Abstract: In many mechanical systems, elastohydrodynamic lubrication (EHL) is apparent in the interfaces between rolling/sliding parts. Even at small slide-to-roll ratios, detailed knowledge about the oil film thickness and the ...

Abstract: In this work, a semi-analytical model replicating 3D rolling contact problems with elastic coating layers has been proposed. The dimension reduced boundary element-based model rests on the conventional half-space assumptions, ...

Abstract: The underlying theory, in this paper, is based on clear physical arguments related to conservation of mass flow and considers both incompressible and compressible fluids. The result of the mathematical modeling is a system ...

Abstract: Wear is a complex phenomenon taking place as two bodies in relative motion are brought into contact with each other. There are many different types of wear, for example, sliding, fretting, surface fatigue, and combinations ...
