Force Prediction in the Compression Sealing of an Ultra-thin Elastoviscoplastic Membrane

Creator:

McNeff, Patrick Scot

Abstract:

The objective of this paper is to demonstrate a method for mechanically characterizing a 25 μm thick elastoviscoplastic hemodialysis membrane and for quantifying the force required to use that membrane in compression sealing. First, methods are developed for mechanically characterizing the thin elastoviscoplastic membrane. Then, a finite element model is...
