Contact Analysis of a Rubber Boot Seal
Introduction
Rubber boot seals are used in several industrial applications to protect flexible joints from dirt, dust, humidity and other environmental agents, as well as to prevent leakage of lubricants. In, for example, the automotive industry they are used for joints on the drive shaft among other applications. Many of these joints can undergo large deformations, hence a rubber boot seal needs to be designed to accommodate severe deformation, including both rotation and elongation, without breaking. To accomplish this the seals are generally made from synthetic elastomers that can be exposed to significant stretching without rupturing.
In this example, the deformation of a so-called multi-convolution boot seal connected to a rigid pipe is studied. As the pipe rotates and the seal deforms, the flanges of the seal self-intersect and it also come into contact with the pipe. This causes significant deformation of the rubber.
Model Definition
Figure 1 shows the geometry of the boot seal and the connected pipe. The seal has five convolutions with decreasing radius to seal the pipe to its mating surface.

Figure 1: Model geometry.
The pipe is in the example assumed be rigid and a generic rubber material is used for the boot seal. The mechanical behavior of the rubber is described by a nearly incompressible Yeoh hyperelastic model which isochoric strain energy is given as
where the material constants used are c1 = 100 kPa, c2 = 6 kPa, and c3 = −30 Pa.
The study is divided in two steps. In the first step the seal is mounted on the pipe which has a slightly larger diameter compared to the seal. This will create a shrink fit connection that ensures a tight seal. In the second step, a rotation of 40 degrees around the y-axis is incrementally applied to the bottom of the pipe. Given that the deformation is only applied around a single axis, one symmetry plane is utilized such that only half of the seal is modeled. The bottom of the seal is fixed in both study steps.
Since the pipe and seal are created as two disconnected parts in an assembly, a contact condition is set up between the exterior of the pipe and the interior of the seal. The contact condition also includes Coulomb friction with a friction coefficient equal to 0.7, which is representative for metal to rubber contact. Moreover, as the pipe is rotated the deformation of the seal will be large enough to cause its flanges to self-intersect. To avoid any unphysical overlap of boundaries, self-contact conditions are also set up for both the interior and exterior boundaries. Friction is also considered for these interactions with a friction coefficient equal to 0.8, which is typical for rubber to rubber contact. The Nitsche method is used to implement all contact conditions in the model since it has better accuracy compared to, for example, the penalty method. This is especially important for problems where the contact surfaces undergo large deformations as the seal in this example.
Results and Discussion
Figure 2 shows the deformed shape of the seal at the end of the second step at a 40-degree rotation of the pipe. It can clearly be seen how the flanges at the compressed side of the seal are folded and in contact with themselves. The highest stress in the seal is on the opposite side where it is stretched. Even though there are significant stress concentrations visible, the magnitude is still well below the typical tensile strength of rubber.
Figure 2: Deformed shape and stress distribution.
The deformation at different rotations of the pipe is shown in Figure 3 and the surfaces in contact at the final step are highlighted in Figure 4. In the latter figure on can clearly see that contact occurs between both interior and exterior surface of the seal, but also between the seal and the pipe at different locations.

Notes About the COMSOL Implementation
Self-contact is in COMSOL Multiphysics modeled by selecting the same boundaries as source and destination in a Contact Pair. Here three contact pairs are used, one with an unsymmetric selection to set up contact between the pipe and the interior of the seal, and two with a symmetric selection to define self-contact between the interior and exterior surfaces of the seal.
When modeling self-contact of convoluted surfaces it is recommended to manually control the search distance of the Contact Pair. The automatic search distance is based on the size of the geometry and can lead to false detection of contact points on, for example, the backside of the surface at which considered the contact point is located. Here a much smaller search distance is used for the two contact pairs used for the self-contact. Apart from making the contact search more robust, using a smaller search distance will also improve the performance of the search algorithm.
