SIMULATION OF FLUID-POWER CIRCUITS USING ARTIFICIAL NETWORK MODELS PART-2 - CIRCUIT SIMULATION

A variety of fluid power components, modelled by artificial networks, are brought together to form a motor speed control system. The dynamic behaviour of the system is predicted with the support of additional a rtificial networks to define the initial conditions. The effect of cha nging the volume between the pump and control valve is then considered using computer simulation and verified by experiment. A novel feature is the use of the pressure relief valve to determine supply pressure rather than fluid compressibility using the conventional computer simu lation approach.
