The generalized axisymmetric model of rubber rotating lip seals was established.A finite element simulation method was developed at the base of the secondary development of Abaqus/Python and the Abaqus/ALE adaptive meshing technology,whose validity was verified by the experimental results.Compared with the three-dimensional wear model,the new method can significantly improve the computation efficiency at no expense of numerical accuracy.Based on this method,the influence of different working condition parameters on seals was studied.The results show that the wear degree of the air side of the main lip is more serious than that of the oil side in the early stage of wear,and the wear degree of the oil side gradually exceeds that of the air side as the wear time increases.The rotational speed has less influence on the wear,and the main lip contour lines with different rotational speed are roughly parallel at the same wear time.On contrast,the assembly interference has significant influence on wear,but the main lip contour lines under different interference are also roughly parallel.The spring clamping force also has great influences on wear.As the spring clamping force increases,the wear degree on the oil side becomes more severe.
