The 1st International Conference
on Computational Methods in Fluid Power Technology, will be held in
Melbourne, Australia. The Conference is organized by Fluid
Power Net International and the Dept.
of Mechanical Engineering, Monash University. We invite you to Melbourne.

Organizing Committees
The Objective
Widespread application of computers
in design, analysis and control of fluid power is only occasionally and
briefly treated at Fluid Power Conferences, thus the idea of the Conference
which will allow to treat these topics in some depth. The objective of
the Conference is to provide an opportunity to exchange high quality, recent
information on development, design, and research in the field of software
for analysis and design of fluid power technology. It is our intention
to provide a forum for presentation of tools, methods, and "best practices"
concerned with all aspects of application of computers to analysis, design
and control of fluid power systems.
The Scope
Scope of the conference covers IT-tools
and advanced computational methods for solving practical problems
in design and control of fluid power systems and includes the following:
-
modeling and simulation of fluid power
systems with special emphasis on software for analysis, design and control
of fluid power system, real-time simulation.
-
artificial intelligence applications
in fluid power field.
-
computer aided method for design (CAD,FEA,
CAM) design and manufacturing H&P systems.) and optimization.
-
failure analysis, condition monitoring
and maintenance of fluid power components and systems.
-
information technology and web-based
collaborative environments for research in fluid power technology
-
computers in design and control of mechatronics
and motion control systems
-
advanced visualisation/control techniques
and their integration with fluid power technology, e.g virtual reality
technology.
-
Application of modeling and simulation
and other computer software in fluid power education.
-
computational fluid mechanics (CFD)
in application to design and analysis of fluid power components with focus
on fluid mechanics and fluid-structure interactions (2 and 3 dimensional
wave propagation in fluids, including fluid structure interaction), handling
changing geometry in CFD codes (as is the case for instance in any valve
when changing its spool position), combination of network based simulation
models with CFD methods, simulation of elasto hydrodyamic problems, coupling
of FEM and CFD, thermal analysis.

Who should contribute and participate
The Conference aims to bring industrial
engineers together with
researchers in fluid power and software
developers who develop or have already developed design, analysis or
control software and to provide the opportunity to assess current status
of these activities. It is hopped that both research and commercially available
software will be demonstrated to the participants and. computational problems
specific to fluid power will be discussed. An important criteria in accepting
papers will be use of advanced methods for solving real problems.
