The gaskets were examined under assembly conditions, i.e. placed in their seats and loaded with the compressive assembly force with no operating pressure applied to the closure. The electric resistance wire strain gauges were used to measure the circumferential and axial strains at the inner cylindrical surface of the gaskets. The plastic deformations of the contact surface of the seats were measured after disassembly of the closures. The material tests were carried out to determine real mechanical properties of materials applied for the gaskets and the seats. The results of experiment were compared with the analytical approach. The plastic deformations were taken into account in the analytical solution of the contact region between the gasket and the seats. The results of experiment and analytical approach were verified by FEM calculations, which take into account linear hardening of the material, friction and contact effects.}, type={Artykuły / Articles}, title={Experimental investigations of metal high-pressure "2-delta" gasket}, URL={http://rhis.czasopisma.pan.pl/Content/107418/PDF-MASTER/155.pdf}, doi={10.2478/v10180-010-0020-0}, keywords={high-pressure closures, metal "2-delta" gaskets, experimental investigations, FEM}, }
