“…Nevertheless, in both above-mentioned works, it is proposed to apply Roark's formulas for stress and strain for calculation of deformation of a shim valve; in addition, an application of the superposition principle in the process of shim valve modelling is discussed. Linear and nonlinear models of a shim valve based on the principles of the finite element method, which evaluate the geometrical dimensions of the shims and the properties of the material, are presented in [6]. In this source, the results obtained on applying a linear model and a nonlinear model are compared between each other, their differences, complexity, variables of models are discussed; however, the results obtained on applying the mentioned models are not compared to the results obtained during experimental tests.…”
