Modeling of the Shuttle Hydraulics Elevon Actuator
Abstract
A model has been created to simulate the performance of the Shuttle
Elevon actuators using the Easy5 Thermal Hydraulics library. There are 3
major sections of the Elevon actuator control that consists of: 1) switching
valves for the primary and redundant pressure supplies, 2) a power spool
to drive the actuator ram, and 3) servovalves that are used to position the
power spool. Interactive simulation techniques using Fortran Code
components and slider components will be presented for generating results
to compare to test data.

Results Discussion
Thermal hydraulics library has the components required to
model a complex system such as the Shuttle Elevon
hydraulics
Fortran code blocks are very useful for the control inputs
for orifice valves
Slider components allow for interactive simulations to
determine system performance based on command inputs
and system anomalies
Simulation results obtained match test data within 3%
