White Paper: Finite Element Analysis, Part 2

This paper is part two of a series on the FEA process for rubber elastomer seals, written by our very own design engineer, Thomas Morgan.

Part one covered the material properties and approximations used with elastomers that are important when running FEA. This paper covers the scenarios that are typically required for a proper and complete design process of sealing elastomers.

Here are just a few of the key insights you’ll gain inside the pages:

1. The Implicit Method (Standard)

2. The Explicit Method

3. Other Scenarios

This white paper on FEA setup is part two of a three-part series on the FEA process for rubber elastomer seals. To read the other parts of this series, check out these links:
