Abstract
Hot banding is a typical thermoelastic instability phenomenon that occurs on the sealing surface of the sealing ring in a transmission. The presence of hot banding on sealing contact surfaces causes local wear. The wear of a sealing ring results in the loss of supply pressure and ultimately causes transmission failure. Local wear and hot banding migration also affect each other. This paper has discussed the influence of the wear of the sealing interface on hot banding migration using the general finite element method. A wear simulation procedure, based on Archard's wear law, was used to calculate the wear of the sealing ring, and the thermoelastic effects were also included in the simulation model. An iterative cyclic updating method was performed using the general finite element analysis software. The results of the simulation showed how wear influenced the migration of the hot banding. The worn sealing surfaces lead to more complex migration states of the hot banding, including division and combination of the hot banding. The proposed simulation method and the procedure that was used are suitable for trend analysis of seal design.
