Artificial Intelligence Methods in Hydraulic System Design
Grzegorz Filo
Abstract
Reducing energy consumption and increasing operational efficiency are currently among the leading research topics in the design of hydraulic systems. In recent years, hydraulic system modeling and design techniques have rapidly expanded, especially using artificial intelligence methods. Due to the variety of algorithms, methods, and tools of artificial intelligence, it is possible to consider the prospects and directions of their further development. The analysis of the most recent publications allowed three leading technologies to be indicated, including artificial neural networks, evolutionary algorithms, and fuzzy logic. This article summarizes their current applications in the research, main advantages, and limitations, as well as expected directions for further development.
