- In this study a previously developed co-simulation method that is based on a 1D system model representing the fluid components of a hydraulic machinery, within which structural 3D Finite Element (FE) models can be incorporated for detailed simulation of specific sub-models or complete structural assemblies, is further developed. The fluid system model consists of ordinary differential equation sub-models that are computationally very inexpensive, but still represents the fluid dynamics very well. The co-simulation method has been shown to work very well for a simple model representing a hydraulic driven machinery. A more complex model was set up in this work, in which two cylinders in the hydraulic circuit were evaluated. Such type of models, including both the main piston and control valves, are necessary as they represent the real application to a further extent than the simple model, of only one cylinder. Two models have been developed and evaluated, from the simple rigid body representation of the structural mechanics model, to the more complex model using linear elastic representation. The 3D FE-model facilitates evaluation of displacements, stresses, and strains on a local level of the model. The results can be utilised for fatigue assessment, wear analysis and for predictions of noise radiation.

- Simulation of fluid power systems typically requires models from multiple disciplines.Achieving accurate load dynamics for a system with complex geometry, for example, mayrequire both a 1D model of the hydraulic circuit and a 3D multi-body model. However, mostsimulation tools are limited to a single discipline. A solution to these kinds of problems isco-simulation, where different tools are coupled and simulated together. Co-simulation canprovide increased accuracy, improved modularity and facilitated collaboration between dif-ferent organizations. Unfortunately, tool coupling typically requires tedious and error-pronemanual work. It may also introduce numerical problems. For these reasons, co-simulation isoften avoided as long as possible. These problems have been addressed by the developmentof an open-source framework for asynchronous co-simulation. Simulation tools can be inter-connected through a stand-alone master simulation tool. An extensive range of tools is alsosupported via the Functional Mockup Interface standard. A graphical user interface has beenimplemented in the OpenModelica Connection Editor. System models can be created andedited from both a schematic view and a 3D view. Numerical robustness is enforced by theuse of transmission line modelling. A minimalistic programming interface consisting of onlytwo functions is used. An example model consisting of a hydraulic crane with two arms, twoactuators and a hanging load is used to verify the framework. The composite model consistsof nine multi-body models, one hydraulic system model and a controller. It is shown thatmodels from various simulation tools can be replaced with a minimal amount of user input.

- Interest in the control of variable fluid power pumps/motors has increased in recent years.The actuators used are inefficient and expensive and this reduces the variable units’ usability.This paper introduces displacement control of pumps/motors by means of a rotating valveplate. By changing the angle of the valve plate, the effective use of the stroke is changed. Therotating valve plate is experimentally verified by a modified in-line pump. In the prototype,the valve plate is controlled with a worm gear connected to an electric motor. The resultsshow potential for this kind of displacement control. However, the rotating valve plate createspressure pulsations at part-displacement due to the commutation being performed at highpiston speeds. If the piston speed and hence the flow from each piston is low, the pressurepulsation is acceptable.

- The Hydraulic Infinite Linear Actuator, HILA, has been presented in previous publications. The novel actuator consists of one, two or more double-acting cylinders witha common piston rod and hydraulically detachable pistons. In the basic gait, one cylinderalternatingly engages and drives the load while the other retracts. The HILA thus works in akind of rope-climbing motion. The concept also allows other gaits, i.e. patterns of motion.This contribution focuses on the ballistic gait, a pattern of motion where one cylinder engagesto give the load a push. The load then carries on with its motion by inertia, cylinders disen-gaged. The actuator thus realizes hydro-mechanical pulse-frequency modulation (PFM).This gait is energy efficient and able to recuperate energy.

- Modelling and Simulation is extensively used for aircraft vehicle system development at Saab Aeronautics in Linköping, Sweden. There is an increased desire to simulate interacting sub-systems together in order to reveal, and get an understanding of, the present cross-coupling effects early on in the development cycle of aircraft vehicle systems. The co-simulation methods implemented at Saab require a significant amount of manual effort, resulting in scarcely updated simulation models, and challenges associated with simulation model scalability, etc. The Functional Mock-up Interface (FMI) standard is identified as a possible enabler for efficient and standardized export and co-simulation of simulation models developed in a wide variety of tools. However, the ability to export industrially relevant models in a standardized way is merely the first step in simulating the targeted coupled sub-systems. Selecting a platform for efficient simulation of the system under investigation is the next step. Here, a strategy for adapting coupled Modelica models of aircraft vehicle systems to TLM-based simulation is presented. An industry-grade application example is developed, implementing this strategy, to be used for preliminary investigation and evaluation of a cosimulation framework supporting the Transmission Line element Method (TLM). This application example comprises a prototype of a small-scale aircraft vehicle systems simulator. Examples of aircraft vehicle systems are environmental control systems, fuel systems, and hydraulic systems. The tightly coupled models included in the application example are developed in Dymola, OpenModelica, and Matlab/Simulink. The application example is implemented in the commercial modelling tool Dymola to provide a reference for a TLM-based master simulation tool, supporting both FMI and TLM. The TLM-based master simulation tool TLMSimulator is investigated in terms of model import according to the FMI standard with respect to a specified set of industrial needs and requirements.

- Future hydraulic actuation systems can be significantly improved by utilisation of a new type of hydraulic linear actuator technology. By enabling multiple actuating elements, integrated in a compact and lightweight single unit controlled by ordinary directional valves it is possible to achieve a high position accuracy. This is a new way to generate and distribute mechanical linear movement and force by using hydraulic actuators in a cost effective way, in less responsive closed loop systems. This is a variant on the Hydraulic Infinite Linear Actuator, HILA, invention. The technology also represents a new sort of digital hydraulics. The presented technology provides typical hydraulic actuator characteristics with high system pressure and potentially no external oil leakage. It is based on a well-known hydraulic clamping element technology used in a new way, where the piston and the piston rod can quickly be coupled and uncoupled by means of the clamping element in a failsafe way by using well defined incremental steps. HILA in its simplest usage, provides new features to hydraulic cylinders such as providing very long strokes, high rod speed, and small chamber volumes which means high stiffness and low capacitance. The aim of this study is to present a fundamentally new way of using hydraulic actuators. The invention is called the Hydraulic Infinite Linear Actuator with Multiple Rods, HILA MR. The study presents the idea, principles and feasible combinations of the technology. Also applications in the aircraft and robotic field will be presented.

- The need for efficient propulsion in heavy vehicles has led to an increased interest in hybrid solutions. Hydraulic hybrids rely on variable hydraulic pumps/motors to continuously convert between hydraulic and mechanical power. This process is carried out via the implementation of secondary control which, in turn, is dependent on a fast displacement controller response. This paper reports on a study of a prototype axial piston pump of the in-line type, in which the displacement is measured with a sensor and controlled using a software-based controller. A pole placement control approach is used, in which a simple model of the pump is used to parametrise the controller using desired resonance and damping of the closed loop controller as input. The controller’s performance is tested in simulations and hardware tests on the prototype unit. The results show that the pole placement approach combined with a lead-compensator controller architecture is flexible, easy to implement and is able to deliver a fast response with high damping. The results will in the future be used in further research on full-vehicle control of heavy hydraulic hybrids.
