Applied Sciences, Vol. 16, Pages 9092: DSM-Based Quantitative Comparison of Centralized and Modular Architectures of a Field-Deployed Electrohydraulic Lifting Device, Validated by Prototype Experiments

19+ hour, 32+ min ago   (495+ words) Steel storage tanks are erected on site by multi-cylinder hydraulic lifting, conventionally from one power unit feeding all cylinders through a flow divider. Decentralized alternatives have not been evaluated for this task, and modularity in fluid power is rarely quantified....

Applied Sciences, Vol. 16, Pages 9078: Backstepping Angle Control of a Marine Hydraulic Ramp Based on a Nonlinear Extended State Observer

1+ day, 59+ min ago   (460+ words) Marine hydraulic ramps exhibit pronounced nonlinear behavior arising from configuration-dependent transmission geometry, gravitational torque, and servovalve flow–pressure coupling. Accurate angle regulation is further complicated by external disturbances and unavailable internal states. This study develops a nonlinear extended state observer…...

Applied Sciences, Vol. 16, Pages 8664: Design of a Translational Flexible Truss Based on Distributed Guide-Slot Optimization

1+ week, 6+ day ago   (298+ words) This paper presents a proof-of-concept study of a translational self-deployable flexible truss with distributed spherical guide-slots. A constrained trajectory-design procedure is developed by integrating guide-slot parameterization with flexible multibody dynamics. A two-stage optimization strategy is implemented, where the stowed compactness…...
