O. Geider et al., ACCURATE PREDICTIVE MODEL OF FLUID-DYNAMI CS IN PNEUMATIC ACTUATORS, Comptes rendus de l'Academie des sciences. Serie II. Mecanique, physique, chimie, astronomie, 325(10), 1997, pp. 553-561
A predictive model of a pneumatic actuator is introduced and validated
without any restrictive assumption about the thermal evolution of gas
volumes. Taking the thermal balance into account requires the identif
ication of the equivalent exchange coefficient. Estimated values are f
ound not to be sensitive to the jack extension.
