Journal Article
Shabbir, S., Garvey, S., Rothwell, B., & Dakka, S. (2021). Seal Failure In Aerospace Applications -- Creating A Global Open-source Database. Sealing Technology, 2021(2), 7-9. https://doi.org/10.1016/S1350-4789%2821%2900076-3

Seal failure in aerospace applications-creating a global open-source database Seals are essential components used in numerous applications across engineering. A seal is a component that impedes the flow of fluid through a given system. The word 'impe... Read More about Seal Failure In Aerospace Applications -- Creating A Global Open-source Database.

An Experimental Study of Contact Temperatures at Sealing Interface against Varying Shaft Surfaces (2021)
Journal Article
Shabbir, S., Garvey, S. D., Dakka, S. M., & Rothwell, B. C. (2021). An Experimental Study of Contact Temperatures at Sealing Interface against Varying Shaft Surfaces. Coatings, 11(2), Article 156. https://doi.org/10.3390/coatings11020156

Increased temperatures at the sealing interface between the seal and shaft can reduce the working life of a seal through elastomer aging, swelling and increased friction. Degradation of the seal due to increased temperatures can cause pre‐mature fail... Read More about An Experimental Study of Contact Temperatures at Sealing Interface against Varying Shaft Surfaces.

Experimental study of radial lip seals with different sleeve coatings (2020)
Journal Article
Shabbir, S., Garvey, S. D., Dakka, S. M., & Rothwell, B. C. (2020). Experimental study of radial lip seals with different sleeve coatings. Sealing Technology, 2020(3), 5-10. https://doi.org/10.1016/S1350-4789%2820%2930091-X

Radial Lip Seals with pre-loaded garter springs of 8.5oz, 12.5oz and 14oz are tested with 4 different sleeves to investigate various seal-sleeve combinations. To find optimum sleeve coating and seal combinations, leakage and performance is investigat... Read More about Experimental study of radial lip seals with different sleeve coatings.

Heat Transfer of Couette Flow in Micro-channels: an Analytical Model of Seals (2020)
Conference Proceeding
Shabbir, S., Garvey, S. D., Dakka, S. M., & Rothwell, B. C. (2020). Heat Transfer of Couette Flow in Micro-channels: an Analytical Model of Seals

Analytical solutions of the temperature profile of a fluid in a Couette flow between two parallel plates are reported. The upper plate moves in the direction of the flow with a constant velocity and the lower plate is stationary, to simulate the cond...
