More Lift than Drag

www.design-engineering.com

A

mid the challenges faced by Canada’s manufacturing sector, aerospace has remained a near consistent source of optimism. According to the Aerospace Industries Association of Canada, Canada’s aerospace sector generates more than $23 billion in annual revenue, more than 80,000 jobs and exports 82 percent of its output.

Although aerospace is most commonly associated with Quebec and Ontario, other provinces are keen to bolster the industry. Most recently, British Columbia moved to invest in the sector. Already a $1.2-billion industry in B.C., aerospace will receive provincial investment of $5 million over the next five years to support a unified aerospace cluster and attract global aerospace and defence contractors.

It’s a smart move, not only for B.C., but for Canada overall to focus heavily on aerospace as global growth projections are staggering. According to the Federal Aviation Administration’s (FAA) annual forecast, commercial air travel is expected to grow by 76 percent over the next 20 years. Much of that growth will be focused in the small regional jet sector, where companies like Bombardier excel. Over the next 20 years, estimates put the demand for 100- to 149-seat jets in excess of 19,000 aircraft with a value of $250 billion.

While the forecasts are nearly universally uplifting, being the transport industry’s fastest growing sector does come with a potential downside. Despite trends such as Boeing’s move to light-weight composites and Pratt & Whitney’s fuel-efficient PurePower engines, emission increases due to air travel’s growth in the coming decades threaten to outstrip any reductions in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.

According to the Advisory Council for Aeronautics Research in Europe, global civil aviation emitted more than 660 million tonnes of CO2 in 2008, representing approximately 2 percent of man-made CO2 emissions. That number doesn’t include other GHGs like nitrogen oxides and the contrails that form cirrus clouds, and therefore impact global warming. According to FAA projections, emissions from aerospace will more than triple by 2050 if no technological improvements are made.

Of course, the industry has long recognized the issue and has focused research in a two-pronged approach. On the efficiency side, aerospace engineers like Ryerson University’s Dr. Jeff Xi, whose work is profiled in this issue, are re-examining the fundamentals of aerospace design by developing a variable geometry wing that morphs its shape to maximize lift and reduce drag during each flight phase. It may seem radical, but approaches like Dr. Xi’s are seen by NASA as one of the most effective ways to reach the agency’s stated goal of cutting aircraft emissions by 50 percent over the next 25 years.

The U.S. space agency is also partnering with Canada on the other major field of study: Alternative jet fuels. NASA recently announced it will conduct flight tests with the National Research Council (NRC) to study emissions and contrail formation from new aviation biofuel blends. This follows on NRC flight tests conducted in 2013 that showed drop-in alternative fuels reduced emissions of black carbon, sulfates and organics by as much as 50 percent.

As a heavily regulated and scrutinized industry, aerospace companies may be slow to adopt wholesale changes like these. But with the inevitability of sharply rising fuel prices, coupled with growing global warming anxiety, economic headwinds are likely to produce more lift than drag.

Siemens’ new $100 million VC fund backs Canadian 3D rendering start-up

S

iemens’ industry sector and venture capital unit announced the launch of a new US$100 million Industry of the Future venture capital fund. According to the company, the new fund targets young start-ups judged to be either disruptive to existing industrial markets or likely to pioneer new ones.

To date, the fund has invested in two companies. One is Boston-based CounterTack, which develops next generation cyber security software.

The other is Montreal-based Lagoa, which provides a cloud-based 3D rendering and visualization service. Similar to Autodesk 360 Rendering, Lagoa MultiOptics renderer produces photo-realistic images through path tracing—a more sophisticated form of ray tracing that includes visual effects like soft shadows, depth of field and motion blur by default. In addition, the service allows scenes to be shared, edited and rendered by design collaborators. www.siemens.ca www.lagoa.com

Canadian-made F-35 tail assembly takes first flight Magellan Aerospace announced that its first horizontal tail assembly installed on an F-35A Lightning II aircraft was successfully flown for the first time in February.

Autodesk Fusion 360 Documentation goes to beta To complete its total design-to-manufacture chain of cloud-enabled engineering software, Autodesk recently opened the final missing component, mechanical drawing creation, to beta testing.

Called Fusion 360 Documentation, the application creates a standard 4-view set from Fusion 360 models, including one base view and three projected views (2 orthographic and 1 isometric).

Users can then change the orientation, position and scale of the base and dependent views using the standard Autodesk

“view cube”, or by repositioning the base view, before committing geometry to the sheet.

Users can then add dimensions, notes and labels as well as additional views. Once created, the drawing stays associative and updates as revisions are made to the Fusion 360 model.

Still, Fusion 360 Documentation’s “Getting Started Guide” points out that the application is still in the Beta stage, but is in constant development with frequent updates. To sign up for the Documentation beta, check out the Fusion 360 web site. http://fusion360.autodesk.com

SOLIDWORKS Mechanical Conceptual Dassault Systemes’ foray into the 3D direct editing, motion-study space may suggest the brand’s future direction.

By Ralph Grabowski

study stuff I’ve seen so far, which seems like it’s much better than the approach you have to take with legacy-code SolidWorks. hen Dassault Systemes held its annual SolidWorks World I like the heads-up user interface, and the non-reliance on a convention last January, it announced that a new Solid- Windows user interface.”

Works Mechanical Conceptual package would finally ship in These changes came about two years ago when Dassault decided April. In essence, the name describes what it does: Modeling of on a new course and a new look for all its software (about 240 conceptual designs of things that move, like machinery and packages in all); SolidWorks Conceptual software follows the mechanisms, in 2D and 3D. same path as the others. In a press release about SWMC, Dassault emphasized its new vision: “In the Age of Experience, the world of design has changed: It is more social, more conceptual, and collaboration is critical.”

This vision is quite different from how engineers are used to working; nevertheless, SWMC presents a modeling environment based on Dassault’s aim for its software having social, conceptual, connected and instinctive elements.

Social: All designers on a project are connected to each other through a live chat window. Comments are posted to private communities; you, other users, and your clients can provide feedback on the design through Dassault’s SwYm (See What You Mean) forum system Figure 1: SolidWorks Mechanical Conceptual software models motion in 2D and 3D. running in a supported Web browser, without need for an SWMC license.

In the mid-1990s, when it was first released, SolidWorks was Conceptual: SWMC is arranged to let you develop many revolutionary and today remains the most popular MCAD designs rapidly through the use of direct modeling; you are not system. But it is aging, and so Dassault spent seven years figur- forced to define parameters or add constraints, as you do in ing out how to modernize it. SolidWorks Mechanical Concep- SolidWorks.

The biggest changes from SolidWorks Connected: SWMC is connected to the Enovia V6 database, are that this new software allows direct modeling and editing, which is housed on the cloud, either on- or off-premise. Onand that part files do not reside on your computer. premise hosting is promised for a future release; initially, DasThe idea behind SWMC is that you use it to rapidly and sault will host your data on its own servers.

Figure 2: SWMC’s user interface includes a live chat window, at right.

Instinctive: SWMC’s “Single Modeling Environment” handles the entire design process, from layout sketches to 3D geometry (parts and assemblies) through the use of history, parametrics and direct editing. SWMC lets you directly edit parts (SolidWorks can’t do this), yet maintains design intent like a history-based model.

Once the model is sufficiently developed, you can run motion simulation to ensure the assembly works correctly and that parts don’t crash into one another.

Concerns About SWMC Dassault is in a bind. It wants to keep its massive, two-million SolidWorks customer base happy, yet it also wants to transition them its incompatible 3Dexperience platform. In several areas, the result will be a disconnect for SolidWorks users: Incompatible: Despite the name, SolidWorks Mechanical Conceptual does not work with SolidWorks. You cannot take a motion-optimized, parameterized model that you carefully constructed in SWMC and then pop it into SolidWorks to quickly complete the design. Instead, SWMC exports only dumb geometry to SolidWorks through 3DXML, Dassault’s lightweight exchange format that’s similar to JT from Siemens and DWF from Autodesk. The loss of design intelligence means you have to March/April | 2014

14-17-DES.indd 16

laboriously set up the model’s parameters a second time in SolidWorks. Dassault won’t have a direct SolidWorks translator ready for SWMC’s launch, and when the translator does ship, it is expected to cost extra.

There are reasons why SWMC is as incompatible with SolidWorks as it is with Pro/E or NX. One reason is that it uses Dassault’s Enovia database for storing models, which is not like a traditional file format. Instead, Enovia stores design data as fields and records in a massive database, kind of in the way that Visio stores graphical elements in spreadsheet-like files.

Whether it’s V6 or Visio, the result is that translators are very difficult to write.

The other reason is that the two programs use different modeling kernels. SolidWorks has always licensed Parasolid from Siemens PLM (and will continue to do so in the future), while SWMC employs Dassault’s own CGM (convergence geometric modeler), on which CATIA is based.

Costly: SWMC is going to be expensive, no question about it. It is priced at $2,988 per user, per year, and is priced even higher outside the U.S. In comparison, the base version of SolidWorks is $3,995, and you pay that once. Now, Dassault has been advertising the SWMC price as “just $249 per month” but this is misleading, because you www.design-engineering.com

14-04-14 11:30 AM

CADReport 17

cannot pay for just one month; you pay for 12 and then pay again the following year. In addition, the license is tied to a named user, so no floating licenses in your office.

At this early stage, it is not clear if free 30-day trials will be available. Dassault has not mentioned them, but the speculation is there will be none because SWMC uses Dassault’s servers to process data, which is a cost to them.

Unfamiliar: The user interface of SWMC is different from SolidWorks, even though Dassault claims in its press release that it has a “SolidWorks-familiar, easy-touse interface.” However, Figures 1 and 2 show that, to the contrary, SWMC follows the new UI guidelines that Dassault is applying to all its V6 software.

SMWC is not the first attempt by Dassault to befriend SolidWorks users through Envoia V6. The original was n!fuze (aka SolidWorks Product Data Sharing, aka SolidWorks Connect), but it quickly bombed when users couldn’t figure out why they should pay just to share files and comments with other.

The Competitors’ Approach Dassault’s primary competitors are approaching the problem of modernizing their aging MCAD systems in ways that are similar and different.

Autodesk’s strategy is most similar to Dassault’s. It’s leaving the older Inventor in place, along with its many add-ons. The modern replacement, Fusion, began as a direct modeling complement to AutoCAD and Inventor. Then, last year, Autodesk repurposed Fusion as “cloud-assisted” MCAD software.

Like SWMC, Fusion has its own file format, and so must translate drawings to AutoCAD and Inventor. Autodesk aims to run all its software on the cloud, as identified by the 360 suffix.

PTC invented the original parametric MCAD program, Pro/Engineer, and then a few years ago rewrote it as a new MCAD platform under the name of Creo. Once users purchase the base version of Creo, they can add compatible add-ons, such as www.design-engineering.com

14-17-DES.indd 17

for direct modeling or FEA. When it comes to exchanging drawings, there is no loss of data, because Creo and all modules employ a universal file format. In contrast to Dassault and Autodesk, PTC has shown little interest in putting CAD on the cloud.

Siemens PLM Software is keeping its two MCAD programs, NX and Solid Edge, as they are. But, a number of years ago, the company integrated direct modeling into them under the name of Synchronous Technology. Because SynchTech is integrated into the CAD software, there are no data translation problems. Siemens has stated it will not put CAD on the cloud.

So, it appears that the MCAD vendors are splitting into two disparate camps. One is writing new, incompatible software while betting on the future of the cloud; the other camp is maintaining a single file format, and is barely interested in the cloud.

Dassault is firmly in the first camp, and SWMC is only the first of a series of vertical programs to compliment SolidWorks. Next in the series is SolidWorks Industrial Conceptual for conceptual industrial design, such as the outsides of toasters and snowmobiles. It will use the excellent surfacing capabilities of CATIA and is expected to enter post-beta customer testing (the “Lighthouse” program) this summer.

Engineers are, by nature, conservative, due to the awesome responsibility they carry in their design work. Back when I was an engineer, I would explain to friends that “when a doctor screws up, he can only kill one patient at a time; when we engineers make mistakes, we can kill hundreds simultaneously.” And so we don’t accept anything new just because of its promises; new technology has to prove it is safe through accurate analyses, data integrity and longevity, and correctly-made drawings.

The experience with n!fuze is not good news for Dassault and its hope of weaning SolidWorks users off SolidWorks. Combined with the correctly cautious nature of engineers, it will be interesting to watch whether the all-new SMWC is able to gain traction.

Sky DRIVING

The Terrafugia street-legal airplane’s development relies on Omnify PLM to handle its unique regulatory requirements.

D

eveloping a product as complex as a car or airplane is challenging enough on it’s own. Either requires precision engineering, elegant design and rigourous testing, not to mention tight adherence to an obstacle course of regulatory requirements.

Boston-based Terrafugia is looking to sell both classes of vehicles in one: The Transition Roadable Aircraft, a two-seat Light Sport Airplane that can take off and land at any of the more than 5,000 public-use airport around the country. When it does land though, it can fold its wings in about a minute, drive at highway speeds on any surface road and park in a single car garage.

But before Terrafugia can bring the Transition to market, the company must show that its flying car is in compliance with the FAA’s Light Sport Aircraft (LSA) standards as well as the National Highway Safety Administration’s (NHTSA’s) Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards for Multi-Purpose Passenger Vehicles.

As part of that process, all manufacturers of LSA are required to maintain complete “Production Documentation,” including parts lists/Bill of Materials (BOMs). When new revisions of the standards become accepted by the FAA, old production vehicles still need to demonstrate line item compliance to the standards in effect when they were shipped.

Initially, Terrafugia was managing their product information in a paper-based manner with automotive and aviation specifications contained in large manuals and BOMs tracked in Excel spreadsheets without any association to each other. The company needed to track this detailed and dynamic data in a more controlled and efficient manner to ensure adherence to the LSA requirements.

“We consider it a best practice to have a digital BOM under change control,” stated Douglas Quattrochi, vice president of operations for Terrafugia. “A Product Lifecycle Management tool was therefore a very natural need for us.”

Terrafugia set out to find a PLM solution that could meet their needs for product information management, particularly BOM and change management capabilities, at the right price. The company evaluated three vendors and found that the Empower PLM solution from Omnify Software was the perfect fit.

“As a small company with very limited resources, we needed March/April | 2014

18-19-DES.indd 18

to make sure that the PLM solution we purchased was intuitive, immediately configurable to our needs, and an excellent value,” said Quattrochi. “We found all of this with Omnify Empower PLM.” Terrafugia’s product definition team found the Empower PLM interface to be straightforward, aesthetically pleasing and easy to navigate. “We were able to configure the software to our needs based on the recommendations we received during our training, and we found a licensing solution that could be tailored to our budget and timeframe,” added Quattrochi.

The BOM and revision management capabilities of Empower PLM allowed Terrafugia to take managing parts list information one step further. The company now tracks old and new production vehicle information electronically and with associations in Empower PLM. This facilitates compliance with the LSA requirements.

“We created a BOM for the current version of the LSA standards for new vehicles and are also able to track past revisions of vehicles pointing to past revisions of the standards,” Quattrochi says. “We use associations and documents to create a bi-directional cross reference between requirements and parts.”

The BOM Attribute feature of Empower PLM also helps to track the weight of each part to determine the weight of the entire vehicle/aircraft — a critical aspect of aircraft development. The BOM Attribute field is user defined and can help track important notes such as component weight. All Terrafugia vehicles are custom ordered, therefore each build is a variant of a Parent BOM. The variant BOM lists all customer configured items.

“We use BOM Attributes to store the weight of each component, giving us the ability to know exactly what each aircraft weighs,” Quattrochi says. “The ability to leverage this field gives us greater insight into the BOM and better design control.”

The Transition is still in pre-production. “While we can’t make productivity comparisons, it’s safe to assume that we simply couldn’t have produced our prototype Bill of Materials with the tools we had before,” Quattrochi says.

Rate of CLIMB Blue skies ahead for Canadian aerospace

By Jim Anderton

W

ith 2014 shaping up to be a year of modest, but unmistakably forward progress in the recovery, Canadian firms serving the aerospace and defense industries face mixed signals from the sector. Civilian aerospace is strong and is expected to stay that way for years. On the defence procurement side, however, the F-35 saga continues with costs still unclear. The federal government is threatening to reset the CF-18 replacement project to the beginning and Sea King replacement rescue helicopters are delayed.

Civilian Aero Looking Up Civilian aerospace is perhaps the most metalworking friendly of industrial sectors. While composites are making headway in fuselage and wig sections, new light alloys are pushing back with excellent strength and light weight, ensuring an excellent future for the sector. The recession deferred many aircraft replacements, and with travel increasing and oil prices hovering at approximately US$100 per barrel, airlines need new equipment.

Fuel accounts for over half of airlines’ operating expenses, and growth in margins and market share requires ever lower seat-mile costs. Lowering those costs can be achieved in two ways: Bigger airplanes, more fuel-efficient airplanes or ideally both.

For the first time, 2014 will see widespread use of both the March/April | 2014

20-23-DES.indd 20

super jumbo Airbus A380 and the Boeing 787 Dreamliner. While both are significant technological achievements, they also represent a multibillion-dollar gamble on the future of global air transportation. The A380 is designed to work with the current hub-and-spoke system of smaller aircraft feeding passenger volume into large airports where large, heavy aircraft handle longdistance transoceanic and transcontinental routes. The 787 and smaller jets from Boeing, Bombardier, Embraer and others are significantly smaller and are ideal for a model of multiple pointto-point routes at both short and long ranges.

Boeing appears to be hedging its bets with larger versions of the Dreamliner, but, in the short term, other factors such as international aviation regulation and air traffic control capacity might decide the issue in favour of the status quo. For the Canadian industry, it’s an important issue. Brazil’s Embraer and Canada’s Bombardier are perfectly positioned to satisfy a spike in demand for small, efficient airliners with speed and altitude performance similar to the big jets.

The key is the 70-to-140 passenger aircraft segment which is predicted to be the economic “sweet spot” for operators serving growing middle-sized cities in North America, Europe and Asia.

Both currently serve the hub-and-spoke model well, but with smaller aircraft and low margin regional carriers operating them, reducing seat mile costs with Boeing or Airbus $200 million aircraft isn’t an option. www.design-engineering.com

14-04-14 11:34 AM

CoverStory 21 If the point-to-point model takes over, however, those same regionals may serve lucrative North American routes driving demand for more, smaller fuel-efficient jets. Embraer predicts that 40 percent of global economic growth through 2031 will be located in small and midsize cities globally. Overall, the firm foresees a 5 percent year-over-year growth in revenue passengerkilometers over the next 20 years requiring just under 33,000 new aircraft with a total market value of US $3.6 trillion. It’s a big planet, and we’ll need thousands of Tier 1, 2 and 3 suppliers to meet the demand.

Will composites take over the airframe industry? While Boeing’s 787 has pioneered carbon composites for large airframe construction, the jury is still out on the long-term viability of the technology. The A350 series, Airbus’ primary competitor to the 787, uses aluminum-lithium alloys for major structures; fuel efficiency is claimed to match or exceed Dreamliner performance with lower technical risk. Alcoa recently signed a US$110 million agreement to supply the alloy as well as large titanium forgings from a large press designed to serve major aero component needs such as wing box forgings.

Reparability is key for airframes expected to serve for 40 or more years in passenger and freight service. Aluminum structures are relatively easy to repair and while major composite

structures have been cycled to at least double their advertised fatigue life, fixing the inevitable loading ramp or hangar mishap will test Boeing’s plastic airframe philosophy.

Bombardier, Embraer Against the Heavyweights For the home team, Bombardier is winning a significant share of the global market. At the 2013 Dubai airshow, the firm announced orders and commitments for up to 38 aircraft with a value of just over US$2 billion. Of that, 20 Q400 turboprops were signed as were a letter of intent from Iraqi Airways for 16 CS 300 jets.

The C-Series is crucial to Bombardier and after a slow start, orders and commitments currently stand at 419 units. Bombardier remains strong in the regional jet market signing an agreement with options for up to 70 CRJ900 NextGen Regional Jets for American Airlines, and recently secured letters of intent for 30 more Q400s for a Chinese customer.

Bombardier’s direct competitor, Embraer, isn’t standing still.

The firm recently announced an order for 60 E175 jets from American Airlines with options for another 90 aircraft. The stated value is US$2.5 billion, although the actual price paid by American wasn’t disclosed; for large orders, pricing usually carries a significant discount.

22 CoverStory Both the Bombardier and Embraer aircraft represent more than just another small jet for small markets. Bombardier estimates the market for the 100-to149-seat category to be more than 19,000 aircraft, which will generate more than US$250 billion in revenue over the next 20 years.

Bombardier expects to be able to capture up to half of this market with the C Series. It’s an ambitious target, as the category includes both heavyweights Boeing and Airbus, with major airlines heavily invested in their equipment.

A major factor in the aircraft, but especially for the fast growing discount airline segment, is cockpit commonality. Single-type fleets like Southwest and WestJet (both of whom operate advanced versions of the Boeing 737) realize significant savings in training and maintenance costs. Airbus offers similar savings to customers like Air Canada who operate A3XX series jets. Bombardier expects to crack those markets with a promised 15 to 20 percent lower seat-mile costs than competitors, although all the players are increasing efficiency concurrently.

Power Plants Get Lean The vast majority of new airframes will carry two engines and, on the power plant side, it’s also about efficiency. The Boeing Dreamliner, for example, is 20 percent more fuel efficient than the 767 it replaces with approximately 40 percent of improvement coming from its Rolls-Royce Trent 1000 or General Electric GEnx engines. To achieve this efficiency, more of the inlet airflow is conducted around the engine core using a very large fan.

This very high “bypass ratio” design results in quieter engines and fan blades with complex contours to manage the much higher airflow and higher fan tip speeds.

Additional fuel is saved by eliminating the traditional enginesupplied bleed air for deicing and cabin pressurization, as these functions are handled electrically in the 787. Pressure for greater efficiency is no less intense for smaller engines. General Electric’s current NG 34 turbofan and CPX turboprop technology development programs are targeting a 15 percent lower fuel burn through improved engine aerodynamics, higher pressure ratio compressors and advanced materials. In July, the firm opened a new global robotics automation and instrumentation R&D center in Bromont, Québec.

Pratt and Whitney, the Hartford, Connecticut-based major competitor to GE in this market, is the sole supplier of its new PurePower 1500G geared turbofan for the Bombardier C-Series and will assemble the engine in Québec. Overall, more expensive refractory metals forged and profiled into more complex shapes will shape the engine supplier market in 2014 and beyond, March/April | 2014

20-23-DES.indd 22

while composites will gain in nacelle and pylon applications.

For civilian and defence projects however, the high financial and technical risk of new aircraft development means considerable investment from government and suppliers, with the obvious motive to anchor jobs in domestic markets. In the case of China’s Shenyang, which is developing its own small airliner, technology transfer may be an additional motive. The result for Bombardier is a major portion of the work occurring outside Canada.

For Quebec, the investment keeps the Montreal aerospace hub vibrant, but at the federal level, recent trade liberalization negotiations by Prime Minister Harper and the political need to secure enough F-35 work to offset the huge program cost mean little chance of a “buy Canadian” requirement for any major defence program for the foreseeable future.

This leaves Canadian companies chasing contracts with major contractors on their own to find work on programs that, like the F-35 and C-Series, can play suppliers on different continents against each other to keep downward pressure on pricing.

On the C-Series, for example, Aviation Week and Space Technology reported last year that the Shenyang fuselage component deal was designed, in part at least, to keep Western supplier prices under control at a time when Bombardier’s cash burn is substantial until major deliveries of the C-Series kick-in come 2015. Bombardier denies the AW&ST analysis, but the overall message is clear: Compete with low–wage suppliers in Asia and elsewhere to win the business.

The upside for Canadian companies is that demand from Embraer, Boeing and Airbus gives the sector enough of a potential customer base to justify investment in state-of-the-art domestic engineering and production capacity.

Designed by Dr. Jeff Xi and his Ryerson University research colleagues, this variable geometry wing prototype features pneumatic actuators in place of spars to allow the wing to dynamically morph, in flight, to maximize efficiency during each flight phase.

Morphing

WING

Canadian variable geometry wing design promises significant lift in aircraft fuel efficiency.

March/April | 2014

30-31-DES.indd 30

ince the introduction of ailerons and other control surfaces, the rigid and static construction of aircraft wings has served as a given in aerospace design. But for nearly a century, engineers have known that a one-shape-fits-all approach to wing design isn’t the most efficient way to keep the fuselage and its contents in the air.

For example, a wing geometry that best promotes lift for take-off and landing at slower speeds loses its efficiency as the plane transitions to level flight.

In the same vein, a wing designed for cruising speeds requires huge amounts of power to generate sufficient lift during take-off and ascent.

Over the years, many attempts have been made to create a wing that dynamically morphs to suit the various phases of flight. Fighter jets like the F-111, F-14, MiG 23 and others, for example, feature a variable-sweep wing (i.e. “swing wing”) that jut out at nearly a 90-degree angle during take-off but sweep back toward the tail during flight to reduce drag. Other concepts have included changing the wings’ angle of attack (e.g. the F-8 Crusader) or twisting the wing down its long axis, similar to the Wright Brother’s Flyer or the experimental X-53 Active Aeroelastic Wing.

As yet, variable geometry approaches like these haven’t been applied to commercial aircraft. But according to engineering professor, Dr. Fengfeng “Jeff” Xi, at Ryerson University’s department of Aerospace Engineering, doing so could one day reduce the amount of fuel large passenger jets consume during routine flights.

“When you fly a plane, you have take-off, climb, cruise, decent and landing,” Dr. Xi explains. “These are all different aerodynamically speaking, and if you translated those phases into optimal wing shapes, the geometries would all look radically different. Right now, airplanes use high lift devices such as flaps to produce more lift in a climb, for example, but that’s not optimal because you are using a lot of energy to produce it. What you want is to have the overall wing geometry change.”

Working in partnership with Bombardier and with backing from the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC), Dr. Xi and his research colleagues are developing a method for morphing wing geometry that goes well beyond previous methods.

Most strikingly, Xi’s design would do away with traditional control surfaces like flaps and ailerons.

In addition, his approach isn’t limited to morphing only one wing parameter (e.g. span, sweep, angle of attack, etc.). Instead, his concept would allow www.design-engineering.com

14-04-14 11:35 AM

CanadianInnovator the wing to potentially morph all parameters, in flight, to attain an optimized target shape.

For example, during take-off or ascent, a variable geometry wing would extend to its full span, increase angle of attack or progressively curl the wing upward, from root to tip, to maximize lift. After reaching level cruising flight, the wings might then transform by reducing the span and sweeping backwards to reduce drag.

“Of course, if you want change the shape, you can’t build a continuous wing,” Xi says. “So what you do is design the wing in segments or what we call, a variable geometry truss. In a traditional design, the wing box is composed of spars with ribs at a fixed distance from each other. In our design, there are linear actuators between the ribs.”

Proportionally engaging these individual actuators—each wing segment has one actuator for leading edge, one for trailing edge, and two for respective diagonals—allows the overall structure to morph to the optimal shape.

“We’ve also developed a technology so that when these structures move, they remain rigid to withstand all the loads,” he says. “So we have added four passive bars that are lockable, two in place of the leading edge spar and two in place of the trailing edge spar.

During the transformation, some of the passive bars would be released and others locked to maintain rigidity.”

So far, Xi says his team—including Dr. Paul Walsh and two

31

Ph.D. students Daniel Finistauri and Amin Moosavian—has pinpointed the various optimal wing shapes with 3D printed models tested in a wind tunnel and built a two-module variable geometry truss system to make sure it can withstand the loads that would be encountered during the in-flight transformations.

The next step is developing a flexible yet durable material to skin the morphing wing structure and eventually putting the design to a limited real-world test.

“The idea to have the system be completely computer controlled,” he says. “But practically speaking, we won’t apply the technology to the whole wing initially. What we are doing with Bombardier now is trying it on a winglet. They want to try it out locally first.”

As yet, Xi says there are no hard numbers to quantify how much effect a variable geometry wing would have on efficiency, and therefore, fuel economy. However, he estimates it could reduce drag by approximately 3 percent. That may seem small, but improving the efficiency of the hundreds of flights taking place each day could add up to a significant reduction in CO2 emissions.

“The push is to help ‘green’ aviation. If you can achieve the optimal aerodynamic performance, then you can maximize lift and reduce drag and fuel consumption,” Xi says. “The fact is, airplane design hasn’t seen a drastic change since almost its inception, so a morphing wing could represent a paradigm shift in future aircraft.”

FluidPower: News

Festo BionicKangaroo gets a jump on Hannover Messe

A

s is its tradition, international automation giant Festo, through the company’s Bionic Learning Network, has revealed the latest of its nature-inspired robots, the BionicKangaroo. As in previous years, the unveiling was in anticipation of the company’s appearance at the massive Hannover Messe industrial expo held annually in Hannover, Germany in April.

Unlike the SmartBird or last year’s impressive BionicOpter, which highlighted the high-speed coordinated precision of the company’s electric motor technology, this year’s creation depends as much on Festo’s pneumatic components for its characteristic leaps. The BionicKangaroo is also decidedly earth-bound; in fact, replicating the efficient motion of a kangaroo depends on that.

The reason is that, in the wild, kangaroos are notable for an evolutionary adaptation that allows them to hop progressively faster and higher but without consuming much more energy. The principle mechanism behind this is their exceptionally long legs and elastic Achilles tendon. As the kangaroo lands, the tendon elastically stores the kinetic energy of its previous leap. That energy is then released to propel the next jump, thereby minimizing input from the animal’s thigh muscles.

Similarly, Festo’s BionicKangaroo uses what the company refers to as “an elastic spring made of rubber,”—strung from the robot’s foot to its knee-joint—that cushions the impact and recaptures the kangaroo’s momentum as it lands.

However, what amounts to a rubber band alone isn’t enough to create the animal’s stable kinematic motion. In place of leg muscles, the robot incorporates two of the company’s DSNUP 20 pneumatic cylinders connected to the lower legs. Using either a small on-board compressor or high-pressure storage device, the cylinders pre-tension the rubber tendons while servomotors at the hip joint shift the robot’s center of gravity forward.

When the BionicKangaroo reaches the optimal angle to jump forward, two solenoid valves release the tension. While in the air, during the leap phase, the servomotors in the hips thrust the legs forward to help propel the robot and properly position its feet for the landing.

March/April | 2014

34-37FP-DES.indd 34

Of course, generating a powerful leap is only a small part of the overall equation. That forward momentum needs to be controlled to make sure the robot stays balanced in the air. As in nature, the BionicKangaroo’s tail helps stabilize the robot in flight.

Guided by heading and potentiometer sensors in the torso, a servomotor in the tail provides the necessary counter-acting motion to prevent the robot from flipping too far forward or back in air. The tail also acts as a third point of contact to keep the robot upright while standing still.

In addition to forward leaps, the BionicKangaroo can also turn left or right on the ground. The servos attached between the robot’s hip and thigh allow each leg to be actuated individually. A small rechargeable lithium polymer battery supplies power for all the robot’s systems.

To synchronize the robot’s coordinated motion, the BionicKangaroo incorporates one of the company’s CECC control systems. In all phases of the jump cycle, the small hybrid controller processes signals from the robot’s sensors to proportionally fire the pneumatic cylinders, valves and electric motors as needed based on a complex control algorithm.

Aiding the compact power and precision contained in the BionicKangaroo is its novel construction. Standing a meter tall, Festo’s robo-roo is approximately the height of the average female kangaroo but at only a fraction of its weight (7kg vs 13-35kg for the average female kangaroo).

In large part, this weight savings is due to the robot’s unique “bones.” Underneath the light foam head and torso casing, Festo’s bionics engineers laser sintered (3D printed) the robot’s limbs, tail and internal structure in nylon and reinforced the lattice with carbon fiber tape. The result is a structure that’s both strong and flexible enough to absorb the stresses of the jump cycle while also light enough to reduce the power requirements of the system.

Operating the robot is accomplished via an armband remote that connects to the BionicKangaroo’s internal controller via Bluetooth. Sensors in the armband interpret input from the www.design-engineering.com

Game CHANGERS Innovative fluid power products usher in dramatic increases in hydraulic efficiency.

By Pat Jones, P.Eng

I

f you have read some of my previous articles, you will know that I think the salvation of fluid power hydraulics systems lies in increased component and circuit efficiency. There is a lot that can be done by implementing better circuit design practices right now, instead of just treating hydraulics as plumbing. Efficient design must be the main thrust for suppliers and end users, or fluid power will loose out to other motion control technologies.

Industry, of course, recognized the need to increase efficiency many years ago, and considerable research has been done that has yielded impressive progress. There are two innovative new approaches to hydraulic power transmission that signal that the future of fluid power is here. The marriage of electronic control to fluid power hydraulics over the past few decades has broadened its applications and kept it relevant in the age of computers.

The following new developments have expanded on this marriage in innovative ways to regained ground lost to electrical and mechanical power transmission options that were more efficient in their day, but can’t compete with the flexibility and controllability offered with fluid power.

The first innovation is a product line by Bosch Rexroth called Sytronix.

I don’t know what the word means, but I do understand the implications of this new electric motor/ pump control technology. With Sytronix, Bosch Rexroth has married the precise control offered by variable speed electric motor control to both fixed and variable displacement hydraulic pumps.

In it’s simplest form, this technology provides variable speed control. In it’s more complicated form, the control system can provide both pressure and flow control. With this variable speed motor control, the inefficiency of a fixed displacement pump and fixed rpm electric motor circuit — where unwanted flow must be forced back to the reservoir — is eliminated.

When the variable speed electric motor control is coupled to a variable displacement pump, it provides an even more sophisticated control where the controller continually optimizes rpm and pump displacement so the pump/motor pair is always running at optimal efficiency. A comparison of this control to a typical demand flow pressure compensated pump system shows significant energy savings when flow demand is low with a corresponding decrease in noise level as well.

During a recent demonstration, it was impressive to actually watch the electric motor shaft slowly rotate while the system maintained 2000 psi. Added to that, the accompanying noise level was so low that, in a traditional hydraulic system, it would have lead you to believe there was something wrong. You could hear the energy being saved. When comparing this system to a typical demand flow, pressure compensated pump system, a 40 percent saving energy

Bosch Rexroth’s Sytronix electric motor/pump control technology provides both pressure and flow control in hydraulic systems.

FluidPower: ShopTalk savings is typical depending on duty cycle, of course.

Sytronix technology has allowed Bosch Rexroth to recapture market share in the injection moulding business where, not that long ago, hydraulics was displaced by servo motor technology.

The advantages of the ease of power transmission from one input source to multiple actuators coupled with Sytronix technology won out over servo drive systems where one motor is required for each function. Score one for fluid power.

Digital Displacement The second innovation is Digital Displacement technology from Artemis Intelligent Power. It uses computer controlled high-speed solenoids valves to control inlet fluid to each piston in a radial piston pump and inlet and outlet valves on a radial piston hydraulic motor. This design provides complete and accurate control of the pump’s output flow and the motor’s output rpm. All this combines to create a mechanically efficient pump and motor design that doesn’t suffer from the parasitic losses associated with pilot fluid control used in traditional variable displacement pumps.

What’s new is that, in 2010, Artemis Intelligent Power was purchase by Mitsubishi Power System Europe, a division of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries. This new relationship has resulted in what they claim to be the highest power hydrostatic transmis-

sion ever built. The 7.2 MW (9700 HP) Digital Displacement hydrostatic transmission replaces the conventional mechanical gearbox used in a wind turbine with one pump and two motors connected to synchronous generators.

The flexibility of this system will allow the transmission to adapt to a wider range of wind conditions than tradition gearbox to harness more power from the same winds. Also, with smaller components and modular design, service will be much easier when compared to the large gearboxes typically used in these applications. So, with hydraulics as the transmission in wind turbines, the result will be more power output and more uptime. Score two for fluid power.

The perceived Achilles’ heel of fluid power, inefficiency, can be overcome. More research and development will unlock the full potential of fluid power’s superior flexibility in power transmission and motion control and lead to an even broader use of fluid power outside of traditional applications. I can’t wait for the next innovation to see where it leads.

How To Keep Your Electronics Cool When hot weather causes the electronics inside a control cabinet to fail, there is a panic to get the machinery up and running again. There are several cooling options out there and it’s important to know the facts. line up of coolers that are prone to bad behavior $$$$$$ $$$$$ $$$$ $$$ $$ $ ¢

Opening the panel door and aiming a fan at the circuit boards is a bad idea.

• It is an OSHA violation that presents a shock hazard to personnel • The fan blows hot, humid, dirty air at the electronics • The cooling effect is minimal • It is likely to fail again since the environment is still hot

These coolers are prone to failure in dirty, industrial environments when dust and dirt clogs the filter.

• It takes almost a day to install • Vibration from machinery causes refrigerant leaks and component failures • Compressor life expectancy is typically 2.5 years of continuous operation

These have serious limitations.

On hot summer days when the temperatures of the room and inside of the enclosure are about equal, there’s not enough difference for exchange.

• They fail when dust and dirt clogs the filter • The cooling capacity is limited due to ambient conditions

The “plastic box cooler” from a competitor uses an inaccurate mechanical thermostat that’s designed for liquids. Th is thermostat has a poor ability to react quickly to changes in air temperature. It costs up

to 85% more to operate than EXAIR’s ETC Cabinet Cooler ® System with the same SCFM rating and Btu/ hr. output.

FluidPower: Roundtable

Fluid Power ROUNDTABLE

2014

Canada’s fluid power leaders discuss the economic outlook and the trends driving the fluid power industry.

Conducted by Mike McLeod DE: How would you characterize the last year sales-wise?

Don McCrudden, Vice President of Business Development, Festo Canada: For us, 2013 was a very good year. Part of that is the fact that Festo is transitioning away from being purely a fluid power company. We’ve been primarily a pneumatic company, but now we are doing very well with our electrical automation as well. Our strategy is to have a more holistic approach with our clients. We really work closely with them focusing on an engineered solution rather than selling a component. That means asking questions like: Wouldn’t it be more cost effective for you if our deliverable was a sub-assembly or how do we change this widget to make it fit even better? That’s a strategy we began a few years ago, and it’s really paying dividends now.

Moshe Haber, Chief Operating Officer, Humphrey Automation: Generally speaking, we had a moderate increase in business last year. The interesting thing was that growth wasn’t distributed evenly over the year. I can’t account for why. It wasn’t due to regular seasonality, and there wasn’t any specific trend or focus on a family products. One thing that I may point out, however, is that we saw a lot of demand for repair parts for products like cylinders. There were more people who, instead of buying new, were repairing.

Shane Monaghan, Fluid Power Product Manager, Gates Canada: In terms of last year’s sales, they were relatively flat. Gates enjoyed a couple of great years previous, 2011 and 2012. In 2013, we experienced a softening of the mining sector, which is a core end market for Gates Canada. On a positive note, the first quarter of 2014 sales have been outstanding. We are looking forward to this being an extremely promising year.

sector did slow up, but for us, we didn’t see one industry excel or decline quickly. Unfortunately, there are some macro-economic factors that are out of our control. Fortunately for Wainbee, we do have four disciplines: Pneumatics, hydraulics, electrical-mechanical and industrial power tools. So, we touch a variety industries and our diversified customer base helps smooth the ups and downs.

DE: What are the biggest trends driving the industry over the next couple of years?

McCrudden—Festo: Safety is clearly one of them. If you look at the control architecture from all the major PLC manufacturers, they are all coming out with their safety PLCs with bus systems like PROFIsafe and CIP Safety. I think most people would agree that the European EC machine directive (ISO 13849-1) strategy for dealing with the topic of safety is the best one. As an OEM, you have to identify the unsafe areas of your machine and work toward quantifying the chances of someone being hurt. Whatever that is, you have to determine the performance level of safety required. If the application is determined to require Category 4, then a strategy with dual redundancy such that, even if anything else happens, it won’t lead to an unsafe condition for the operator. In turn, that means we would be coming out with products that meet the European directive for double redundancy safety.

Haber—Humphrey: If I have to point out a couple of trends, one would be speed. We are receiving more and more requests for components that work fast. All industries want to work fast so all the manufacturers have to offer faster and faster components: Faster controllers, faster switches, faster actuators. The second thing we see is the need to interface with electrical components. In the good old days, everything was pneumatics.

Now we see more electrical components that we have to interface with. With it, people can see what is going on in a machine from their office. www.design-engineering.com

“For us, 2013 was a very good year. Part of that is the fact that Festo is transitioning away from being purely a fluid power company. We’ve been primarily a pneumatic company but now we are doing very well with our electrical automation as well. Our strategy is to have a more holistic approach with our clients.”

—Don McCrudden, Festo Canada

Monaghan—Gates: Fluid power end users are expecting reduced energy consumption, longer product life and increased performance.

So, from our perspective, this is driving recent trends in regards to extreme high-pressure hoses. For example, Gates has developed a spiral hose capable of 8,000 psi working, with a 4-to-1 safety factor. The reasoning behind it is that they enable designers to develop equipment that can handle increased force. Another trend is a push for large bore, large ID high-pressure spiral hoses. We’re talking about 2.5- to 3-inch, 5,000-psi hoses. They are used on hydraulic power systems with increased fluid transfer capacity, and they require the appropriate components and the increased size and pressure resistance.

Newton—Wainbee: When you look at mobile hydraulics market, driving efficiencies — whether its machine footprint, precision or operating costs — is high on the list. Beyond that, another trend is the migration from traditional pneumatics/hydraulics and toward a possible electro-mechanical solution. We field more and more questions directed towards the efficiency of traditional fluid power components compared to electrical-mechanical components like servo drives. That puts more pressure on the fluid power manufacturers to make their products more efficient. As a distributor of pneumatics, hydraulics and electrical-mechanical solutions, we can offer whatever works best but we can also combine solutions, which is powerful for some people.

FluidPower: Roundtable

In the pneumatics market, I would say there are two industries pushing new innovation. One is packaging, where there is always a drive for higher speed, better communication and better control.

The other is medical devices where things have to be smaller and lower weight.

—Moshe Haber, Humphrey Automation

DE: Which industries are driving new developments in fluid power?

McCrudden—Festo: Most of these trends, and especially safety, are driven by the automotive sector. Of course, it also relates to any industry where there is machinery moving with operators nearby, like packaging or printing. However, it’s especially prevalent in automotive sector. The reason for this is due to the nature of their business. A tier one automotive manufacturer may put in a line to make a part for Ford, but that part may only run for two years and then they need a new line. Consequently, the equipment is being revamped more often and, therefore, it’s being done to the latest safety standards.

Haber—Humphrey: In the pneumatics market, I would say there are two industries pushing new innovation. One is packaging, where there is always a drive for higher speed, better communication and better control. The other is medical devices where things have to be smaller and lower weight. A very simple example would be the oxygen-delivery systems that have pneumatic components at the heart of the system. Everything has to be done with smaller and lighter components. And in the mobile applications, they will always look for lower power usage.

Monaghan—Gates: The requirement for large bore high pressure hoses is mostly driven by oversized off-highway equipment that would be used in open-pit mines and offshore drilling rigs.

Those industries are also pushing for increased fuel economy and the reduction of exhaust emissions. From a hose manufacturer’s point of view, it represents an opportunity to produce a zinc-free hose required in Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) systems being used to reduce emissions. Another thing worth mentioning is that long-wall miners have pushed for the redesign of the dangerous staple lock fitting. Gates has released a safer coupling called iLok that can withstand pressures as high as 40,000 psi and cuts down the time needed to hook up these hydraulic hoses. Also, infrastructure and agriculture OEMs are

pushing for corrosion protection for couplings. The trend there is to go to zinc-plated couplings, which are an alternative to expensive stainless steel.

Newton—Wainbee: Oil and gas is one of those industries leading the charge. As companies drill further and deeper, new products are being developed to address the extreme pressures required, for example subsea operations. And with what happened in the gulf a few years ago, there are a lot of concerns. So, from a safety perspective, it’s almost like everything is being re-examined, and that is driving technology. Beyond that, I don’t see any one industry driving it. Everyone is trying to build that better mousetrap.

DE: To what extent is energy efficiency driving product selection/development?

McCrudden—Festo: The energy efficiency topic is generally addressed through education. There are lots of ways to save energy in pneumatic systems, but most people don’t understand that small changes can mean big savings. Some times, it comes down to the proper sizing of the pneumatic components in relationship to the system. It can mean the addition of a few extra regulators and other times it’s simply making the piping simpler.

However, if you go into the OEMs that are building equipment, like the packaging and injection machines, they are going to be consciously thinking about, and publishing somewhere in their sales documentation, what the energy consumption of their machinery is. They are focusing on it much more than they have in the past. It really is becoming a differentiator because these plants realize that they are consuming hundreds of thousands of dollars of electricity so it all comes back to cost savings.

Unfortunately for the fluid power companies, there is a general move toward electrical motion. This isn’t a new thing, but it certainly is gaining more momentum.

Haber—Humphrey: When we are talking about pneumatic applications in manufacturing plants, nobody is really bothered

“Energy efficiency is a huge driving force in new hydraulic product development. When I walked the show at CONEXPO this year, I noticed almost all the exhibitors were addressing it to some degree.”

Another trend is the migration from traditional pneumatics/hydraulics and toward a possible electromechanical solution. We field more and more questions directed towards the efficiency of traditional fluid power components compared to electrical-mechanical components like servo drives.

—Doug Newton, Wainbee Limited

about energy efficiency or power usage. When it comes to mobile applications, there it is important. With the mobile medical applications, you want the battery powering the system to last as long as possible. Inside a factory, however, in my experience, nobody is really concerned about energy efficiency. Generally speaking, we are not talking about components that require huge amounts of power anyway.

Monaghan—Gates: Energy efficiency is a huge driving force in new hydraulic product development. When I walked the show at CONEXPO this year, I noticed almost all the exhibitors were addressing it to some degree. A lot of exhibitors had specific advertising that demonstrated the energy saving potential of their products. So, it is becoming a real differentiator in the market place. For manufacturers, that may mean the redesign

QUALITY SOLUTIONS FOR INDUSTRIAL APPLICATIONS

of a core product group. What hose manufacturers have done is redesign high pressure hydraulic hoses in a compact design.

This provides an increased bend radius, smaller outside diameter and most importantly, less weight per foot. Any weight savings contributes directly to less fuel consumption.

Newton—Wainbee: For the last five years, energy efficiency has become more and more prevalent. Everybody is thinking about it. Is it the first bullet on a presentation? Probably not, but it is in the list of things we can do. It really comes down to performing an in-depth analysis at the plant level to suggest areas for improvement. That’s especially true in Ontario, although may not be as prevalent in other parts of the country where electricity is more cost effective. Yet, we definitely do see that marketplace is conDE sciously looking at building in more efficiencies.

Practical Solutions for

OPEN CIRCUIT SYSTEM INSTABILITY Removing oscillations from open circuit hydraulic systems is tricky, but a few key concepts can boost system stability.

By Chad Daniel

I

t can be challenging to create an open circuit system with the right combination of responsiveness, damping and stability.

Often, there is no single component or design decision that is the cause of the oscillations. Even when everything was specified and manufactured correctly, the system performance is still unacceptable.

Oscillations can cause objectionable noise, undesired system performance and shortened component life. Dynamic issues are typically unexpected and may jeopardize an entire project’s success. Engineering capabilities, design flexibility and available troubleshooting time are all limited. The system needs to be fixed, but no component is broken.

This article reviews two example concepts that have been used to make systems perform to customer expectations. The Figure 1

March/April | 2014

46-49FP-DES.indd 46

concepts apply to several different types of systems, but all of the systems utilize a load sensing variable displacement pump.

An example system is shown in Figure 1.

Concept 1: Add a Restrictor The goal of adding a restrictor, or orifice, to the load sense line is to alter the feedback signal that the pump receives from the load in order to “break up” the oscillations. The objective of this orifice is to sufficiently reduce the pressure oscillations in the load sensing line to reduce the undesirable system oscillations. The load-sensing signal should not be reduced so much that the pump speed and resulting system responsiveness is negatively affected. Figure 2 shows an illustration of this concept.

Introducing an orifice into the load sensing line creates a “lag” (a delay in the output signal relative to the input signal) as the LS pressure signal travels back to the pump. The orifice also decreases the amplitude of pressure spikes received at the LS port of the pump.

An important step in diagnosing oscillation issues is to determine the frequency at which the undesirable pressure or flow oscillations are occurring.

With an understanding of the frequency of the oscillations, an appropriate orifice for the LS line can be selected.

The process recommended here aids the system designer in making the LS line break frequency (the frequency at which a 3 decibel (dB) decrease in output relative to input is observed) the same as the dominant frequency seen in the system pressure data.

The 3 dB decrease target is somewhat arbitrary, but is common in engineering.

This amount of LS pressure oscillation amplitude reduction will usually affect the system enough to be noticeable. With the break frequency of the LS line equal www.design-engineering.com

14-04-14 12:53 PM

FluidPower: Hydraulics 47 Figure 2

to the dominant system frequency, minimal loss of responsiveness will be seen.

The full paper, available on the Danfoss Power Solutions website shows tables that recommend an appropriate orifice size based on the peak-to-peak pressure oscillations seen in the data, the frequency of oscillations, and the volume of oil between the orifice and the LS pump. The full paper also reviews several additional practical solutions.

Higher oscillation amplitudes will require a larger orifice size and smaller amplitudes will require a smaller orifice size. Smaller orifice sizes and larger LS hose volumes will have a larger effect on the oscillation amplitude, but will also slow the system more.

The guidelines presented are intended to be a starting point for analysis. Verification testing will always be required. The guide in the full paper will help the designer understand the constraints of the system and also weigh tradeoffs between performance, orifice size and LS hose volume.

After successful results are achieved by following the guide, it is recommended that larger and smaller LS hose break frequencies be tested to determine the minimum LS hose size and minimum loss of response speed required to reduce oscillations.

Concept 2: Add check and relief valves An alternative to adding a restriction in the LS line is to add a check valve and potentially a relief valve to the load sense line. This alternative will have a higher cost than adding only an orifice, but the performance can also be tuned to remove some of the disadvantages of the orifice in the load sense line. The oscillations of the system can be disrupted by this check valve logic element while maintaining the pressure increase characteristics of the original system.

The restriction in the LS line, from Concept 1, will reduce the pressure rise-and-fall rate of the load sense signal. With this, the pump may not respond quickly enough to inputs to give the operator acceptable performance. For example, if the system is using an LS steering unit connected to an LS pump, the operator may feel a hard spot in the steering wheel because the pump response is slowed by a restrictor in the LS line.

An alternative is to use a simple check valve as shown in Figure 3. This eliminates the potential issue with slow response because pressure is allowed to build in the LS line very quickly. The LS pressure reduces slowly because the check valve stops backflow in the direction of the load. The only leakage out of the hose between the check valve and the pump is through the annular gap between the LS spool and the pump control housing. The decay time can be adjusted in a given system by adjusting the volume of oil between the check valve and the pump control spool. A larger oil volume will increase decay time and a smaller volume will decrease the decay time.

Figure 4 shows a simulation of the system in Figure 3. The simulation has simulated load pressure as the input and LS pressure at the pump as the output. The input is a sinusoidal oscillation that steps from a nominal pressure of 200 bar down to 70 bar at two seconds. This demonstrates the performance of the concept that utilizes a check valve.

The system with the check valve does have some disadvantages. Energy is wasted while the pump is at higher than required pressure. The operator may also notice that the engine is loaded for an extended time after the load pressure decreases. The pump’s operation at high pressure “after the load is released� may also be audible to the operator.

An interesting solution to this challenge is to install a relief valve that relieves from the LS pressure back to the load. This solution can be seen in Figure 5.

Simulation results from this concept can be seen in Figure 6. The oscillations can be reduced with the check valve concept and then the rapid pressure decrease can be managed with the relief valve. At two seconds in the simulation, the load pressure drops quickly. This causes LS pressure at the pump to be substantially higher than simulated load pressure. This situation causes the relief valve to open and the large pressure discrepancy to be reduced by the relief valve. This solution is more complex than only using an orifice or only using a check valve. The relief function can be accomplished with a direct acting relief valve or a check valve with a spring. All components can be small in flow capacity because the system is being manipulated at the pilot signal level.

It is challenging to reduce oscillations in pressure and flow to an acceptable level in some systems. These challenges are seen when utilizing LS systems. LS systems without variable displacement pumps control supply pressure with a valve. These valves typically have a break frequency well above 50 Hz and require a different set of approaches to removing oscillations than presented in this article. This article gives two alternative concepts to remove oscillations in systems that utilize a variable displacement LS pump.

The engineer must make decisions that will affect energy and fuel consumption, as well as productivity and operator satisfaction. Often, the engineer is not sure where to begin the process of removing the oscillations. This article presents concepts that can be used to find solutions.

A complete dynamic model of the system can be useful to quickly troubleshoot various changes that could be made. Once March/April | 2014

The Evolution of

FLUID POWER

The growth of hydraulics and pneumatics over the past century has led to a sophisticated industrial field known not only for its power but also its smarts and safety.

By John Lamb, Chair, Canadian Fluid Power Association

A

t the end of the 19th century, fluid power systems started replacing traditional mechanical systems. Today, they are found in all manner of applications from industrial machinery to amusement park rides. Over that time, growth of the fluid power industry has required a parallel growth in the number of people who understand and can work effectively with fluid power systems.

These people range from engineers responsible for designing the components to mechanics responsible for maintenance and repair of fluid power equipment. Today, fluid power is considered a specialist topic and the engineering required for this field is fluid mechanics, electro-mechanics, electronics, software and industrial controls.

The type of education and training available to prepare these people varies considerably. Formally organized programs exist in two/three year technical and community colleges, four-year universities, and in programs offered by component manufacturers. Technical and commercial decision makers in the fluid power industry need to consider more than force and speed of the actuator.

In effect, what was basic industry equipment has become cutting edge. The latest in fluid power technology offers smarter, faster and smaller components. With the integration of electrical controls, components like solenoids have evolved into sophisticated proportional controls, complete with feedback devices and Fieldbus network capability.

As a result, these highly integrated technologies offer energy efficiency, connectivity and accuracy, all with the highest safety considerations. The benefits of integrated technology, along with the traditional high power-to-weight ratio properties of fluid power, are allowing very sophisticated engineered solutions.

The demands of industry vary depending on the region but the drive for product development around machine safety and energy efficiency are the latest trends. High-speed packaging

equipment builders are looking to meet the new European Safety Regulations. Similarly, mobile hydraulic customers want low weight, compact and highly efficient systems based on the increased cost of fuel.

Of course, safety is a critical part of any fluid power system, not just basic level safeguarding but evaluation of the entire system. The goal is to identify hidden or unexpected flaws with a safety review and incorporate best practices, such as redundancy within a safety circuit.

Nowhere were these trends more prevalent than at the 2014 International Fluid Power Expo (IFPE), the leading international exposition and technical conference dedicated to the integration of fluid power with other technologies for power transmission and motion control applications. Held every three years, the exposition showcases the newest innovations and expertise.

In addition, the show offered more than 100 cutting-edge education sessions at the IFPE Technical conference, focusing on the newest technologies and best practices, as well as the latest research and developments. The show attracts key industry leaders from across the globe and promotes peer-to-peer engagement.

The International Fluid Power Summit (part of IFPE) attracts key association leaders from Canada, China, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Switzerland, Taiwan, Turkey and the United Kingdom as well as the United States. The summit also provides an opportunity for peer-to-peer discussion on a worldwide basis, with the aim of developing strategies that effectively address global challenges facing the fluid power industry.

Ted O’Donnell, Bosch Rexroth Canada’s Regional Manager for Ontario and Director of the CFPA, represented Canada during the summit, which focused on global statistical feedback and networking opportunity. This was Ted’s first visit to the show/ summit and found it to be a very informative and worthwhile trip. The future of Fluid Power Technology is bright and the focus will be on building “Smart” and “Safe” products, increased energy efficiency and reducing environmental impact.
