Abstract

The work aims to review the recent research advancements on the performance degradation of rubber seals in complex service environments, with a focus on accelerated test design, performance characterization methods, and degradation mechanisms. Additionally, key challenges in the study of rubber seal aging are analyzed in detail. Future research directions should emphasize the analysis of performance degradation trends of rubber seals in structural equipment under complex service conditions. In particular, investigating degradation mechanisms under multi-factor synergistic effects and developing lifespan prediction models and methodologies will remain critical research priorities.

Key words
