  text: Radial shaft seals are used in a variety of applications, where rotating shafts
    in steady housings have to be sealed. Typical examples are crankshafts, camshafts,
    differential gear or hydraulic pumps. In the operating state the elastomeric seal
    ring and the shaft are separated by a lubrication film of just a few micrometers.
    Due to shear strain and fluid friction the contact area is subject to a higher
    temperature than the rest of the seal ring. The stiffness of the elastomeric material
    is intensely influenced by this temperature and thus contact pressure, friction
    and wear also strongly depend on the contact temperature. In order to simulate
    the contact behavior of elastomer seal rings it is essential to use a comprehensive
    approach which takes into consideration the interaction of temperature, friction
    and wear. Based on this idea a macroscopic simulation model has been developed
    at the MEGT. It combines a finite element approach for the simulation of contact
    pressure at different wear states, a semi-analytical approach for the calculation
    of contact temperature and an empirical approach for the calculation of friction.
    In this paper the model setup is presented, as well as simulation and experimental
    results.
