...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...

...Bo Yang; Richard F. Salant A numerical soft elastohydrodynamic lubrication model of a reciprocating hydraulic seal has been used to simulate the performance of a U-cup seal and a step seal in a conventional actuator. The model consists of coupled steady state fluid mechanics, deformation mechanics...

... fluid mechanics, deformation mechanics, and contact mechanics analyses, with an iterative computational procedure. The behaviors of the two seals are coupled through the pressure∕density in the interseal region and through flow continuity. Results for a typical tandem seal are compared to those...
