Abstract

A new parameterized finite element model was established for self-lubricating fabric liners in different weaving patterns. This model precisely simulated the spatial configuration of woven yarns with consideration of the cross-section deformation as well as the anisotropic material characteristics of yarns by converting the principal material direction along the yarn-path. Moreover, a set of simple and universal periodic boundary equations was proposed to solve the problem of the overabundance restriction in the boundary surfaces. To verify the validation of the finite element method proposed in this paper, an experimental prediction on elastic constants of self-lubricating fabric liners was carried out. The results indicate that the finite element model can successfully predict the macro mechanical properties of self-lubricating fabric liners with periodical structures. Based on the finite element model, the distributions of stress and strain, as well as the effects of weaving type and weaving density on the elastic modulus of fabric liners were investigated in details.
