Percolation in Static Seals
It might seem weird to talk about percolation through static seals in a Tribological context. After all, they are static: there is no rubbing, no tribos. However, there is much to learn about percolation through static seals by looking at...
Can full film occur when Lambda = 0.6?
[latexpage] The holy grail of tribologists studying lubricated systems is often to predict the contact lifespan. For this purpose, you can compute the minimum film thickness $h_m$ separating the two bodies... but only if you make the assumption that the...
How does roughness impact your EHD contact?
[latexpage] A bit of context Let’s say you want to design a new car but that you are a new car manufacturer. You can’t really step back and look at your previous experiences, so everything you design in this...
Introduction to Sealing Technology
Let’s start from the beginning: what is a seal? A device or material that is used to close off or fasten an opening or connection, especially to prevent the escape of a liquid or gas. In other words, a seal...
