Abstract
In order to study the influence of friction coefficient on the stiffness of disc spring, A series of disc springs (D = 71 mm) were selected in this paper. The tension and compression experiments of disc spring components were carried out by universal testing machine. The load-displacement characteristic curves of disc springs with different friction surfaces were obtained. The results show that in the loading process, the friction effect hinders the increase of the deformation of the disc spring, so that the actual stiffness of the disc spring is improved and the actual compensation amount is reduced, so this result is worthy of attention. In order to further study the influence of friction coefficient on the loading process of disc spring, according to the load-deformation formula of disc spring in A-L method, the tangential stress caused by friction is added, and the stiffness calculation model of corresponding disc spring is established by Workbench finite element software. The coefficients of different friction surfaces are used as variables for numerical calculation. The results show that the theoretical calculation, numerical calculation and experimental results of stiffness increase with the increase of friction coefficient under 0.55h (the compensation displacement of A71 disc spring under the working displacement of corrugated tube ±10 mm). Among them, the numerical calculation results are close to the experimental results, and the error value is less than 1%. The numerical calculation results are corrected by using the experimental data, and the corrected model calculation results are in good agreement with the measured results.
