...Nándor Békési; Károly Váradi; Dávid Felhős Modeling of the complex tribological behavior of the elastomer parts is required when designing sliding seal applications. Friction, wear, and lubrication mechanisms of rubber-like materials differ from those in case of metals, ceramics, and rigid polymers...

...A. Shinkarenko; Y. Kligerman; I. Etsion This paper presents a nonlinear theoretical model to study the effect of laser surface texturing on the tribological performance in soft elastohydrodynamic lubrication. Both geometrical and physical nonlinearities of the elastomer are considered by using...

...A. Maoui; M. Hajjam; D. Bonneau This work is a numerical analysis of the thermal effect on the elastohydrodynamic behavior of elastomer radial lip seals. Two thermal approaches are considered, a local approach that determines the distribution of temperature in the contact zone and a simplified...
