Cover Story: Rotary shaft seals are used in many automotive and industrial applications. The associated challenges increase continuously. Hence, in-depth knowledge of structural mechanics is essential for the design and optimization of such sealing systems. High complexity results are gathered here from the multiscale interactions in the tribological system rotary shaft seal. Both numerical and experimental methods serve to study these effects. Multiscale finite element models allow the simulation of the macroscopic deformations of the sealing ring and the microscopic deformations in the sealing contact. Special test rigs provide visual in situ analyses of the sealing contact in operation. This yields a solid and profound understanding of the multiscale structural mechanics of rotary shaft seals.
