Over the recent years, development in mobile working machines has concentrated on reducing emissions owing to the tightening rules and needs to improve energy utilization and reduce power losses. This study focuses on energy utilization and regeneration in an electro-hydraulic forklift, which is a lifting equipment application. The study starts from the modelling and simulation of a hydraulic forklift. The energy regeneration from the potential energy of the load was studied. Also a flow-based electric motor speed control was suggested in this thesis instead of the throttle control method or the variable displacement pump control. Topics related to further development in the future are discussed. Finally, a summary and conclusions are presented.

The present study was done with two different servo-systems. In the first system, a servo-hydraulic system was identified and then controlled by a fuzzy gainscheduling controller. The second servo-system, an electro-magnetic linear motor in suppressing the mechanical vibration and position tracking of a reference model are studied by using a neural network and an adaptive backstepping controller respectively. Followings are some descriptions of research methods. Electro Hydraulic Servo Systems (EHSS) are commonly used in industry. These kinds of systems are nonlinearin nature and their dynamic equations have several unknown parameters.System identification is a prerequisite to analysis of a dynamic system. One of the most promising novel evolutionary algorithms is the Differential Evolution (DE) for solving global optimization problems. In the study, the DE algorithm is proposed for handling nonlinear constraint functionswith boundary limits of variables to find the best parameters of a servo-hydraulic system with flexible load. The DE guarantees fast speed convergence and accurate solutions regardless the initial conditions of parameters. The control of hydraulic servo-systems has been the focus ofintense research over the past decades. These kinds of systems are nonlinear in nature and generally difficult to control. Since changing system parameters using the same gains will cause overshoot or even loss of system stability. The highly non-linear behaviour of these devices makes them ideal subjects for applying different types of sophisticated controllers. The study is concerned with a second order model reference to positioning control of a flexible load servo-hydraulic system using fuzzy gainscheduling. In the present research, to compensate the lack of dampingin a hydraulic system, an acceleration feedback was used. To compare the results, a pcontroller with feed-forward acceleration and different gains in extension and retraction is used. The design procedure for the controller and experimental results are discussed. The results suggest that using the fuzzy gain-scheduling controller decrease the error of position reference tracking. The second part of research was done on a PermanentMagnet Linear Synchronous Motor (PMLSM). In this study, a recurrent neural network compensator for suppressing mechanical vibration in PMLSM with a flexible load is studied. The linear motor is controlled by a conventional PI velocity controller, and the vibration of the flexible mechanism is suppressed by using a hybrid recurrent neural network. The differential evolution strategy and Kalman filter method are used to avoid the local minimum problem, and estimate the states of system respectively. The proposed control method is firstly designed by using non-linear simulation model built in Matlab Simulink and then implemented in practical test rig. The proposed method works satisfactorily and suppresses the vibration successfully. In the last part of research, a nonlinear load control method is developed and implemented for a PMLSM with a flexible load. The purpose of the controller is to track a flexible load to the desired position reference as fast as possible and without awkward oscillation. The control method is based on an adaptive backstepping algorithm whose stability is ensured by the Lyapunov stability theorem. The states of the system needed in the controller are estimated by using the Kalman filter. The proposed controller is implemented and tested in a linear motor test drive and responses are presented.

This thesis gives an overview of the validation process for thermal hydraulic system codes and it presents in more detail the assessment and validation of the French code CATHARE for VVER calculations. Three assessment cases are presented: loop seal clearing, core reflooding and flow in a horizontal steam generator. The experience gained during these assessment and validation calculations has been used to analyze the behavior of the horizontal steam generator and the natural circulation in the geometry of the Loviisa nuclear power plant. The cases presented are not exhaustive, but they give a good overview of the work performed by the personnel of Lappeenranta University of Technology (LUT). Large part of the work has been performed in co-operation with the CATHARE-team in Grenoble, France. The design of a Russian type pressurized water reactor, VVER, differs from that of a Western-type PWR. Most of thermal-hydraulic system codes are validated only for the Western-type PWRs. Thus, the codes should be assessed and validated also for VVER design in order to establish any weaknesses in the models. This information is needed before codes can be used for the safety analysis. Theresults of the assessment and validation calculations presented here show that the CATHARE code can be used also for the thermal-hydraulic safety studies for VVER type plants. However, some areas have been indicated which need to be reassessed after further experimental data become available. These areas are mostly connected to the horizontal stem generators, like condensation and phase separation in primary side tubes. The work presented in this thesis covers a large numberof the phenomena included in the CSNI code validation matrices for small and intermediate leaks and for transients. Also some of the phenomena included in the matrix for large break LOCAs are covered. The matrices for code validation for VVER applications should be used when future experimental programs are planned for code validation.

Diplomityön tehtävänä oli tutkia paalinmuodostajassa esiintyvien vikojen aiheuttajia ja antaa mahdollinen korjausehdotus vian aiheuttajan poistamiseksi. Tämä työ jakaantuu kolmeen osa-alueeseen: 1. hydraulisen toiminnan selvittäminen, 2. mittausten tekeminen, tulosten tulkinta ja vikahistoriatietojen tarkasteleminen, 3. ongelmakohtien selvittäminen ja parannusehdotuksien esittäminen ongelmien ratkaisemiseksi. Diplomityön pohjana käytettiinpiirustuksia sekä CMT-Solutionin ja Metson tekemiä kunnonvalvontamittauksia. Patruunatekniikalla toteutetun hydraulijärjestelmän vian perussyytä etsittäessä onselvitettävä komponenttien ja järjestelmän toiminta kunnonvalvontamittausten avulla. Paalinmuodostajien hydraulijärjestelmien tulisi olla toimivia, luotettaviaja taloudellisia. Hydraulijärjestelmässa käytettävien komponenttien tulisi ollamyös keskenään yhteensopivia, turvallisia ja luotettavia toiminnaltaan, helposti huollettavia sekä vaivattomasti saatavilla olevia. Komponenttien, joita mahdollisesti vaihdetaan on oltava yhteensopivia M-realin jo varastossa olevien komponenttien kanssa. Näin vältetään varastoon muodostumasta useita erilaisia komponenttiyhdistelmiä, jotka turhaan kuormittavat varastomääriä ja lisäävät sitoutuneenpääoman määrää. Työssäni pyrin myös parannusehdotuksia antaessani mahdollisimman yksinkertaiseen ja taloudelliseen ratkaisuun M-realin kannalta. Diplomityön tulosten pohjalta kokeiltiin muutamia muutoksia eri kohtiin hydraulijärjestelmässä. Osa alustavista muutoksista toteutettiin Metson ja STH-Service/Simo Suppasen toimesta. Nähtäväksi jää onko näillä toimenpiteillä ollut vaikutusta hydraulijärjestelmän luotettavuuteen.

Työn tavoitteena oli vaaitusjärjestelmän kehittäminen ITO 2005 Asrad-R –ohjusjärjestelmän laukaisualustalle. Järjestelmäkontin jokaiseen kulmaan suunniteltiin nostojalat, joita voitiin kääntää sekä nostaa ja laskea hydraulisesti. Järjestelmään kuului myös hydraulikäyttöinen asetaso, jonka ylä- ja ala-asennoilla oli erillinen lukitus. Tärkein vaadittu toiminto oli järjestelmäkontin vaaitus maan vetovoiman suhteen epätasaisella alustalla sekä maastossa että kuorma-auton päällä. Lisäksi tarvittiin nostojalkojen nostoliikkeelle toiminto, jolla konttia nostetaan ja lasketaan siten, että se säilyttää lähtökulmansa. Kaikkia nostojalkojen sylintereitä oli mahdollista käyttää myös yksittäin. Järjestelmällä oli kovat ympäristövaatimukset, koska se oli suunniteltu sotalaitteeksi rauhan ja kriisin aikaista toimintaa varten. Riittävät vapausasteet järjestelmän toimimiseksi ajoneuvon apurungon päällä saatiin nostojalkojen rotaatioliikkeen joustosta ja tassujen liukumisesta poikittain apurungon kiinnikkeissä. Maastossa nostojalat olivat täysin jäykkiä ja liukuminen tapahtui tassujen ja maalevyjen välillä. Hydraulijärjestelmässä käytettiin on/off-magneettiventtiilejä, koska liikkeet olivat hitaita ja vaadittuun tarkkuuteen ja nopeuteen päästiin helposti. Keskeisiä suunnittelun lähtökohtia olivat rakenteiden keveys, järjestelmän yksinkertaisuus, hinta ja toimintavarmuus. Yksinkertaisella ja edullisella järjestelmällä saatiin aikaan hyvin toimiva ratkaisu.

Pesu on tärkeä osa sellun tuotantoprosessia. Eräs tapa toteuttaa sellun pesu on käyttää painediffusööriä. Painediffusööri toimii syrjäytyspesuperiaatteella, eli poistaa sellu-massasta keittolipeää paineistetun pesuveden avulla. Työssä on kehitetty painediffusöörin suunnittelun lähtökohtia keräämällä tietoa laitteen toiminnasta, rakenteesta, valmistuksesta sekä nykyisistä epäkohdista, joihin esitetään parannusmahdollisuuksia. Tärkeimmät kehitysalueet laitteessa ovat valmistus-toleranssien väljentäminen sekä sihdin pystysuuntaisen liikkeen tuottaminen. Laitteen valmistustoleranssit on analysoitu perusteellisesti, ja niiden väljentämis-mahdollisuuksia on tutkittu. Väljentämiseen ehdotetaan erilaisia keinoja. Sihdin liike tuotetaan tällä hetkellä hydrauliikalla. Hydrauliikkakomponenteille on koottu mitoitusohjeita, joiden jälkeen esitellään keinoja hydrauliikkajärjestelmän kehittämiseen. Lopuksi esitellään muita lineaarisen liikkeen tuottamisvaihtoehtoja, joilla hydrauliikan voisi korvata. Rakenteessa käytetyille valmistusmateriaaleille on etsitty olemassa olevat yleisimpien materiaalistandardien mukaiset nimikkeet materiaalinvalinnan helpottamiseksi jatkossa. Pääasiallisten valmistusmateriaalien lisäksi on kerätty tietoa myös vaihtoehtoisista konstruktiomateriaaleista sekä materiaalinvalinnasta ja tuotesuunnittelusta yleensä.

Paperiteollisuuden prosessituotteista paperia varastoidaan erikokoisina rullina esim. pystyrullavarastoihin. Tämän diplomityön tavoitteena oli kehittää Konecranesin prosessinosturille liityntä paperirullia käsittelevän kuormauselimen ja nosturin välille. Tavoitteena oli löytää kiinnitysmenetelmä, joka mahdollistaa nosturien joustavan käytön mahdollisimman pienin muutoksin itse nosturin standardoituun rakenteeseen. Pääasiallisena syventymisen kohteena oli alipaineella paperirullia nostettavan kuormauselimen liityntä. Liitynnän on kyettävä joustamaan ja vaimentamaan paperirullia nostavaan kuormauselimeen nosturin liikkeelle lähdöstä ja pysähtymisestä syntyvät herätteet ja voimat. Nosturin liikenopeus on kyettävä pitämään mahdollisimman suurena lyhyen rullienkäsittelyajan saavuttamiseksi. Liitynnältä vaaditaan kykyä ottaa kuormauselin vastaan mahdollisimman suurella nostonopeudella. Lisäksi kuorman ja kuormauselimen oskillaatio on vaimennettava mahdollisimman nopeasti samalla rajoittaen heilunnasta aiheutuvaa maksimi siirtymää. Liitynnän suunnittelu pohjautuu nosturin, kuormauselimen ja paperirullan muodostaman systeemin teoreettiseen tarkasteluun. Systeemistä laadittiin dynaaminen malli, jonka avulla tutkittiin oskillaation ja syntyvien kiihtyvyyksien suuruutta. Näiden teoriaan perustuvien tuloksien pohjalta suunniteltiin vaimennukseen tarvittavat vaimennuselementit ja liitynnän rakenne. Suunnittelutyön tuloksena saatiin liitynnälle alustava rakenne, joka mahdollistaa käytettävien vaimennuselementtien vaihtamisen ja siten tehokkaan heilunnan vaimmennuksen. Suunnittelutyön lähtökohtana oleva teoreettinen tarkastelu vaatii tuekseen esim. prototyypin kokeellisten tulosten saamiseksi ennen lopullisen tuotteen valmistamista. Suunnitteluprosessissa noudatettiin järjestelmällisen tuotesuunnittelun vaiheita ja menetelmiä.

Commercially available haptic interfaces are usable for many purposes. However, as generic devices they are not the most suitable for the control of heavy duty mobile working machines like mining machines, container handling equipment and excavators. Alternative mechanical constructions for a haptic controller are presented and analysed. A virtual reality environment (VRE) was built to test the proposed haptic controller mechanisms. Verification of an electric motor emulating a hydraulic pump in the electro-hydraulic system of a mobile working machine is carried out. A real-time simulator using multi-body-dynamics based software with hardware-in-loop (HIL) setup was used for the tests. Recommendations for further development of a haptic controller and emulator electric motor are given.

Tämän työn tavoitteena oli luoda koulutusmateriaalia PF-suodattimien hydraulijärjestelmien koulutusta varten sekä selvittää Automation Studio-ohjelmiston soveltuvuutta PF-suodattimien analysointiin ja vianmääritykseen. Työssä tutkittiin myös aktivoivien koulutusmenetelmien vaikutusta oppimisprosessiin. Työn tärkeimpinä tuloksina saatiin opetusvideot PF-suodattimien hydraulijärjestelmissä käytettävistä peruskomponenteista sekä järjestelmien toimintaa kuvaavat opetusvideot. Työssä käytettyä mallinnus- ja simulointiohjelmistoa ei voida nykyisellä ohjelmaversiolla täysin soveltaa PF-suodattimien vianmääritykseen tai analysointiin. Työssä selvennettiin menestyksekkään vianmäärityksen ja analysoinnin kannalta tarvittavat laajennustarpeet ohjelmistoon. Koulutuksesta kerätyn palautteen perusteella opetusvideot yhdistettynä aktivoiviin koulutusmenetelmiin helpottavat PF-suodattimien hydraulijärjestelmien koulutusta sekä edistävät oppimisprosessia. Aktivoivia koulutusmenetelmiä voidaan pitää erityisesti soveltuvina aikuiskoulutukseen.

The aim of this thesis is to propose a novel control method for teleoperated electrohydraulic servo systems that implements a reliable haptic sense between the human and manipulator interaction, and an ideal position control between the manipulator and the task environment interaction. The proposed method has the characteristics of a universal technique independent of the actual control algorithm and it can be applied with other suitable control methods as a real-time control strategy. The motivation to develop this control method is the necessity for a reliable real-time controller for teleoperated electrohydraulic servo systems that provides highly accurate position control based on joystick inputs with haptic capabilities. The contribution of the research is that the proposed control method combines a directed random search method and a real-time simulation to develop an intelligent controller in which each generation of parameters is tested on-line by the real-time simulator before being applied to the real process. The controller was evaluated on a hydraulic position servo system. The simulator of the hydraulic system was built based on Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) method. A Particle Swarm Optimization algorithm combined with the foraging behavior of E. coli bacteria was utilized as the directed random search engine. The control strategy allows the operator to be plugged into the work environment dynamically and kinetically. This helps to ensure the system has haptic sense with high stability, without abstracting away the dynamics of the hydraulic system. The new control algorithm provides asymptotically exact tracking of both, the position and the contact force. In addition, this research proposes a novel method for re-calibration of multi-axis force/torque sensors. The method makes several improvements to traditional methods. It can be used without dismantling the sensor from its application and it requires smaller number of standard loads for calibration. It is also more cost efficient and faster in comparison to traditional calibration methods. The proposed method was developed in response to re-calibration issues with the force sensors utilized in teleoperated systems. The new approach aimed to avoid dismantling of the sensors from their applications for applying calibration. A major complication with many manipulators is the difficulty accessing them when they operate inside a non-accessible environment; especially if those environments are harsh; such as in radioactive areas. The proposed technique is based on design of experiment methodology. It has been successfully applied to different force/torque sensors and this research presents experimental validation of use of the calibration method with one of the force sensors which method has been applied to.

Gear rattle is a phenomenon that occurs when idling or lightly loaded gears collide due to engine’s torque fluctuations. This behaviour is related to vibration behaviour of the transmission system. Aim of this master’s thesis is to evaluate Adams and Adams/Machinery as a simulation tools for modelling the rattle e ect in a transmission system. A case study of tractor’s power take-o driveline, suspected to be prone to rattle, is performed in this work. Modelling methods used by Adams in this type of study are presented in the theory section while simulation model build with the software during this work is presented in the results. The Machinery toolbox is used to create gears and bearings while other model components are created with standard Adams tool set. Geometries and excitations are exported from other softwares. Results were obtained from multiple variations of a base model. These result sets and literature review suggest that Adams/Machinery may not be the most suitable tool for rattle analysis. While the system behaviour was partially captured, for accurate modelling user-written routines must be used which may be more easily performed with other tools. Further research about this topic is required.

A small break loss-of-coolant accident (SBLOCA) is one of problems investigated in an NPP operation. Such accident can be analyzed using an experiment facility and TRACE thermal-hydraulic system code. A series of SBLOCA experiments was carried out on Parallel Channel Test Loop (PACTEL) facility, exploited together with Technical Research Centre of Finland VTT Energy and Lappeenranta University of Technology (LUT), in order to investigate two-phase phenomena related to a VVER-type reactor. The experiments and a TRACE model of the PACTEL facility are described in the paper. In addition, there is the TRACE code description with main field equations. At the work, calculations of a SBLOCA series are implemented and after the calculations, the thesis discusses the validation of TRACE and concludes with an assessment of the usefulness and accuracy of the code in calculating small breaks.

Currently, the power generation is one of the most significant life aspects for the whole man-kind. Barely one can imagine our life without electricity and thermal energy. Thus, different technologies for producing those types of energy need to be used. Each of those technologies will always have their own advantages and disadvantages. Nevertheless, every technology must satisfy such requirements as efficiency, ecology safety and reliability. In the matter of the power generation with nuclear energy utilization these requirements needs to be highly main-tained, especially since accidents on nuclear power plants may cause very long term deadly consequences. In order to prevent possible disasters related to the accident on a nuclear power plant strong and powerful algorithms were invented in last decades. Such algorithms are able to manage calculations of different physical processes and phenomena of real facilities. How-ever, the results acquired by the computing must be verified with experimental data.

This dissertation describes an approach for developing a real-time simulation for working mobile vehicles based on multibody modeling. The use of multibody modeling allows comprehensive description of the constrained motion of the mechanical systems involved and permits real-time solving of the equations of motion. By carefully selecting the multibody formulation method to be used, it is possible to increase the accuracy of the multibody model while at the same time solving equations of motion in real-time. In this study, a multibody procedure based on semi-recursive and augmented Lagrangian methods for real-time dynamic simulation application is studied in detail. In the semirecursive approach, a velocity transformation matrix is introduced to describe the dependent coordinates into relative (joint) coordinates, which reduces the size of the generalized coordinates. The augmented Lagrangian method is based on usage of global coordinates and, in that method, constraints are accounted using an iterative process. A multibody system can be modelled as either rigid or flexible bodies. When using flexible bodies, the system can be described using a floating frame of reference formulation. In this method, the deformation mode needed can be obtained from the finite element model. As the finite element model typically involves large number of degrees of freedom, reduced number of deformation modes can be obtained by employing model order reduction method such as Guyan reduction, Craig-Bampton method and Krylov subspace as shown in this study The constrained motion of the working mobile vehicles is actuated by the force from the hydraulic actuator. In this study, the hydraulic system is modeled using lumped fluid theory, in which the hydraulic circuit is divided into volumes. In this approach, the pressure wave propagation in the hoses and pipes is neglected. The contact modeling is divided into two stages: contact detection and contact response. Contact detection determines when and where the contact occurs, and contact response provides the force acting at the collision point. The friction between tire and ground is modelled using the LuGre friction model, which describes the frictional force between two surfaces. Typically, the equations of motion are solved in the full matrices format, where the sparsity of the matrices is not considered. Increasing the number of bodies and constraint equations leads to the system matrices becoming large and sparse in structure. To increase the computational efficiency, a technique for solution of sparse matrices is proposed in this dissertation and its implementation demonstrated. To assess the computing efficiency, augmented Lagrangian and semi-recursive methods are implemented employing a sparse matrix technique. From the numerical example, the results show that the proposed approach is applicable and produced appropriate results within the real-time period.
