Coupled evolution of piston asperity and cylinder bore contour of piston/cylinder pair in axial piston pump

The wear condition of the piston/cylinder pair is crucial to the performance and reliability of the axial piston pump. The hard piston surface, the soft cylinder bore surface, and the interface oil film affects each other during the wear process. Specifically, in the mixed lubrication region, the geometry of the hard piston surface asperity directly affects the wear of soft cylinder bore surface, while the asperities may deform or even degrade when penetrating and sliding against the cylinder bore. So far, there is no suitable method to simulate their coupled evolution. This paper proposed a wear process simulation model considering the real-time interaction between the elasto-plastic deformation of the piston surface asperity, the wear contour of the cylinder bore, and the lubrication condition of the interface. An offline library of the elasto-plastic constitutive behavior of the asperity based on the finite element method (FEM) is established as a part of the simulation model to precisely analyze the deformation and degradation of the asperity and quickly invoke them in the numerical wear process simulation. The simulation and experimental results show that the piston asperity and the cylinder bore contour converge to a steady state after running-in for about 0.5 h. The distribution of the simulated asperity degradation and wear depth is also verified by the experiment.     

Modelling and analysis of metal flowing behaviors in constraining ring rolling of tapered ring with thin wall and three high ribs

Tapered ring with thin wall and three high ribs(TRTWTHR), showing complicated geometry(wall thickness is less than 4 mm and rib height exceeds 20 mm), is extensively utilized to fabricate the critical structural parts of aerospace equipment such as spacecraft cabin, rocket body and fuel tank because of light weight and high carrying capacity. How to fabricate TRTWTHR with high performance is a critical problem that aerospace area needs to solve. In this work, constraining ring rolling(CRR) techn...     

高马赫数V字形钝化前缘平板表面压力特性

针对三维内转式进气道V字形唇口下游面临的严酷压力载荷问题，将唇口简化为V字形钝化前缘平板，在来流马赫数为6的条件下，采用数值模拟结合激波风洞压敏涂料测量方法，研究了半径比R/r = 0 ~ 20（V字形根部倒圆半径R与前缘钝化半径r之比）的平板表面压力演化特性。结果表明，随着R/r增大，V字形钝化前缘产生的三维波系结构发生变化，引起下游平板表面压力演变出4种类型。R/r较小时，V字形钝化前缘激波干扰产生的大范围流动分离，诱导形成了偏离中心线较远的分叉状高压区（Type Ⅰ，分叉型）；随着R/r增大，流动分离减弱，分叉状高压区逐渐消失，由透射激波扫掠壁面所形成的条带状高压和超声速射流对撞所形成的中心线高压区逐渐显露，依次出现过渡型（Type Ⅱ）、严酷型（Type Ⅲ）和渐匀型（Type Ⅳ）压力分布。平板上分叉型和过渡型的压力最大值仅为4.3 ~ 7.2p∞（p∞为来流静压），但V字形钝化前缘处的流场品质恶劣；严酷型的压力最大值，随着射流对撞强度的增强而增大，最高可达19p∞；渐匀型的压力最大值，随着射流对撞强度的减弱，逐渐趋近于二维钝前缘平板产生的压力最大值4p∞。
