Application of a Nonlinear Data-Driven Model to Rapid Design of Disc-Spring Valve Systems

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper proposes an analytical tool that supports the design process of a disc spring valve system used in car dampers. The proposed analytical tool obtains a key design characteristic of a valve, which is the flow rate and the corresponding maximum stress level in the stack of plates, as a function of a pressure load. The tool is prepared based on the cases produced by a first-principle model using a finite element approach. The finite element model was calibrated based on experimental results to provide accurate results in the entire range of input parameters.
