. The leakage flow rate of the cylinder is utilized as a disturbance to design an extended state observer, constructing an ADRC controller suitable for high-precision pneumatic 3-UPU robots. Results show that the ADRC controller has strong robustness, with a steady-state control accuracy of approximately 0.45 mm and a dynamic (0.2 Hz) tracking root mean square error of less than 10.0 mm.

Magnetorheological grease with different fiber cotton mass fractions is prepared and tested on a rheometer. The experimental results show that the maximum shear stress of composite fiber magnetorheological grease increases with increasing fiber mass fraction. A shear magnetorheological damper is designed and manufactured based on composite material, the damper has the advantages of low amounts of magnetorheological materials and low sealing requirements.The damping characteristics of the magnetorheological damper experiment showed that under a current of 1.6 A, the maximum damping force of the magnetorheological grease with a cotton fiber mass fraction of 1.5% can reach 99.5 N, which is 23.8% higher than that of the magnetorheological grease without cotton fiber addition. This indicates that the damper using composite fiber magnetorheological grease has better damping force output.

Taking the centrifugal pumps with a specific rotational speed of 112.4 as the research object, a class of mushroom-like pit microstructure blade is proposed based on the gas-entrapping microtextured surfaces of sea skaters. Numerical simulations of non-stationary cavitation is carried out on the model using CFD simulation software to study the effect of different pit depth ratios of the microstructure on the cavitation properties of centrifugal pump. The finding indicate that the bionic microstructure exerts a negligible influence on the hydraulic performance of centrifugal pump, with a marginal change of head: -1.42%~1.38%. Different depth ratios have a greater effect on the cavitation properties of centrifugal pump, when the depth ratio is 2.5, the best effect of inhibiting cavitation, the volume of vacuole in the incipient stage of cavitation is reduced by 54.75%, and the fracture head is increased by 17.07 m.
