Abstract:The sealing performance of a hydraulic system is determined by the joint’s interfacial contact status, which is impacted by unavoidable assembly errors and joint manufacturing deviations on multiple scales. A novel geometric analysis model was heuristically developed for incorporating the macroscopic and mesoscopic topographies into the accurate estimation of the contact surfaces' initial relative assembly position. The microscopic contact model is subsequently constructed using the reverse reconstruction meth… Show more
