Application of the MATLAB - Simulink package in the simulation tests on hydrostatic systems

Abstract

The article shows some selected problems related to both modelling and the simula-tion of hydrostatic systems, by making use of MATLAB-Simulink package. In this purpose there have been considered the basic mathematical models of certain selected elements and pheno-mena occurring in hydrostatic systems. The models are shown as block diagrams adapted to the package requirements. Afterwards, taking as example a complex hydraulic system - that is a hydrostatic transmission - there has been illustrated the use of the models and elementary dia-grams in simulation tests.
