    Modeling Plastics and how to determine material failure

    Hi I have a general question on whether to use Compression or tension test data for plastics in FEA modeling? I have come across couple of PTFE based plastics where compression modulus is twice as much the tension modulus. For metals I observed it would be nearly the same so doesnt matter which...

    Clamp pressure

    Hello This may be simple but I am unable to calculate this. I have a band clamp pressing a rubber seal tight. I have the torque applied on the band clamp as 5 N-m. How can I convert this torque value into a radial contact pressure acting on the seal surface? I have all the specifications of the...

    Heat Generation by Friction

    Hi I am trying to predict heat generated by friction in rotary seals using Abaqus. I have already completed the analysis however I am not sure whether I did it correctly. I have modeled coupled-temperature displacement steps for the analysis.In the first step I have the assembly of the seal...
