A Snapshot of Your Day

As part of seal development, a calculation model must be created to predict the component behavior of the sealing body under different gas pressure conditions.

The calculation program should preferably be programmed in MATLAB. The sealing gap should be depicted rotationally symmetrically in one dimension along the axial direction (1D). To do this, the 1D Reynolds equation must be solved by the use of a finite difference method (FDM) in combination with a 1D finite element method (FEM) of the rotationally symmetrical ring body. Finally, the result of the pressure distribution should be validated with a simple test setup.
