Most of wear calculations for clearance joint are very complicated and the accuracy and efficiency can not be satisfied simultaneously
and the dynamic wear analysis rarely combines with the dynamics analysis of clearance joint system considering the effect of different surface contact stiffness. A dynamic wear analysis for joint clearance considering different contact stiffness is proposed. The mass-less-link and spring-damping model is adopted to conduct dynamics analysis of clearance joint system considering different contact stiffness. The nonsymmetric Winkler surface model is taken to evaluate the contact pressure distribution
and the Archard wear theory is employed to calculate the worn mass of contact surface. The surface profile renews at real time with the wear calculation result
then the dynamic wear prediction of clearance joint is acquired. The dynamic wear trend for different contact stiffness is discussed. The proposed strategy fully considers the effects of contact stiffness on the dynamic wear of clearance joint
and reflects the dynamic wear trend of clearance joint surface for different contact stiffness with higher accuracy and efficiency.
