“…Also, the impact of the elastic deformation of the end case/port block on the cylinder block/valve plate interface has been taken into account [40]. An example of virtual prototyping for a single lubricating interface was previously done by changing the sealing land dimensions and material combinations of the valve plate [41]. These researches demonstrated how crucial surface elastic deformations are to the pressure build-up in the thin fluid film due to hydrodynamic effects.…”

This article presents a novel methodology to design swash plate type axial piston machines based on computationally based approach. The methodology focuses on the design of the main lubricating interfaces present in a swash plate type unit: the cylinder block/valve plate, the piston/cylinder, and the slipper/swash plate interface. These interfaces determine the behavior of the machine in term of energy efficiency and durability. The proposed method couples for the first time the numerical models developed at the authors' research center for each separated tribological interface in a single optimization framework. The paper details the optimization procedure, the geometry, and material considered for each part. A physical prototype was also built and tested from the optimal results found from the numerical model. Tests were performed at the authors' lab, confirming the validity of the proposed method.
