DESIGN OPTIMIZATION OF A FOOT VALVE BY USING ANSYS®
In this study, main components of a foot valve, being produced by casting, were optimized for minimum weight. The study was focused on the minimization of casting costs by reducing the volumes of two main parts of the foot valve. ANSYS® finite elements package was used in the study. In the optimizat...
