Software models seal's future

Article Abstract:

British Hydraulics Research Group (BHRG) has investigated methods of predicting seal life in engineering. Their Seal Life Methodology marks a progression in the assessment of elastomer suitability. Major petroleum companies, the UK Department of Energy and the UK Ministry of Defence have participated in the project. BHRG has developed computer software to predict seal life under working conditions.

'Shrink bonding' makes joints stronger

Article Abstract:

The combined effects of shrink fitting and adhesive bonding means that high integrity joints can be achieved. The technology is important to the automotive industry, as well as throughout the manufacturing industry. In tests on a new Renault transmission, the shrink fit was reduced to 0.08mm and was combined with a Loctite retaining adhesive which achieved and estimates static torque of 11,300Nm.
