Abstract
Silicone rubber wire seals are widely used in automotive connector systems for waterproofing and so on. The purpose of this paper is to predict and evaluate the sealing performance of wire seals using finite element analysis. The material properties of the rubber seals were determined by the curve fitting of uniaxial tensile test and equibiaxial tensile test data. The response surface method was used to determine the optimum shape of the wire seal. In order to verify the accuracy and reliability of the simulations on the deformation prediction of wire seals, experiments were also carried out.
