| Abstract | |
This note extends previous work of the authors modelling the Wheatley valve by using six intersecting and contiguous ellipses to obtain a generalized mathematical representation of the Wheatley valve: this provides a number of free parameters that could be employed to obtain an optimal design. Since optimality is multi-objective with many of the objectives conflicting we focus on the stresses imposed on the valve by a constant force field. Three distinctly different designs are chosen and an analysis of the stresses is undertaken, conclusions are drawn and results are discussed. (AU) | |
