Dynamic Tangential Contact Stiffness and Damping Model of the Solid–Liquid Interface

Abstract

In order to establish the tangential contact stiffness and damping model of the solid–liquid interface by tangential exciting vibration force under mixed lubrication, the finite difference method was firstly used to solve the average flow equation considering the effect of roughness on the lubrication effect, and the bearing capacity, shear force, and friction coefficient of the oil film were obtained, and thereby the dynamic tangential contact stiffness and damping of the oil film under tangential harmonic excitation were calculated. Then, according to the relationship between the normal deformation and the load of the solid contact microconvex body in the elastic/elastic–plastic/plastic deformation stage, integrating the tangential stick–slip theory, considering the effect of fluid lubrication on the solid contact friction coefficient, and tangential dynamic excitation, the tangential contact stiffness and damping of the microconvex body in three deformation stages were calculated. Furthermore, the dynamic tangential contact stiffness and damping of the solid–liquid interface were obtained by summing the solid surface contact part and the solid–liquid contact part in parallel according to the assumption of microconvex Gaussian distribution. Finally, through simulation analysis and experiments, the variation of the tangential dynamic contact stiffness and damping of the solid–liquid interface with normal load, tangential exciting frequency, and displacement amplitude was revealed and verified.
