Optimization of K-Shaped Metal Sealing Ring for Subsea Tubing Hanger Based on Response Surface Method by Huan Xie, Hongxia Zhang, Yiwei Fan, Liyuan Liu, Wei Zeng

“…Taking these three structural parameters as design variables, with the objectives of improving the contact stress and contact width of the seal ring and reducing the equivalent contact stress, a multiobjective optimization model for the K-shaped seal ring was established. To address the issue of low optimization efficiency due to the need for repeated finite element calculations during the optimization process, quadratic response surface models are established for the sealing performance indicators of the K-shaped seal ring, which were then used as the optimization objective functions to enhance the optimization efficiency. …”
