Abstract
In this paper, the dynamic contact characteristics between a piston system and a cylinder block in a spherical pump are studied theoretically and numerically. The theoretical contact model between a piston and a cylinder is established based on its structural and operational properties, to obtain the maximum contact force quantitatively. The effects of different structural parameters and working pressures on the contact force are analyzed and discussed. The relationship between friction coefficient and rotation speed is presented. The contact pairs are modeled numerically using the finite-element method and augmented Lagrange algorithm to obtain both the tangential and normal contact characteristics. Both static and dynamic contact characteristics of the piston are analyzed and discussed. These proposed studies can provide practical suggestions on improving the wear resistance performance and durability of the spherical pump.
