Abstract
A mixed-lubrication model considering the oil supply was developed. The elastoplastic model was applied in the asperity contact simulation. The oil-film thickness at the ring–cylinder liner interface was determined using a mass conservation algorithm. The modeling results were compared with experimental results for verification on a reciprocating wear tester. It is found that, under the fully flooded condition, the results of the Greenwood–Trip model and the current model in the middle of the stroke are in accordance with the experimental results, but the results of the current model at the ends of the stroke are closer to the experimental results than the Greenwood–Trip model results are. Under the starved-lubrication condition, the friction coefficient of the current method is closer to the experimental result than that of the Greenwood–Trip model in the entire stroke. Therefore, the model developed in this study is appropriate for mixed lubrication under the fully flooded condition and the starved-lubrication condition. Furthermore, the model was applied to the ring pack of a diesel engine to study the effect of the oil supply on the tribological performance. The results show that the frictional forces under the 1 μm oil supply condition are far larger than those under the sufficient oil supply condition in the middle of the stroke, and so the increase in the frictional force may be used to identify scuffing failure in future studies if the relationships between the frictional forces and the measured vibration signals of the engine are obtained.
