...Azam Thatte; Richard F. Salant A visco-elastohydrodynamic model of a hydraulic rod seal during transient operation has been developed. The model includes analyses of the macro- and microscale deformation mechanics and contact mechanics, and the microscale fluid mechanics. Viscoelasticity enters...

...Azam Thatte; Richard F. Salant A soft elastohydrodynamic model of a reciprocating elastomeric hydraulic rod seal has been developed. It consists of coupled fluid mechanics, contact mechanics, and deformation analyses. The model has been used to analyze a U-cup lip seal in an injection molding...

..., specifically the rod speed and sealed pressure, affect seal leakage. The analysis of a reciprocating rod seal, comprised of coupled steady state fluid mechanics, deformation mechanics, and contact mechanics analyses, with an iterative computational procedure, is described in detail in Refs. 16 17...

...Bo Yang; Richard F. Salant A numerical model of a tandem reciprocating hydraulic rod seal, consisting of two elastomeric U cup seals, has been constructed. It is applicable to cases in which the stroke length is significantly larger than the seal width. The model consists of coupled steady state...

...Richard F. Salant; Nicholas Maser; Bo Yang A numerical model of an elastomeric reciprocating hydraulic rod seal has been constructed. The model consists of coupled fluid mechanics, deformation mechanics, and contact mechanics analyses, with an iterative computational procedure. The fluid mechanics...
