The performance of slide bearings in forestry machines and equipment is largely determined by the load-carrying capacity and antifriction qualities that depend on the bearing capacity of the sleeve (insert) material, the design rigidity and the nature of the forces during operation. As a result, the bearing materials undergo cyclic changes in the state of the sleeve material, as well as the elements that provide reinforcing, heat-conducting and anti-wear functions. The paper shows the results of research on the stress-strain behavior of anisotropic composite materials in the structures of wood-metal slide bearings. A method for ensuring vibration stability is proposed. It is based on maintaining the damping properties of the support that change in the course of wearing. The functionality of the developed program, which is used to solve the contact and thermal issues in the design of slide bearings, is described. A wood-metal material for making bearing sleeves and inserts from laminated compositions was created and studied. The compositions include a vibration-absorbing and fine-fractional component in a vibration-weighted state and a layered structure heterogeneous in thickness of the sleeve, characterized by a variable elastic modulus, that provides damping properties. The proposed design of a slide bearing using this material is focused on its use mainly in the conditions of shock-cyclic loading, which is typical for operation of most forestry machines and equipment.
The choice of possible ways for machinery quality increase must be based on the investigation results of wear regularities and also on the experimental data obtained in the course of laboratory nature and production method use with the aid corresponding equipment use. The purpose of the work is updating methods and means for the estimate of tribo-technical unit operation parameters. Tribo-technical tests must reproduce a wide range of events taking place at different interactions of machinery surface layers with wear environment under different conditions of operation. The more trustworthy the estimated figures in the course of the experiments carried out, the larger potentialities for quality increase of products manufactured. To obtain reliable data the essential condition is the reproduction of conditions taking place in the course of the operation of the samples under investigation. The modeling of parts wear processes on the plants presented and reproducing wear mechanisms under conditions of operation allows revealing the peculiarities of a contact interaction, wear regularities and defining the efficient ways for parts life increase ensuring proper quality of products manufactured. The methods and equipment developed for tribo-technical parameter estimate allow characterizing more precisely the values of physical stress-strain properties of materials under investigation and sure forecasting the working capacity of friction units under specified conditions of operation.
The use of modified wood in different friction pairs of timber machines and processing equipment is largely due to its high wear resistance, low coefficient of friction and good dissipative characteristics. The positive properties of composite materials are achieved by using technologies of volumetric modification and implantation of antifriction and heatconducting elements, as well as by forming a composite of crushed wood with the addition of modifying additives and three-dimensional reinforcement. The expansion of the scope of using composite materials in the designs of units with sliding friction pairs necessitates carrying out research on their performance and formation conditions for high level tribotechnical parameters: wear resistance, antifriction, heat resistance, etc. Lack of information on the effect from the factors providing the functional characteristics of wood-based materials including thermal conductivity and vibration absorption significantly complicates the problem analysis in design and technology when developing and producing bearing joints. Therefore, the purpose of this work was studying the conditions of contact interaction of plain bearings made of wood-metal composite materials, allowing for rheological effects, and developing the ways of control their tribotechnical parameters by changing the structure, composition and phase filler. Models of bearings of different types, which allow creating a regulated stress-strain state in sleeves and liners, were developed for these purposes. Research of the bearings performance made it possible to find vibration-damping properties when using suspended crushed fractions in the composite. Increased antifriction properties are achieved in the process of wood modification with electrolytic copper, while the manufacturability of a bearing sleeve is achieved when the support is formed directly at the installation site. Unlike most of the used antifriction materials, the bushings wood maintains the stability of structure in conditions of volumetric compression at negative and positive temperatures, and the wear processes occurring on the contact surfaces of wood-metal bearings are followed by the compaction of the sleeve material. The subsequent destruction is predominantly of fatigue nature, initiated by the dynamics of vibrations and disturbances of the system; therefore, an important part of further research is the assessment of the relaxation ability of wood-metal composites under shock-vibration loading with optimization of their composition according to this criterion.
