Mathematical model of interface sealing phenomenon in determining design criteria for zero leakage connectors for launch vehicles
Frequency pattern analysis for liquid rocket pump fluid cavitation characteristics
Copper strip seals a high pressure fluid system connector so that it is insensitive to relaxation of the bolt loads. The copper strip is diffusion bonded to the surfaces of the connector flange by application of high pressure and temperature.
Spectral analysis of H-1 oxidizer turbopump cavitation noise
Extremely fine finished surfaces as mating parts for sealing in fluid connectors and statistical analysis of interface leakage
Cyclic loading induced creep in metals for connector gaskets
Superfinished surfaces used on integral connector components to effect separable reusable seal not requiring gasket
