Previous studies on corrugated metal gaskets have established that the contact width, contact stress, and surface roughness are important design parameters for optimizing gasket performance. However, the metal gaskets studied previously required a high axial force for the tightening process; in addition that metal gaskets tend to corrode easily. In this study, we examined the deformation mode of a thin stainless gasket using a finite element method (FEM) analysis. A final evaluation was made using a compression examination. The analysis based on the dimension of flat and convex portion. The load, deformation mode, and contact stress were obtained through a simulation. Based on the deformation of the flat and convex portions, the deformation modes were divided into three types. The deformation mode of the thin stainless gasket material has a higher probability of deformation in mode I when the aspect ratio of the length of the flat portion to the length of the convex portion, L/D, increases. © (2013) Trans Tech Publications, Switzerland.
