The Design Enhancement of a Pneumatic Cylinder for Valve Actuators by Integrating the “Design-by-Formulas” and “Design-by-Analysis” Approaches with Multiple Integrative Advanced Simulations

The authors would like to make a meaningful contribution to product development strategies by introducing an original holistic design methodology for pressure-containing equipment. A case study is presented, focusing on the design enhancement of a pneumatic cylinder for valve actuators. The purpose...
