Finite Element Analysis of Elastomeric Seals for LIDS
Abstract
Objective: Create a means of evaluating seals w/o prototypes. Motivation: Cost Prototype 54" seal approx.$100k per seal pair FEA license + high end workstation approx. $30k per year. Development time: 6 months lead time for a new seal design Many designs per day (solution time <1 minute) Understanding: Difficult to experimentally measure strains, contact pressure profile, stresses, displacements
