Reliability evaluation of folding ferry plate hydraulic system

The hydraulic system serves as the fundamental component of the folding ferry plate, with its performance directly influencing the operational efficiency of the overall mechanism. This study investigates the hydraulic system of the folding ferry plate by modeling and simulating the lifting and unfolding devices using AMESim. Mathematical models for the reliability of individual hydraulic modules, as well as the overall system reliability, are developed. Reliability curves for each module are generated through MATLAB simulations, and the fault-free operating duration of the complete system is calculated. The feasibility of the hydraulic system is subsequently validated. This research provides essential technical guidance for the design and reliability assessment of hydraulic systems.
