Gasket

  • The rubber gasket is modeled as a quarter of a plane strain section, initially in contact with a flat rigid surface.
  • HyperElastic material properties has been used for the gasket.
  • The backbone is modeled with a linear elastic material.
  • Compression of Gasket material has been analyzed. Contact Between the plate and Gasket is also modeled.
  • The following model is solved using CalculiX solver.
