This paper addresses the stability problem of pump controlled asymmetric hydraulic actuators and proposes a physical solution for it. The system under consideration utilizes a shuttle valve to compensate for unequal flow rates due to the asymmetry in the actuator. Possible hydraulic circuit configurations resulting from various valve positions are defined on the load pressure versus velocity plane and a generalized linear model of the system is derived. The investigation shows that there exists a critical load pressure region in which any equilibrium point requiring a partially open spool position is unstable during the retraction of the actuator. A particular valve underlap is proposed in order to avoid the instability and a shuttle valve selection guide is presented. Theoretical findings are validated by both numerical simulations and experimental tests. Results show that the undesired pressure oscillations are removed up to certain actuator velocities with the use of an underlapped shuttle valve.

A Control System Architecture for Control of Non-Affine in Control, Open-Loop Unstable Underactuated Systems Marangoz, Alp; Kutay, Ali Türker (2017-07-25) In this paper, a control system architecture for control of non-affine in control, open-loop unstable underactuated system is discussed. Passivization of the unactuated (internal) system dynamics achieved through perturbation of trajectories of the actuated states, which are calculated through adaptive dynamic inversion technique, based on Tikhonov's theorem. Performance of the controller is shown through simulation of two open-loop unstable and locally uncontrollable example problems.
A robust algorithm for configurational-force-driven brittle crack propagation with R-adaptive mesh alignment MIEHE, CHRISTIAN; Gürses, Ercan (2007-10-08) The paper considers a variational formulation of brittle fracture in elastic solids and proposes a numerical implementation by a finite element method. On the theoretical side, we outline a consistent thermodynamic framework for crack propagation in an elastic solid. It is shown that both the elastic equilibrium response as well as the local crack evolution follow in a natural format by exploitation of a global Clausius-Planck inequality in the sense of Coleman's method. Here, the canonical direction of the...
Accurate pressure prediction of a servo-valve controlled hydraulic system KILIÇ, Ergin; Dölen, Melik; Koku, Ahmet Buğra; Çalışkan, Hakan; Balkan, Raif Tuna (2012-10-01) The main goal of this paper is to predict the chamber pressures in hydraulic cylinder of a servo-valve controlled hydraulic system accurately using advanced modeling tools like artificial neural networks. After showing that the black-box modeling approaches are not sufficient for long-term prediction of pressures, a structured neural network model is proposed to capture the pressure dynamics of this inherently non-linear system. The paper shows that the proposed network model could be easily trained to pred...
A New Field-Data-Based EAF Model for Power Quality Studies Göl, Murat; Salor, Ozguel; ALBOYACI, Bora; Mutluer, Bilge; ÇADIRCI, IŞIK; Ermiş, Muammer (2010-05-01) new electric arc furnace (EAF)-specific model based on field measurements of instantaneous furnace voltages and currents has been proposed. This model presents the dynamic behavior of the EAF system, including all parts, i.e., the EAF transformer, the secondary circuit, the electrode movements, and the arc. It consists of a cascade connected variable-resistance and -inductance combination to represent the time variation at the fundamental frequency and a current source in parallel with it to inject the harm...
A Hierarchical Control of Supercapacitor and Microsources in Islanded DC Microgrids Barati, Farhad; Ahmadi, Behzad; Keysan, Ozan (2023-1-01) This paper proposes a hierarchical control approach for SuperCapacitor (SC) energy storage and microsources in islanded DC microgrids. It takes into account microsources' dynamic and steady-state limitations. The proposed approach relies on an architecture presented for the SC's and microsources' interfaces with the DC bus. In the proposed architecture, DC microsources interface with the DC bus through buck converters. Moreover, the SC interfaces with the DC bus through the bi-directional buck converter. Th...
