DSC plays a crucial role in optimizing seal performance by leveraging Finite Element Analysis (FEA). By collaborating closely with both manufacturers and end-users, we utilize FEA to:
Tailor Solutions to Specific Needs: Guide customers in selecting seals that meet their unique application requirements, including assembly considerations, stress resistance demands, and specific operating environments.
Enhance Design and Development: Work with manufacturers to simulate seal behavior under real-world operating conditions, enabling the optimization of existing designs and the development of innovative new seal solutions.
Accelerate Product Selection: Significantly reduce the time and cost associated with trial-and-error by identifying potential issues and selecting the most suitable seals early in the design phase.
Improve Product Performance: Predict and mitigate potential problems such as excessive stress concentrations, deformations, and premature wear, leading to enhanced product reliability and durability for our customers.
FEA Methodology
FEA involves dividing the seal into a finite number of elements and applying boundary conditions that accurately reflect real-world operating conditions. High-speed computational software is then used to simulate seal deformation and stress distribution.
Key Insights from FEA
By leveraging FEA in conjunction with close collaboration with manufacturers and end-users, DSC can provide valuable insights and support in selecting the most optimal seal solutions for demanding performance requirements.
