Abstract
This paper proposes an analytical tool that supports the design process of a hydraulic damper valve system. The analytical tool combines Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) and Fuzzy Inference Systems (FIS) into one tool called, in the paper, the Approximation Tool. The proposed Approximation Tool obtains a key design characteristic of a valve, which is the flow rate, and the corresponding maximum stress level in the valve components, as a function of a pressure load. The cases required to prepare the Approximation Tool were produced by a first-principle model using a finite element approach. The model was calibrated based on experimental results to provide accurate results in the entire range of input parameters. The paper describes the proposal, implementation, validation and an example of applying the Approximation Tool that allows the replacement of complex high- fidelity Finite Element analyses. As an approximator the Feed Forward Neural Network and FIS were taken.
