Effect of Texture Shape on Texture’s Frictional Response

Abstract

A reasonably designed surface texture can effectively control the frictional properties of the textured substrate. The texture shape has an important influence on the frictional properties of the textured substrate. The ABAQUS software based on the CEL algorithm was used to compare the friction reduction mechanism of the square groove-like texture and the V-shaped groove-like texture, and the uniformity of the texture shape on the frictional properties of the texture was obtained. The simulation results show that the shape of the texture affects the frictional properties of the textured substrate under lubricating conditions by affecting the stress concentration phenomenon generated on the surface of the textured substrate and the hydrodynamic lubrication effect of the texture. This has certain reference significance for the design and selection of texture shapes and the improvement of the accuracy of lubrication models.
