Comparative analysis of current approaches to digital twins of electro-hydraulic mechatronic systems creations

Abstract

The aim of this study is to identify approaches and principles for creating digital twins of electrohydraulic mechatronic systems. The aim of the study was achieved by bibliometric analysis and systematic review for identification approaches and principles of creating digital twins of various electro-hydraulic mechatronic systems in all stages of their life cycles. As a result of the research, publications were systematized in accordance with the approaches and methods proposed in them for creating digital twins of electrohydraulic mechatronic systems and their elements. Namely, which stages of the life cycles of electrohydraulic mechatronic systems are covered by the approaches and methods proposed in publications. During the bibliometric analysis, no publications were identified that would offer a systematic methodology for creating different types of digital twins of electrohydraulic mechatronic systems at all stages of their life cycles. Thus, the creation of such a systematic methodology is an important scientific and practical task.
