Abstract

It is a great pleasure for me to introduce this special issue “14th International Fluid Power Conference”. This special issue presents six fascinating con- tributions, which were originally presented at the International Fluid Power Conference (IFK) in March 2024 in Dresden and have been revised and expanded by their authors with their newest research results.

The IFK is one of the world’s most significant scientific conferences on Fluid-Mechatronic Systems, which offers a common platform for the presen- tation and discussion of trends and innovations to manufacturers, users and scientists. The Chair of Fluid-Mechatronic Systems (LFD) at the TU Dresden was organising and hosting the IFK for the seventh time. The organization and the conference location alternates every two years between Dresden at the LFD and Aachen at the Institute for Fluid Power Drives and Systems (ifas). The 14th IFK covered under the motto “Fluid Power: Sustainable Productivity” a wide range of topics from component developments like pumps or valves towards system applications for mobile, industrial or pneu- matic applications in 91 peer-reviewed and non-peer-reviewed presentations, respectively papers. Due to this almost unmanageable number of exciting contributions, it is a great pleasure for me to present this special issue, which represents a small and finely sorted selection of particularly promising and high rated contributions of the IFK.

Author Biography

Jürgen Weber , Dresden University of Technology

J¨urgen Weber had studied mechanical engineering at Dresden University of Technology, and successfully finished his doctorate in 1991. Until 1997, he was the active senior engineer at the former chair of Hydraulics and Pneumat- ics. This was followed by an approximately 13-year industrial phase. He was active in various positions at the R&D department of the agricultural and con- struction machinery manufacturer CNH. Besides his occupation as the head of the Department Hydraulics and design manager for mobile and tracked excavators, starting in 2002, he took on responsibility for the hydraulics in construction machinery at CNH worldwide. From 2006 onward, he was the global head of architecture for hydraulic drive and control systems, system integration and advance development of CNH construction machinery. March 1st, 2010, Dr.-Ing. J¨urgen Weber has been appointed university professor and chair of Fluid-Mechatronic System Technology at Dresden University of Technology, and simultaneously took on the leadership of the Institute of Fluid Power. Since 1.7.2018 he is the leader of the Institute of Mechatronic Engineering.
