Project 1

AIM :-

Develop a double-acting actuator model using Simscape Multibody and Simscape components. The mechanical system of the cylinder needs to be built using Simscape Multibody library components / blocks, and the hydraulic system needs to be modelled using Simscape library physical components.

OBJECTIVE :-

Build a model of double acting model using simscape multibody.

By using various systems like mechanical, electrical and thermal. build the model with these systems and different blocks with its parameters.

THEROY :-

A double acting cylinder alternates cycles of pressurized fluid to both sides of the piston and creates extend and retract forces to move the piston rod, permitting more control over the movement.

A hydraulic cylinder is a mechanical device that uses hydraulic power to create pressure. They are commonly used in various industrial applications and are also common in hydraulic pumps. They can be used in various ways, including as actuators or as lifting devices.

SIMSCAPE MODEL :-

To build a double acting cylinder in a simscape, te hydralic and mechanical system are needed. The some blocks from simulink.

Build a Mechanical system the blocks that are used in this model is Brick solid, Revolute solid and prismatic joint to connect all parts.

The blocks that are made into the bottom cap, Barrel, head cap, piston and Rod are connected to the prismatic joint. The system now created the model.

Building a hydralic system The blocks that are used in this model is translational hydro - mechanical converters, 4-way diretional valve, pressure relief valve, Hydralic pressure source, hydralic reference, mechanical translational Reference and subtract block.

The blocks that are made the fluid flow into the cylinder model acuator and it is connected to the input signal.

The Blocks solver configuration, world frame and mechanism configuration blocks that are connected to the prismatic joint.

THE BLOCKS WITH PARAMETERS :-

MEHANICAL SYSTEM

HYDRALIC SYSTEM PARAMETERS :-

Input signal builder

OVERALL SYSTEM :-

The double acting acuator system model

RESULTS :-

The system get generated in the mechanical exploler, the piston in the cylinder moves upwards and downwards.

There by an double acting acquator working is observed.

The scope block from the input signal and output is shown in below

CONCLUSION :-

Hence the double acting acuator is modeled and simulated. The motion of the piston is observed in mechnical exploler.

The created video of hydralic double acting acuator is given below attachments.
