Abstract

Since computing techniques advanced in great leaps during the past decades a wide range of simulation tools have been established providing useful help for engineers in different fields. Although these simulation tools are getting more and more user-friendly using them still demands a lot of skills concerning meshing, choosing the proper equation solver, and modeling the boundary conditions as realistic as possible or necessary. In a certain application dosing liquids a valve is used that can be controlled using a sealing device based on a thin, rotationally symmetric plate with a ram on its outer side. Using the Kirchhoff Plate Theory and regarding the sealing device as a thin plate with different partial loads in sections allows to get a first guidance value when dimensioning the sealing device. Additionally the Kirchhoff Plate Theory allows to identify the influence of certain parameters easily and saves a lot of time compared to a series of simulations.
