Fluid Control Systems

KAWAKAMI Yukio
Course content
Fluid control systems are being applied in many industrial fields such as automobiles (suspension, power steering, 4WS, ABS), construction equipments, industrial robots, various automated machines, and aseismic devices in high-rise buildings. This course will discuss the elements (equipments) constituting these fluid control systems and introduce their characteristics and applications. As well, explanations will also be provided on design methods when configuring them into systems, dynamic properties analysis and simulation techniques to understand system behavior, and control system design methods for hydraulic control systems, pneumatic control systems, and functional fluid devices, etc. while citing specific examples of applications.
Purpose of class
Students have to understand the configuration machineries in the fluid control system and master the control system analysis design approach, because fluid control systems are widely used in many industrial fields.
Goals and objectives
  1. Explain the mechanism and role of fluid control equipments
  2. Study of devices, which consist of the fluid control system
  3. Study of control theories, which applied to the fluid control system

Evaluation method and criteria
It is mandatory to submit a task report on the lecture content every time.
Each report is evaluated by S, A, B, C, and D, and C is the level at which the lecture content can be understood at a minimum.
However, if the report has not been submitted, it will be D.
The final evaluation is an average of all reports, and if the C evaluation is given, 60 points will be passed.
