Contact Pressure and Strain Energy Density of Hyperelastic U-shaped Monolithic Seals under Axial and Radial Compressions in an Insulating Joint: A Numerical Study

Contact Pressure and Strain Energy Density of Hyperelastic U-shaped Monolithic Seals under Axial and Radial Compressions in an Insulating Joint: A Numerical Study

In insulation joints, elastomeric U-shaped monolithic seals (UMSs) are replacing O-ring systems because of their enhanced sealing capabilities for the oil and gas industries. UMSs are compressed axially during assembly and radially when pressurized in operation. The reliability of UMSs due to the di...
