The evaluation and prediction of friction and wear performance of the conformal contact surfaces under mixed lubrication, which are quite often in the key components such as mechanical seals and sliding bearings, has drawn more and more attention in the analysis and design of rotary equipment, especially in the high value equipment used by energy, petrochemical, military, etc. However, due to the difficulty of theoretical processing and the limitation of experimental techniques, there are few published works on the deterministic theoretical model and corresponding experimental research which can comprehensively describe the interfacial properties of the conformal contact surfaces under mixed lubrication. In this thesis, a deterministic fluid–solid coupling model and a performance evolution model considering surface wear are established for mixed lubrication of conformal contact surfaces and an experimental design method for accelerated evolution of mixed lubrication performance is proposed. The characteristic and numerical simulation of surface topography of the mixed lubrication friction pair are studied. The proposed models and methods are verified by tribologcial experiments. The research results have important guiding significance for the performance prediction and optimization design of the mixed lubrication of conformal contact surface.Combined with the analysis requirements of the mixed lubrication of conformal contact surfaces, the surface topography characterization methods and parameters were systematically studied. Based on the measured surface topography data, the influence of measurement scale on the topographic parameters closely related to the study of mixed lubrication was investigated. A separation method based on morphological analysis was proposed to realize the separation and extraction of non-periodic features of surface topography, such as the separation of pores, spikes and scratches. A three-dimensional data registration method for surface topography was proposed, which provided a new method for obtaining large-scale and high-resolution surface topography data for the research of mixed lubrication of conformal contact surfaces.The numerical simulation method of surface topography was studied. By introducing stochastic process theory, a new idea of non-Gaussian surface topography simulation was put forward and a corresponding new method was established. The threshold of the auto-correlation function cutoff length required to accurately reproduce the key feature parameters of surface topography was given. This new method is more accurate than the traditional methods in reproducing the skewness and kurtosis values of the surface topography, and the corresponding calculation time is less than that of the traditional methods. A deterministic fluid-solid coupling model of mixed lubrication conformal contact surfaces was established, in which the bidirectional coupling between the fluid lubrication regime and the asperity contact regime was considered. The frictional force calculation method considering the rheological effect of lubricant was used. The applicable dimensionless parameters, initial values of iterative solution procedures and control algorithm of the iterative solution procedures were given. All these works improve the computational efficiency while ensuring the accuracy of the solution. The proposed model is verified by the designed frictional coefficient measurement experiment.Based on the proposed deterministic model of mixed lubrication, combined with the Archard’s wear model, the performance evolution model considering surface wear was established for mixed lubrication of conformal contact surfaces. An experimental design method for accelerated evolution of mixed lubrication performance was proposed. Based on the standard friction and wear test machine, verification experiments of the performance evolution model and the accelerated test design method were designed and implemented.
