The main objective in the “Optimization of gate leaf of Automatic outflow regulating gate system” is to achieve suitable design for Gate leaf proper. Finite element analysis of Gate leaf proper is taken for the study. Structural systems of Gate leaf can be easily analyzed using Finite Element techniques. So firstly a proper Finite Element Model is developed using Cad software Creo 1.0. Then static analysis is done to determine the Equivalent stresses, shear stress & total deformations etc in the present design for the given loading conditions in gate close position as well as gate open position using Finite Element Analysis Software ANSYS v 12. The analysis of gate leaf shows that stresses under both loading conditions are well below permissible limit. The new designed & optimized gate leaf is also analyzed to determine the von Misses stress, shear stress etc. Compared to existing design of gate leaf, new designed gate leaf has 30.38% less in weight while satisfying the permissible stress condition.
