Aiming at researching the dynamic characteristics of a rack-and-pinion hydraulic power steering system
the mathematical models of the hydraulic system are established
which included conversion valve
steering hydraulic cylinder and other components.The dynamic characteristics of the system are simulated by using SIMULINK.The deflection angle emerged by the fluctuating load is taken as the input of the system
and the force of steering hydraulic cylinder is taken as the output.The results show that
the force of steering hydraulic cylinder increased when amplitude of deflection angle increased
and the force of steering hydraulic cylinder increased when frequency of deflection angle increased.In order to improve the dynamic characteristics of the hydraulic power steering system
torsion bar stiffness
the load mass and the effective fluid volumetric modulus of elasticity are analyzed.
