Today, fluid power systems, hydraulic and pneumatic, in alliance
with advanced electronics, provide the world with an unprecedented
array of applications and systems from heavy-lifting equipment to
spray painting, injection moulding, motion control and product
assembly. In common with other facets of modern industrial
operation, fluid power systems must be examined with a view to
obtaining:
- the highest product quality;
- optimised efficiency;
- improved safety;
- maximum profitability.
Modelling, Monitoring and Diagnostic Techniques for Fluid Power
Systems covers the background theory of fluid power and indicates
the range of concepts necessary for a modern approach to condition
monitoring and fault diagnosis in a readable an understandable
fashion. The theory is constantly leavened by 15-years-worth of
practical measurements by the author, working in association with
major fluid power companies, and real industrial case studies a"
hot-strip-mill monitoring in conjunction with Corus p.l.c. being
just one example.
The comprehensive reference for its subject, this book gives the
first integrated exposition of the fluid power applications of many
of the techniques it describes: time-encoded signal processing;
artificial neural networks and expert systems among others.
Advantages and limitations of the different paths are presented to
emphasise that the reader should consider the gamut of methods
leading to positive decision-making regarding fault diagnosis. Four
parts combine to produce a thorough and all-embracing whole:
- an introduction to component behaviour;
- a guide to the modelling methods employed for
circuitanalysis;
- methods for doing condition monitoring;
- common faults and breakdowns.
Modelling, Monitoring and Diagnostic Techniques for Fluid Power
Systems tells practicing fluid power engineers all they need to
know about keeping track of the "health" of their equipment,
processes and products. With nearly four hundred references to
provide a good overview of the subject and to stimulate further
research, this reference will also be invaluable to graduate and
senior undergraduate students entering the field.
