Project / Leader: 2E - Prof. Chris Paredis (Georgia Tech)

Title: Component integration for fluid power systems.

Project Goal: To reduce the time and effort required to design compact and efficient systems comprised of fluid power components.

What is the problem?: Complex fluid power systems cannot be designed by a single person.  Without effective analysis tools and organizational strategies, it is difficult to keep track of the rapidly advancing state of fluid power technology and integrate such components into an efficient and compact system.

How to solve the problem: The people who design fluid power systems would use our methods to better organize their efforts and utilize their strengths.  This enables them to find solutions that would be difficult to identify otherwise.  The result is a system that performs better, takes less time and money to design and manufacture, and captures knowledge that can be reused when creating new designs in the future.
