Computer modelling of the sealing behavior of gaskets in flanged joints

Creators

Description

A computer program is described which is designed to predict the gasket stress distribution in flanged joints. The program incorporates finite element modules for calculation of flange deflections in response to loads applied by bolts, gasket and fluid. Account is taken of non-linear gasket load-compression curves and hysteresis, and thermal deflections
