    • Elastic leak of a seal 

      Liu, Qihan; Wang, Zhengjin; Lou, Yucun; Suo, Zhigang (Elsevier BV, 2014)
      An elastomeric seal may leak by elastic deformation without any material damage. We describe elastic leak using a theoretical model, and watch a seal deform and leak using a transparent experimental setup. The elastomer ...

    • Extrusion, slide, and rupture of an elastomeric seal 

      Wang, Zhengjin; Chen, Chao; Liu, Qihan; Lou, Yucun; Suo, Zhigang (Elsevier BV, 2017)
      Elastomeric seals are essential to two great technological advances in oilfields: horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing. This paper describes a method to study elastomeric seals by using the pressure-extrusion curve ...
