Effect Analysis of Design Variables on the Disc in a Double-Eccentric Butterfly Valve

We have performed a shape optimization of the disc in an industrial double-eccentric butterfly valve using the effect analysis of design variables to enhance the valve performance. For the optimization, we select three performance quantities such as pressure drop, maximum stress, and mass (weight) a...
