I'm looking for any references on how to analyze and design an inflatable seal.
The seal will be an inflatable rubber ring that will be located in an outer groove of a disc which is to seal against the internal diameter of a pipe.
In my research so far I've found many companies that do custom design and fabrication of these things but I haven't found any references on how to actually analyze one.
We have to perform a design check on an existing product, so need to be able to understand how they are typically designed and analyzed.
Thanks
