Visualization of Hydraulic Cylinder Dynamics by a Structure Preserving Nondimensionalization

Date of Online Publication: 10 July 2018This paper reveals a new simplicity of nominal hydraulic cylinders whose original representation suffers from the many physical parameters. The 8-dimensional parameter space in the original representation is reduced to the 3-dimensional parameter space in the proposed nondimensional representation preserving the parametric structure. To clarify comprehensive relations between the nonlinear dynamics and the many physical parameters, an advanced direct search approach is suggested. More precisely, we can repeat the fast computations of the nonlinear dynamics and the updates of the only three parameters without verifying any new simulator. The efficient visualization of the numerical solutions presents the best possible result corresponding to the analytical solution.ArticleIEEE-ASME TRANSACTIONS ON MECHATRONICS. 23(5):2196-2206 (2018)journal articl
