The Discussion about Thermal Stress Analysis of Spherical Plain Bearings

摘要

Spherical plain bearing was applied widely in industry. In the paper, with the finite element code Abaqus, a sequentially coupled, 3D, and thermal-mechanical finite element analysis model of the bearing system was built up based on the theories of heat transfer, tribology and composite material mechanics. The paper focused on effects of the mean sliding velocity and the load. In the end, the paper mentioned a simulation method of computing wear.
