Abstract Reciprocating seals are vital components in hydraulic systems. As a kind of reciprocating seal, the glyd-ring is commonly used as a piston seal. For the sealing characteristics of aircraft glyd-ring under severe working conditions, systematic research and experimental verification are not sufficient. The liquid-solid coupling model based on mixed lubrication theory is established in order to analyze the characteristics of the glyd-ring seal in the cylinder piston. The contact stress distribution on the glyd-ring under different fluid pressures or temperatures is discussed through finite element analysis. The mechanical analysis of solids and fluids are carried out separately, and the thickness of the fluid film is continuously updated until the results of the deformation analysis converged. According to the calculation results obtained by this model, three characteristics of the glyd-ring seal (static contact pressure, film thickness, friction force) are discussed. As the fluid pressure rises, the contact pressure in the sealing area increases by a rate which is greater than that of the corresponding fluid pressure, the seal length is shortened, the fluid film thickness is reduced, and the frictional force gradually increases, this force increase is proved by test data. As the temperature rises, the contact pressure in the seal area (near the O-ring) increases by a rate which is greater than that of the corresponding fluid pressure, the seal length increases, the oil film thickness decreases, and the frictional force increases significantly.

The Finite Element Model

Purpose This paper aims to research the influence of pressure, friction factors, roughness and actuating speed to the mixed lubrication models of outstroke and instroke. Design/methodology/approach Mixed lubrication model is solved by finite volume method, which consists of coupled fluid mechanics, deformation mechanics and contact mechanics analyses. The influence of friction factor on the finite element model is also considered. Then, contact pressure, film thickness, friction and leakage have been studied. Findings It was found that the amount of leakage is sensitive to the film thickness. The larger the film thickness is, the greater the influence received from the friction factor, however, the effect of oil film on the friction is negligible. The friction is determined mainly by the contact pressure. The trend of friction and leakage influenced by actuating velocity and roughness is also obtained. Originality/value The influence of friction factor on the finite element model is considered. This can make the calculation more accurate.

Abstract The purpose of this study is to investigate the role of the misalignment journal, caused by journal elastic deformation, on the transient wear and mixed lubrication performances using a numerical model. In the numerical model, the transient geometry lubrication clearance considering the journal misalignment, the transient elastic deformation and the transient wear depth are incorporated to evaluate the transient film thickness during wear process. The evolutions, under different external loads, of the wear depth, wear rate, elastic deformation, film thickness, fluid pressure and contact pressure are calculated by the numerical model. Furthermore, the calculated results of the misaligned journal bearing are compared with those of the aligned journal bearing. The results show that the distributions of the wear depth, film pressure and elastic deformation are asymmetric along the axial direction and the peak values of them shift toward the back end when the journal misalignment is considered. The maximum wear depth, maximum fluid pressure, maximum contact pressure and maximum elastic deformation of the misaligned journal condition are significantly larger than those of the aligned journal condition.

Numerical analyses of finite journal bearings operating with large eccentricity ratios were conducted to better understand the mixed lubrication phenomena in conformal contacts. The average Reynolds equation derived by Patir and Cheng was utilized in the lubrication analysis. The influence function, calculated numerically using the finite element method, was employed to compute the bearing deformation. The effects of bearing surface roughness were incorporated in the present analysis for the calculations of the asperity contact pressure and the asperity contact area. The numerical solutions of the hydrodynamic and asperity contact pressures, lubricant film thickness, and asperity contact area were evaluated based on a simulated bearing-journal geometry. The calculations revealed that the asperity contact pressure may vary significantly along both the width and the circumferential directions. It was also shown that the asperity contacts and the lubricant film thickness were strongly dependent on the bearing width, asperity orientation, and operating conditions.

In the designs and analysis of engine bearings for automobiles, the precise prediction of the lubrication condition in severe condition is important. In the mixed-elasto-hydrodynamic lubrication analysis, the contact between the projections of surface roughness distributed stochastically is usually considered. This paper describes a theoretical model under the mixed lubrication in the microgrooved bearing. In this modeling, it is assumed that the section shape of microgrooved bearing alloy takes the circular arc form. In the part where contact is caused, the contact pressure is calculated by the Hertzian equation. The elastic deformation of the bearing by the mixed pressure with which oil film pressure and contact pressure are mixed by each allotment ratio is considered. Moreover, the balance requirement between the sum total of mixed pressure on bearing surface and the journal load is met. Under such an assumption, the numerical calculation model is newly obtained to predict the bearing performance in the mixed lubrication of microgrooved bearing. The numeric solutions of EHL based on the mixed lubrication are compared with EHL based on the fluid lubrication. The predicted oil film thickness at the center of bearing by the mixed lubrication model is remarkably thin compared with that by the fluid lubrication model. This shows that the load ability of the oil film thickness decreases by generating contact.

Superposition Method

Chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) is a manufacturing process used to remove or planarize metallic, dielectric, or barrier layers on silicon wafers. During polishing, a wafer is pressed against an elastic pad that is flooded with slurry. Prior work has shown that an asymmetrical, subambient pressure develops at the interface between the silicon and the pad during polishing. Since the slurry pressure is on the order of the wafer-on-pad contact stress, the total contact pressure is asymmetrical. This promotes a non-uniform polishing rate, since Preston's equation states that the material removal rate is proportional to the total contact pressure. In order to determine the total contact pressure, experiments were conducted to measure the two-dimensional fluid pressure. A superposition method was then employed to calculate the slurry film thickness by performing an equilibrium analysis of the forces and moments created by the fluid and solid interactions. The film thickness obtained by this method is used to model the slurry pressure using the polar Reynolds' equation. Modeling results qualitatively agree with experiments.

Set Up

The average Reynolds equation and average clearance equation of circular translational polishing (CTP) under the quasi-stable mixed lubrication state are set up in polar coordinates. The distributions of fluid pressure and contact pressure during polishing are numerically analyzed by solving simultaneously these equations along with the contact pressure equation. The effects of various process parameters on hydrodynamic performance of CTP are analyzed. By comparing the distributions of periodic average pressure along radial direction under fully and partially lubricated states, we conclude that carefully controlled CTP under mixed lubrication is beneficial to improving the surface quality and planarity of the wafer.

This paper presents the effect of surface roughness in line contact under isothermal soft mixed lubrication with non-Newtonian based on Power law viscosity model. The time independent modified Reynolds equation, elasticity equation and the load capacity of asperities equation were numerically solved using finite different method, Newton-Raphson method and multigrid multilevel methods to obtain the film pressure profiles, film thickness profiles and contact pressure in the contact regions. The simulation results showed that the the amplitude of surface roughness has a significant effects on the film pressure, film thickness and surface contact pressure in the contact region. The minimum gap between surface, friction coefficient and asperity load increase when the amplitude of surface roughness increases. For increasing surface velocity, the minimum gap between surface increases but asperity load decreases.

In the model intended for short-term loading (such as during the walking cycle) of a human synovial joint in the lower extremities, cartilage lubricated by Newtonian synovial fluid is considered to be incompressible elastic and subchondral bone is considered to be rigid. The model is non-diffusional, i.e. no interstitial fluid flow occurs across the articular surfaces. A simple plane strain case of the human ankle joint is considered. For high steady loading applied in the centre of the stationary tibial arc and for steady sliding of the talar arc, this model shows that individual physiological variations in the geometry of the articular surfaces have only a small effect on the contact stress distribution and the fluid film thickness. If this load is applied eccentrically in the tibial arc, the contact pressure distribution varies more with surface geometry, but the minimum fluid film thickness differs little from that for symmetric loading. The maximum contact pressure is placed eccentrically in this case, but its value is changed only little when compared to the central loading of the same value. In order to explain different distribution patterns of subchondral bone mineralization, it is anticipated that the total load peaks of periodic time-dependent loads are transmitted centrally in some incongruent joints and eccentrically in others.

Part 1 presents a theoretical solution to the problem of lubrication of soft, highly deformed surfaces. It is argued that with this type of contact the inlet and outlet regions can be separated and analysed independently. This approach leads to a single value of non-dimensional film thickness at the point of maximum contact pressure and to a non-dimensional minimum film thickness dependent on the relationship between the inlet and outlet parameters. In Part 2, these results are applied to the problems of a cylinder sliding on an elastomer lined surface, an elastomer lined journal bearing and a sliding O-ring seal.

Lip Seals

In literature the lubrication of rotary lip seals is explained by hydrodynamic action on a microscopic scale. This theory assumes perfect concentricity between the seal and the shaft which in reality seldomly occurs. Focusing on the stern tube seals application, an analysis is performed on the phenomena distorting the axisymmetric operation of rotary lip seals. Radial and angular shaft misalignments together with pressure and temperature gradients have been modelled. The model predictions are validated using a dedicated setup. Additionally, applying the soft-EHL film thickness expressions at the asperity level, an equivalent film thickness along the circumferential direction is estimated. The Reynolds PDE is solved to predict the misalignment-induced hydrodynamic pressure build-up. The film thickness variation derived and accompanying non-uniform contact pressure distribution was shown to be sufficient for hydrodynamic action and, depending on the minimum film thickness, the hydrodynamic pressure build-up can exceed the static contact pressure. Additionally, significant differences were observed between the radial and angular misalignment configurations.
