Computer-aided analysis and static optimization of proportional fluidic circuits
Abstract
This paper presents the development and application of two general purpose, user-oriented computer programs for the analysis and synthesis of proportional fluidic circuits. The first program, termed the Fluidic Circuit Analysis Program (FCAP), allows rapid and accurate estimation of the static and dynamic performance of any complex proportional fluidic circuit. The second program called the Network Optimization Program (NETOPT) allows the determination of the fluidic circuit which minimizes the power consumed by the active components, while the static operation of the circuit meets certain parameter and output constraints.
