Lifetime prediction of self-lubricating spherical plain bearings based on physics-of-failure model and accelerated degradation test

A spherical plain bearing (SPB) consists of an inner ring with an outer convex spherical surface and an outer ring bore with inner spherical surface (see Figure 1) [3]. Due to small friction coefficient and no need for lubrication during operation, self-lubricating spherical plain bearings (SSPBs) with self-lubricating liner are widely used in operation and transmission systems in aerospace, nuclear power plants, and ship equipment and they are key components of these systems. SSPBs failure will directly affect the operational reliability and safety of the Yashun WAng Xin FAng Chunhua ZhAng Xun Chen Jinzhong Lu
