Numerical analyses of the isothermal elasto-hydrodynamic lubrication (EHL) have made
considerable advances in order to identify the most important features in the successful …

A two-dimensional elastohydrodynamic numerical analysis is conducted for a rotary lip seal
with a textured shaft by coupling flow, deformation and contact equations. In this analysis, an …

Regarding the increasing demand in seal lifetime and energy efficiency, a detailed
microscopic simulation is necessary—as an addition to experimental investigations—to …

Radial oil seals prevent leakage in mechanical systems where a rotary shaft passes a
housing interface. Hydrodynamic features are added to augment the self-induced back …

The extensive literature on the elastohydrodynamic analysis of rotary lip seals is reviewed.
Models that predict quantities such as film thickness and reverse pumping rate and that …

It is generally accepted that reverse pumping from the air-side to the liquid-side of rotary lip
seals is coupled to lip asperities shearing deformation due to hydrodynamic effect. Recently …

In the context of this work we present static experimental tests on nitrile-based elastomeric
radial lip seals under different radial loads and with different temperatures. The outcomes of …

A soft elastohydrodynamic lubrication (SEHL) model is presented that consists of a
stationary surface-textured soft elastomer sleeve and a rigid, smooth rotating shaft. The …
