Abstract: An unpressurized, elastomeric O-Ring seal inserted into a rectangular groove is analysed numerically and experimentally. The salient parameters characterizing the seal deformed geometry and stress ...

Abstract: A purely flexural mechanical analysis is presented for a thin, solid, circular plate, deflected by a central transverse concentrated force, and bilaterally supported along two antipodal periphery ...

Abstract: This paper deals with the study of the elastohydrodynamic lubrication in elastomeric rectangular seals with rounded edges. The photoelastic and the numerical methods are employed in the determination ...

Abstract: An annular plate clamped at the inner rim, free at the outer edge and loaded at an arbitrary point by a concentrated force is mechanically analyzed via a purely flexural model. A series ...
