Static metal sealing mechanism of a subsea pipeline mechanical connector

The static metal sealing mechanism is essential for the structural design of subsea pipeline mechanical connector. By analyzing the sealing mechanism and contact pressure on sealing face, the critical condition of the seal is obtained. Based on the superposition theorem of elasticity, the formula of...
