... requires the knowledge of other packing seal mechanical characteristics such as compression modulus and Poisson’s ratio. In this paper, the mechanical characteristics of packing seals are obtained using a hybrid experimental-numerical procedure. The experimental study is carried out on an instrumented...

..., it is possible for yielding to occur due to adhesion alone, without an external load. A curve-fit formula is given for the yield load as a function of an adhesion parameter for different Poisson’s ratios. Results are then obtained for the onset of plastic deformation away from the axis of symmetry using...

..., and surface speed. Using the FEM, a parametric study demonstrated that material properties (i.e., modulus of elasticity, yield strength, ultimate strength and Poisson’s ratio) and friction coefficients play significant roles on the height and width of dents on the mating surfaces. For lower friction...
