AI Thread Summary
A college freshman seeks resources for learning hydraulic design to create a weapon for a battle bot. The team requires knowledge of hydraulic systems to achieve the necessary force for their innovative weapon concept. They have no prior experience with fluidic systems and are looking for comprehensive textbooks or websites that cover hydraulics from basic to advanced levels. Recommended resources include a hydraulics and pneumatics website and an engineering mechanics guide. These materials will help them understand hydraulic design principles essential for their project.

I am a freshman in college currently and I am looking for a comprehensive textbook that could teach my how to design a hydraulic system to operate in a robot. I'm on a battle bot team and we came up with a really ingenious idea for a weapon, but the only way for it to deliver the kinds of forces were estimating is with hydraulics. The problem is, none of us have had any previous experience with fluidic systems before. I'm wondering if any of you can recommend a textbook/s or website that will give a nice over view of hydraulics from the basics to advanced design.

Thread 'Race car suspension Class'

Posted June 2024 - 15 years after starting this class. I have learned a whole lot. To get to the short course on making your stock car, late model, hobby stock E-mod handle, look at the index below. Read all posts on Roll Center, Jacking effect and Why does car drive straight to the wall when I gas it? Also read You really have two race cars. This will cover 90% of problems you have. Simply put, the car pushes going in and is loose coming out. You do not have enuff downforce on the right...

Thread 'Cantilever help'

I'm trying to decide what size and type of galvanized steel I need for 2 cantilever extensions. The cantilever is 5 ft. The space between the two cantilever arms is a 17 ft Gap the center 7 ft of the 17 ft Gap we'll need to Bear approximately 17,000 lb spread evenly from the front of the cantilever to the back of the cantilever over 5 ft. I will put support beams across these cantilever arms to support the load evenly

Thread 'What's the most likely cause for this carbon seal crack?'

We have a molded carbon graphite seal that is used in an inline axial piston, variable displacement hydraulic pump. One of our customers reported that, when using the “A” parts in the past, they only needed to replace them due to normal wear. However, after switching to our parts, the replacement cycle seems to be much shorter due to “broken” or “cracked” failures. This issue was identified after hydraulic fluid leakage was observed. According to their records, the same problem has occurred...
