Title Pleasingly quiet - Designing silent hydraulic pumps with the help of the finite element method
Original title Schön leise - Lärmarme Hydraulikpumpen konstruieren mit Hilfe der Finite-Elemente-Methode [in German]
Bibliographic information Sep. 1994, Vol.100, No.38, p.66-70. Illus.
Abstract The finite-element-method for predicting the vibrations of hydraulic pumps is based on dividing the pump into smaller sections. The noise and vibration excitation in the individual sections is simulated by mathematical models. A radial piston pump is used to illustrate the method. The influence of variables such as wall thickness or location of various components on the noise radiated by the pump can be predicted. Development time can be cut due to a lower number of prototypes needed in the design of silent hydraulic pumps.
