FEA-Based U-Cup Seal Optimization
Challenge
Gap extrusion was occurring on a standard U-cup sealing assembly, leading to seal damage and eventual failure. The customer needed to optimize the seal design without changing the housing.
Results
Developed finite element analysis model with reliable constitutive material model and frictional parameters for nonlinear contact behavior. Simulated various seal profiles and clearance gap configurations.
