Deformation Characteristics and Sealing Performance of Metallic O-rings for a Reactor Pressure Vessel
This paper provides a reference to determine the seal performance of metallic O-rings for a reactor pressure vessel (RPV). A nonlinear elastic-plastic model of an O-ring was constructed by the finite element method to analyze its intrinsic properties. It is also validated by experiments on scaled sa...
