Abstract
The mechanical properties of a commercial elastomer in use for axial and radial rolling bearing seals have been experimentally determined by means of biaxial, uniaxial and compresison tests. A finite-element program has been developed for large hyperelastic deformations, and a numerical analysis of the stress-strain field in the seal investigated has been performed. In this program, mechanical properties of the rubber are described by means of an experimentally determined constitutive relationship. The numerical results have been verified in the experiments, but substantial additional work is required before the analytical methods can be used with complete effectiveness.
