Abstract

This paper presents a numerical method for modelling wear in spherical composite liner bearings. These are bearings that have two rings with spherical surfaces to form a ball joint. The concave spherical surface of the outer ring is lined with a thin composite liner material which is a made of a woven fabric impregnated with a thermoset resin. Two fibre types are used in the fabric, a structural fibre and a solid lubricant fibre. The liner is made up of two fabric layers impregnated with resin that are bonded together between heated pressure plates. The surface layer has a high proportion of the solid lubricant fibre in its weave whilst the backing layer has a predominance of structural fibres with fewer lubricant fibres. These bearings are used extensively in reciprocating motion applications in the aerospace industry.
