报告内容：

This seminar will illustrate the activities of the Maha Fluid Power Research Center of Purdue University. The Maha Fluid Power Research Center (Maha) is a Purdue’s University approved Research Center fully dedicated to fluid power research and education. Maha’s activities encompass both fundamental areas of fluid power research as well as applied technology transfer. The center has a almost equally split support from industry and government agencies. After providing an overview of the Maha research facilities, the seminar will provide specific examples on the main research topics carried out in the lab. These topics are in line with the current technology trends related to pump development, off-road and on-road applications.

Particular focus will be given to the capabilities of the lab to perform multi-physics pump simulations, advanced experiments as well as on conceiving original hydraulic control actuation systems. The seminar will also touch some aspects related to the recent electrification trend affecting several off-road vehicles.

The final part of the seminar will highlight the most recent developments in the educational tools used at Purdue to educate fluid power students at both graduate and undergraduate levels.
