Thesis project: Simulation of hydraulic hose rupture valves

Are you interested in hydraulic simulations at Toyota Material Handling Europe?Your assignment will be to model safety components on forklift trucks in order to minimize testing. In your Master Thesis at Toyota, you will work on: Build a simulation model of a hose rupture valve in an appropriate simulation program. Build a simulation model of a mast in the appropriate simulation program, where the load and mast height can be varied. Validate the model using lab measurements. Background: All today's trucks have a hose rupture valve to prevent the load from falling uncontrollably in the event of a hose rupture. This is a component that must work in all trucks due to safety. Today, these are dimensioned with simple calculations and verification tests. Several iterations of the calculation and testing are performed to ensure good function. The goal with the thesis is to get a good simulation model that can help with dimensioning of new hose rupture valves and finding the worst case for verification tests. The tolerance of the valve should also be taken into account in the simulation.
