Abstract:This paper aimed to reveal elastohydrodynamic lubrication characteristics for surface-textured slipper bearing of axial piston pump. The proposed model was established including slipper-tilting motion and surface deformation. Further, a numerical simulation was conducted under hydrodynamic and elastohydrodyamic lubrication conditions. Numerical solutions were obtained under this lubrication conditions in terms of the film pressure, film thicknesses, and bearing stiffness. The simulation results reveal that the… Show more

“…In 2020, Tang’s research group developed a transient thermal elastohydrodynamic textured slipper bearing model with consideration of thermal distortion and deformation caused by the hydrostatic pressure. 16 This model calculates the hydrodynamic pressure and temperature distribution of the slipper pad for fluid friction operation only. The microhydrodynamic effects and the asperities contact friction acting on the slipper pad in mixed friction regime is neglected.…”
The spherical dimple texture have been designed on the rough surface of slipper bearing for improving the lubrication performance in axial piston pump. In this work, we have investigated and optimized the structure parameters of textures to obtain minimum friction coefficient as well as maximum loading capacity. Optimization of the geometry parameters of dimple texture by the integration of a hybrid evolutionary optimization method based on the sequential quadratic programming and genetic algorithm. Parametric analysis is applied for the evaluation of the impact level of geometry parameters on lubrication performance. The results shows that hybrid genetic method can be used for the optimization of slipper bearing with spherical dimple textures to generate lower friction coefficient and greater capacity of load carrying. The carrying capacity and friction coefficient of slipper bearing demonstrate a 64.8% and 4.5% improvements after multi-objective optimization. When the texture radius and depth are set to 18 µm and 0.8 µm, there exists the greatest load carrying force and lowest friction coefficient. This work presents a key designing guide for axial piston pump textured slipper bearings.

Section: Mathematical Model Of the Starting Torquementioning
The starting torque of self-lubricating spherical plain bearings (SSPBs) is a key parameter for evaluating the performance of bearings. Therefore, the starting torque of SSPBs should be controlled to within an allowable range. In this paper, the starting torque generation mechanism is analyzed, and the critical load for the separation of the liner from the outer spherical surface of the inner ring is determined. A mathematical model of the starting torque is established; the experimental and theoretical results of the starting torque are compared and analyzed, and then the accuracy of the mathematical model is evaluated by the deterministic coefficient R2. The research reveals that a critical load exists for the starting torque. Below the critical load, the starting torque is dependent on the outer spherical radius of the inner ring, bearing wrap angle, and liner parameters such as the compressive elastic modulus, friction coefficient, and precompression of the liner; however, the starting torque is independent of the radial load. Above the critical load, the starting torque is also dependent on the radial load. The research results provide a theoretical basis for the design and application of bearings.
This work aims to study the effect of semi-ellipsoid texture on the bearing load capacity and maximum oil film temperature of tilting pad journal bearings. It has been shown that surface texture can improve the steady-state performance of bearings, but there are few studies on tilting pad journal bearings. A thermal elastohydrodynamic model of tilting pad journal bearings have been developed to support the analysis and solved by the finite difference method. The calculation results of the model are in good agreement with the simulation results of MADYN 2000 software, which proves the validity of the model. The effects of texture distribution, depth, radius, and density on the characteristics of tilting pad journal bearings were studied and compared with those of untextured tilting pad journal bearings. The results show that texture can significantly enhance or weaken the steady-state characteristics of tilting pad journal bearings, which is related to the texture parameters. This work provides a reference for the design of tilting pad journal bearings.
