Case Study 2
Problem Definition: Furnace door control Design a hydraulic circuit for a furnace door to be opened and closed. Figure 5.8.3 shows the schematic of the furnace and its door that…
Design of Hydraulic Circuit
Problem Definition: Package lifting device For a dispatch station of a LED TV production house, design a package lifting device to lift packages containing 21” to 51” LED TVs from…
Graphical representation of hydraulic and pneumatic elements
The hydraulic and pneumatic elements such as cylinders and valves are connected through pipelines to form a hydraulic or a pneumatic circuit. It is difficult to represent the complex functioning…
Pressure relief valves
The pressure relief valves are used to protect the hydraulic components from excessive pressure. This is one of the most important components of a hydraulic system and is essentially required…
What Is Finite Element Analysis
Finite Element Analysis (FEA) is a type of computer program that uses the finite element method to analyze a material or object and find how applied stresses will affect the material or…
Why Use Rigid Bodies for Transient Dynamics Analysis?
Transient dynamics analysis methods are used to predict the response of structures to dynamic loads. The outputs can include stresses and strains, velocities and accelerations, along with connection and constraint forces,…
Why Use MPC Based Contact for “Bonded” Connections?
Have you ever noticed that there is an option to change your Bonded contact formulation from Pure Penalty to MPC Bonded? Have you ever wondered what this means? Have you ever wondered…
Flow Control Valves
In practice, the speed of actuator is very important in terms of the desired output and needs to be controlled. The speed of actuator can be controlled by regulating the…
Where Does Stress Come From?
Where does stress come from? No, I am not talking about your in-laws deciding move in with you for a few months. I am talking about the stress that you are plotting…
The Six P’s of Finite Element Analysis
(Prior Planning Prevents Particularly Poor Performance) When performing any finite element analysis project it is critical to plan your approach to ensure a success. The most important step is to have clear goals, including…
