New technical related web page in Spanish
for Latin American users.
The web page address is:
http://www.techniforum.com |
The main parts of the web page are four
different seminars that are
updated once a month each with a new chapter.
These seminars are
- Mechanical Power Transmission
- Automation and Control
- Computer Systems Design
- Hydraulic Systems
There is also a discussion forum where
all the registered participants can summit questions or opinions
related with any technical issue. Finally, there are other sections
like Technical Info, Tribute,
Glossary of Terms, Links, etc. |

Hydraulic Page from the
Netherlands
This is the HYDRAULIC website, designed by R. van den
Brink.
Every month a subject about hydraulic engineering will be added to
the site.This site will introduce you to Hydraulic Engineering. Interesting,
with great animation. It provide a wonderful introduction to hydraulics.
Mr. van den Brink studied mechanical engineering at the College of Advanced
Technology (title: ing. = ingenieur) and has been working as an engineer and
project leader in mechanical, automotive and hydraulic technology since 1979.
A couple of years ago he specialized in educational technology and at the
moment he is teaching/training hydraulics and technical information technology
for the Ministry of Defence and for a Dutch training company. Besides that he
writes articles and books about Hydraulic and Automotive (Engine) technology.
The links below refer to some information about three books I have written.
The books (we call them Technical Papers; about 50 pages each) are used for
training purposes. These links are in Dutch.

Engineering Information Inc. -- known as Ei -- was created for a
community of engineers wanting to share their own research results and
learn about what others were doing.
That was back in 1884, on the campus of Washington University in St. Louis. Our
task has been to identify, organize and facilitate easy access to the published
engineering literature of the world. Now Ei brings information globally, to
technical professionals, researchers and managers, no matter where it
resides -- and no matter where they reside. |

The Mechanical Engineering Department of Federal University of Santa Catarina (UFSC)
is known as one of the most developed in its area in Brazil. The Department has
several areas, among them: Design, Manufacturing, Precision Machining, Fluid
Dynamics, Acoustics and Vibration.
My area is Design Methodology of Mechanical Systems, and my doctorate thesis
was the development of an Expert System Prototype for Hydraulic Systems. Design
focusing on Concurrent Engineering Aspects. |
SYSTEM DYNAMIC ANALYSISby Cal Jones, deceased
A system math-model diagram uses blocks which represent math-action and are
connected by lines which represent system variables. The system constants are
included in the math-action blocks. The system math-model diagram shows the
dynamic characteristics of the overall system, including pumps, valves, cylinder
or motor, load friction and mass, etc.
Instantaneous values of system variables are placed above and below the
interconnecting lines. The initial values of timestep variables are placed below
the lines and the end values are placed above the lines. The process of doing
the calculations is called "simulation on the model diagram" and the study of
the resulting diagram is called "visual intuitive analysis".
This type of system dynamic analysis began during WWII by system control
engineers. You can compliment your fluid power circuit with a matching model
diagram, for a fuller understanding of the system dynamics. Unfortunately with
Cal's passing the links to his WEB pages are gone
