Purpose: The aim of this paper is to develop and validate a linear and nonlinear numerical 2/3D models of the spring washer stack and a system model of an entire hydraulic damper. Design/methodology/approach: Three types of numerical models are investigated. Linear and non-linear 2D models developed in Matlab program, and 3D nonlinear model developed in Ansys software. Findings: The system model of entire hydraulic damper and detail numerical 2/3 D model of the spring washers stack including the boundary conditions for simplified and advanced analysis were developed. Research limitations/implications: It is important to provide a model functionality allowing for calculation of spring washer stacks groups having the opening limiter. Spring washer stack stress and opening characteristics vs. applied pressure are determined with simplified analytically derived model and full 2D model including almost all significant forces and moments in a stack of circular plates. An advantage of a simplified spring washer stack model is possibility of its rapid engineering calculations, e.g. performed in Matlab. Practical implications: The valve model allows to determine the critical von Misses stress level and fatigue critical limit in elastic components of a valve system. Damper force and valve durability expressed in life-cycles are the optimization criteria considered during selection and tuning of a valve system. Originality/value: A new valve system was developed in two versions, i.e. simplified and advanced. The model allows durability prediction at the design stage reducing the testing costs of low-performance valve systems.
