The Effect of Elastic Deformation on the Load-Carrying Capacity of Textured Sliding Surfaces

Article Preview

Abstract:

In order to study the differences in load-carrying capacity of surface-textured soft materials and stiff materials, a theoretical hydrodynamic model considering elastic deformation is developed for numerical simulation analysis. Minimum oil film thickness at a certain load is computed as an index to evaluate the load-carrying capacity of textured sliding surfaces made of soft materials and stiff materials. The results show that the elastic modulus affects greatly on the load-carrying capacity. In the case of the surface texture with a dimple aspect of 0.05, textured soft materials has a higher load-carrying capacity than that of the stiff materials. In the case of the surface texture with a dimple aspect of 0.01 and only under high loads, textured stiff materials provides a better load-carrying capacity than that of the soft materials.
