Abstract
A theoretical approach is described which overcomes the problems of convergence previously associated with obtaining solutions of the elastohydrodynamic equations for a reciprocating, rectangular section rubber seal. Convergence of this method is extremely rapid. Results are presented which illustrate that it is suitable both for instrokes and outstrokes at realistic sealed pressures. Experimental measurements of pressure distribution are presented for comparison.Keywords
