ME 5329 - Fluid Power Systems


Credits: 3

Develops the fundamentals of a fluid power system design by introducing the basic building blocks such as pumps, motors, hydraulic cylinders, accumulators, multiposition directional valves, and other related components. Studies properties of the common hydraulic fluids to ascertain their influence on the behavior of typical fluid power system. Includes mathematical models of the individual components to aid in the simulation of a hydraulic system for a desired function. Also, introduces commercially available software for system simulation. The 1-hour lab allows students to gain hands-on experience with hydraulic systems.
