Abstract: The governing equations together with a solution methodology are given which enables one to effectively handle an EHL line contact problem with simple non-Newtonian fluids including thermal ...

Abstract: Thermoelastohydrodynamic analysis of a powder slurry containing a mixture of MoS2 particles and a carrier fluid is presented for a line-contact configuration. The constitutive equation of the ...

Abstract: The rheological effects of lubricants and the surface deformation of disks are considered in the lubrication of line contacts. The lubrication equation for fluids obeying power law model has ...

Abstract: Surface distress in the form of contact fatigue is encountered in cam-roller systems. The contact fatigue appears to be initiated at micrometer-scale subsurface region. High stress is a result ...

Abstract: A three-dimensional computational thermal contact model is developed. The approach utilizes a combination of the transfer matrix and finite element methods. The frictional heat generated at the ...

Abstract: Most machine elements, such as gears and bearings, are operated in the mixed lubrication region. To evaluate lubrication performance for these tribological components, a contact model in mixed ...
