How to Create Trusted Tribological Characterization Data of Soft Polymers as Input for FEM Simulations?
Soft polymers such as the investigated polyurethane, characterized by low Young’s moduli and prone to high shear deflection, are frequently applied in pneumatic cylinders. Their performance and lifetime without external lubrication are highly determined by the friction between seal and shaft and the...
