Dynamic Simulation of a Warship Control Valve Based on a Mechanical-Electric-Fluid Cosimulation Model by Jiazhen Han, Yudong Xie, Yong Wang, Qixian Wang

“…In engineering practice, the fluid oscillation inside the control valve causes the additional load to the valve actuator. When the additional load is added to the original load of the valve, it is possible that the required driving force (or driving moment) of the valve is greater than the maximum force (or moment) output by the actuator, which may cause the abnormal stop of the actuator. …”
