The mathematical model is established for energy consumption caused by the compression resistance force, damping force of seal venting hole and air bind resistance between two seals during the side swing door closing process. The energy consumption of a certain vehicle's right front door sealing system is calculated by the loop iteration method using VBA language of EXCEL. The results show that total energy consumption of sealing system is 2.78J while three parts energy account for 28%, 25% and 47% respectively. Thus the damping force of seal venting hole and air bind resistance between two seals are important influence factors of seal energy consumption.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
