Description
Summary:The Engineering Design Centre (EDC) in fluid power systems, was established in the School of Mechanical Engineering, University of Bath in 1992 to develop computer-based techniques for fluid power systems design. This paper gives an overview of the research being undertaken at the EDC relating to: system design and performance evaluation using computer simulation; the development of a database for hydraulic components; software tools to minimize noise and vibration; circuit configuration design; and optimization techniques for component selection and sizing.
