In this thesis study, a pump controlled hydraulic control actuation system is investigated and a system is designed by using the performance criteria of the available conventional valve controlled hydraulic control actuator. A prototype actuator and load system is manufactured and tested. In order to understand dynamic behavior of the system, a simulation is performed in MATLAB Simulink® environment. Sub-systems and components of the system are tested to identify their parameters which are not supplied by manufacturer data sheets as well as friction characteristics of the actuator. By conducting open loop and closed loop step response and closed loop frequency response tests, the dynamic performance of the system is examined. Furthermore, to observe performance of the system under operational conditions, an inertia is attached to the system and tests are repeated under inertial load. Then, with an auxiliary electric motor, an external load scenario is applied and performance of the system is evaluated. Real time tests and data acquisition are carried out by using the LabVIEW® software.

Development and control of a single rod electro hydrostatic actuator Çalışkan, Hakan; Balkan, Raif Tuna; Platin, Bülent Emre; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2015) In this thesis a variable speed pump controlled electro hydrostatic drive system for a single rod actuator is developed. The problem of the single rod actuator in hydrostatic applications is the differential flow rate which is formed due to the asymmetric structure of the piston rod assembly. The hydraulic circuit solutions proposed in the literature commonly suffer from undesired pressure oscillations, which are named as system internal instability. This thesis, addresses the stability problem of the pump ...
Design, construction and control of an electrohydraulic load simulator for testing hydraulic drives Akova, Hayrettin Ulaş; Platin, Bülent Emre; Balkan, Raif Tuna; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2014) In this thesis, an electro-hydraulic load simulator is designed, constructed, and controlled in order to carry out the stability and performance tests of newly developed hydraulic drive and control systems. It is an experimental loading system capable of applying the desired test loads onto the actuator of the hydraulic drive system under test in a laboratory environment. The primary aim of this study is to support the research activities related to the development of hydraulic drive and control systems so ...
Design of a compliant mechanism to amplify the stroke of a piezoelectric stack actuator Keskin, Tamer; Özgen, Gökhan Osman; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2013) Main objective of this study is to design a compliant mechanism with high frequency and high mechanical amplification ratio to be used for amplifying the stroke of a piezostack actuator. In this thesis, first of all, related literature is investigated and then alternative conceptual designs are established utilizing the mechanisms found in literature survey. Once best conceptual design is selected, detailed design of this mechanism is done. For detailed design of the compliant mechanism, topology optimizati...
Structural design and experimental verification of a flapper mechanism comprising piezoelectric actuator Temeltürk, İhsan Burak; Şahin, Melin; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2018) In this thesis study, torque motor of conventional two stage servovalves is investigated. Possible improvements for the first stage actuation system of servovalve are determined. It is aimed to design a new actuation system for replacing torque motor actuation system. The new system is met the performance criteria of torque motor on the high bandwidth and fast response characteristics. Amplified Piezo Actuator (APA) is designed with a new flapper mechanism to satisfy first stage of servovalve requirements. ...
Modeling and experimental evaluation of variable speed pump and valve controlled hydraulic servo drives Çalışkan, Hakan; Balkan, Raif Tuna; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2009) In this thesis study, a valveless hydraulic servo system controlled by two pumps is investigated and its performance characteristics are compared with a conventional valve controlled system both experimentally and analytically. The two control techniques are applied on the position control of a single rod linear actuator. In the valve controlled system, the flow rate through the actuator is regulated with a servovalve; whereas in the pump controlled system, two variable speed pumps driven by servomotors reg...
