Enhanced Operation Mode Design and Motion Control of a Dual-Redundancy Electro-Hydrostatic Actuator

Actuators
In dual-redundancy electro-hydrostatic actuators (EHAs), the dual pumps are mainly designed for safety, where the cylinder is controlled mainly by one pump while the other one is standby for redundancy. However, such a strategy is basically like a single-
