Computerized Hydraulic Component
Analysis for System Design

Course Description

While it may seem like a sub-basic statement; hydraulic systems are composed of hydraulic components. Without functionally good components that are correctly sized it is impossible to fabricate a quality system. Therefore the design and selection of hydraulic components is the cornerstone of the hydraulic technology.

The objective of this 2-day course is to provide a comprehensive understanding of the operation and design as well as the analytical descriptions of hydraulic components. Through this knowledge, the computerized design and selection of hydraulic components can be effectively applied. The concepts presented in this course are prerequisite to successful hydraulic system development.

This course is led by Dr. I. T. Hong who is one of the authors of the course's highly praised text, Hydraulic Component Design and Selection. The authors have thrown away their technical inhibitions and are now able to share material that in the past was considered proprietary information of the authors. They are opening wide the doors of their arsenal of knowledge to the attendees of this course.

Each Computerized Hydraulic Component Analysis for System Design attendee will . . .

Learn the futuristic approach to component modeling necessary for computerized system design.
Explore performance characteristics for selection of practically all hydraulic components.
Investigate with realistic examples of model applications that have been solved and are graphically presented.
Experience a 21st century approach to learning through vivid graphics and the virtual design laboratory.

In addition, attendees will learn . . .

How to assess the performance of various component design configurations through computerized methods
To develop and specify component models for system design and analysis
The basic analytical laws and relationships that describe hydraulic behavior
Innovative modeling techniques for hydraulic components and how to extend them to obtain customized designs
To cut metal with confidence through virtual reality methods involving modeling and performance simulation
To get a hammerlock on the cushioning and structural analysis of hydraulic actuators
In-depth analytical treatment of pump and accumulator design and applications
A refreshingly new approach to traditional hydraulic valve technology
The secrets of cartridge valve technology
The "ins and outs" of selecting all types of hydraulic conduits
A valuable perception of sealing mechanics
