WIEFP2020

Introduction

This workshop is aimed to bring together industry and academia, interested in this evolving multidisciplinary field of fluid power, driver, actuation, and control systems present in almost all industrial and commercial sectors. The fluid power technology is strongly coupled to other systems such as propulsion, mechanical structures and control systems. Currently there is a strong trend for a transition to electrification and automation in fluid power, in response to the requirements for sustainable solutions. It is also an area of focus for energy efficiency, with new system concepts and other technologies making their entry into that market.
The WIEFP is an opportunity to discuss with distinguished researchers, professors, managers and engineers working on fluid power components and systems as well as with experts from motivating application fields. Besides the presentations from invited speakers from industry and academia, the workshop will have selected presentations from engineers in industry, and master’s and doctoral students.

The WIEFP2020 – 5th Workshop on Innovative Engineering for Fluid Power is a Swedish-Brazilian initiative started in 2012 focused to promote collaboration in the development of technologies, education, innovation management, methods and tools for hydraulic and pneumatic system development and design. The first two editions occurred in São Paulo, at the Brazilian Association of Machinery and Equipment (ABIMAQ) headquarters. The 3rd edition, WIEFP2016 occurred in Florianópolis together with the FPNI2016, at the Campus of the Federal University of Santa Catarina (UFSC). The WIEFP2018 was held again in São Paulo at the Brazilian Association of Machinery and Equipment (ABIMAQ) headquarters. This year the pandemic forces us to move the event on-line. As much as we would like to have a physical meeting, we like to see this also as an opportunity to have a greater participation when people can participate from the comfort of their homes.

The WIEFP2020 is organized by Federal University Santa Catarina (UFSC), Linköping University (LiU), Federal University of ABC (UFABC), Swedish-Brazilian Research and Innovation Centre (CISB), and Hydraulic, Pneumatic, and Industrial Automation Equipment Sectorial Chamber (CSHPA/ABIMAQ).
