- Abstract
Water-lubricated rubber bearings are one of the most appropriate bearings for underwater use. Because of the configuration and special application environment, numerical simulation is difficult with FEM software and relevant report is rare. The water lubrication is especially interesting in terms of cost and convenience. As a result of capital cost of water-lubricated rubber bearing and time consuming experiment, the numerical approach with FEM prevails. But owning to the petty gap where lubrication fluid is bounded in, the modeling is very difficult. Three dimensional free modal and stress distribution of the bearing are analyzed in numerical simulating with FEM software. The present work of analyzing model is further worthwhile as the model can give yield results according to experiments. The modal and harmonic analyzing results can be used directly in material design and also the improvement of structure.
