Life Time Prediction of Seals by Numerical Simulation

Predicting the life of rubbery sealing elements used in severe environments, represented by high temperature and/or aggressive fluids, is rather difficult. This paper presents a service life prediction technique based on the principle of chemical deterioration rates and the strain energy density concept that permits to approximate the useful life of an elastomeric sealing element exposed to any severe service environment by means of numerical simulation.
