Applicability Analysis of Nickel Steel Plate Friction Coefficient Model Based on Fractal Theory.

In the field of aerospace, weapons and other complex assembly, there are more than 50 factors affecting the performance degradation of joint structures, among which the friction coefficient is the main factor. Nickel steel is widely used in large complex equipment due to its advantages of high strength. Therefore, this paper first establishes a theoretical model of friction coefficient based on fractal theory. Secondly, the friction coefficient experiment was carried out to measure the friction coefficient of nickel steel plates with different roughness under different normal loads. Finally, the experimental results are compared with the theoretical results, and the accuracy and error analysis of the model is carried out. The results show that the friction coefficient increases with the increase in roughness. When the normal load is greater than 50 kg, the friction coefficient gradually tends to be stable. The error of identification results of correction factor a was all within 5%. The error between theoretical model prediction and experimental data is 6%–15%, which indicates that the calculation of the friction coefficient has high accuracy. The results of this study can provide data and theoretical support for the friction coefficient evaluation of nickel steel plate joint structures, and contribute to the health detection and reliability evaluation of nickel steel plate joint structures.
