That's how I've been trying to do it, just to get an idea at what pressure the piston will break static friction and start moving into the closed position. The next step would probably be kicking it out of equilibrium and setting up a differential equation of the system.iknowmy3tables wrote: ↑Wed Nov 17, 2021 1:19 pmIt would just involve adding a friction component to the equilibrium a freeze frame in time, one when it's fully open one when it's closed but it also involves an arbitrary increase in spring compression when it's open.
I still didn't figure out the spring constants for the springs I have available to take it into consideration... not sure if going into such accuracy makes sense right now, without knowing the friction force.
The diaphragm design is something I have to look into, but the potential of catastrophic failure is kinda worrying with those.
