Hydraulic seals are complicated machine elements. The engineering research on hydraulic
reciprocating seals, which commenced roughly in the 1930s, has achieved a basic …

Rubber O-rings are widely applied in the static and dynamic seals of machinery, energy,
chemical, aviation, and other fields. Mechanical behavior and sealing performance of the O …

The need for a methodology to determine the stiffness characteristics of elastomeric seals
with complex geometry has prompted an investigation using a commercially available finite …

Elastomeric (rubber-like) materials are extensively used in various machine design
applications, particularly for flexible elements of vibration/shock/noise control devices and of …

The work presented in this paper describes a new approach to calculate the film profile,
friction, and fluid transport of a reciprocating U-cup seal used in a hydraulic piston pump. An …

The sealing capability of an elastomeric O-ring seal depends upon the contact stresses that
develop between the O-ring and the surfaces with which it comes into contact. It has been …

This paper revisits the classical O-ring problem by using an experimental, finite element
analysis and conventional theories. Especially, the elastic moduli, deformation shape …

Multi-lip reciprocating seals are extensively used in the subject of engineering equipment.
However, the current research on the tribology of reciprocating seals mainly focused focuses …

Metal sealing system is used frequently in the dynamic rotary seal of downhole tools of
petroleum, natural gas and mining. Mechanical behavior and sealing performance of the …

Reciprocating seals are applied in large numbers in fluid power technique. Their function is
to seal spaces under static conditions and during relative, reciprocating motion, so that …
