Condition monitoring of an axial piston pump utilizing the Kalman filter
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
Condition monitoring of a hydraulic pump is an essential process for maximum operational time and pump life longevity. One method of condition monitoring is to estimate parameters characterized by flow losses. Even in a ...
Inlet metering pump analysis and experimental evaluation with application for flow control
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2017)
Axial piston pumps with variable volumetric displacement are often used to control flow and pressure in hydraulic systems. The displacement control mechanism in these pumps occupies significant space and accounts for ...
Estimation of model states for a hydraulic valve system using an extended Kalman filter
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2017)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Pilot valves are considered as one of most common types of valves in the industry today. They are widely-used because their design is simple, they are ...
Automatic oxygen controller design for premature infants with clinical evaluation
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI--COLUMBIA AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] For premature infants, the peripheral oxygen saturation (SpO2) level has significant effects on their health. Manual adjustment of fraction ...
Design of a simple drive train and control system for an oxygen blend valve for use with premature infants
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
Automating the regulation of the fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO2) in neonatal mechanical ventilation shows great promise of providing better patient outcomes. Historically, controlling the FiO2 valve has required manual ...
Attenuation of low frequency pressure pulsations
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)
In this thesis, the concept of hydraulic pulsating filter is explored and developed. The filter or resonator is designed to attenuate the pulsation that occurs when the hydraulic pump is discharged. Pumps pulsate over a ...
Investigation of the performance of an automatic arterial oxygen controller
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
Premature infants often require respiratory support with a varying concentration of the fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO2) to keep the arterial oxygen saturation (SpO2) within the desired range to avoid both hypoxemia and ...
A method of frequency domain error modeling to predict the probability of stability and performance of dynamic systems with parametric uncertainty
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] In this work a method is developed for modeling frequency domain error in dynamic systems with parametric uncertainty. Within any mass-manufactured ...
New tool design for measuring tool displacement in milling
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)
Monitoring tool displacement during a milling process allows the operator to identify when there is relative movement between the cutting tool and the workpiece. When the relative movement between the cutting tool and the ...
Modeling, simulation, and stability of a hydraulic load-sensing pump system with investigation of a hard nonlinearity in the pump displacement control system
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2014)
Certain types of Load-Sensing (LS) pumps utilize a hydro-mechanical control system designed to regulate the pressure difference, or margin pressure, between the inlet and outlet of a flow control valve. With a constant ...
Kalman filter design for real-time estimation of modal parameters and cutting force coefficients for determining the dynamic stability of high-speed low-radial-immersion milling processes
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2014)
Chatter is a particularly severe and damaging form of tool vibration that can occur in milling processes under certain combinations of spindle speed and axial depth of cut. The ability to predict the onset of chatter in a ...
