Abstract: This paper presents a numerical solution for the elastohydrodynamic lubrication in point contacts, using optically measured three-dimensional rough surface profiles as input data. The multi-grid ...

Abstract: Elastohydrodynamic Lubrication (EHL) is commonly known as a mode of fluid-film lubrication in which the mechanism of hydrodynamic film formation is enhanced by surface elastic deformation and ...

Abstract: Engineering practices and analyses have indicated that surface textures and topography may significantly affect the tribological performance of contact interfaces. Such an influence may be complicated ...

Abstract: A full numerical solution for the mixed elastohydrodynamic lubrication (EHL) in point contacts is presented in this paper, using a new numerical approach that is simple and robust, capable of ...

Abstract: In this paper a full numerical solution for the thermoelastohydrodynamic problem in elliptical contacts is presented, and the method of computation is also described. The film pressure, thickness, ...

Abstract: In this paper, we first describe the concept of cooperative intelligent transport systems (C – ITS) and introduce how advanced ITS technology is being developed in some countries. We then review and analyze the policies, ...

Abstract: This paper presents a new numerical method for computing the elastic normal surface displacement field caused by a given normal pressure distribution. The pressure function is approximated by a ...

Abstract: Surface pitting due to contact fatigue is a major failure mode of many mechanical components, such as various gears and rolling-element bearings. Pitting life prediction, therefore, is vital to ...

Abstract: Coatings are widely used for interface performance enhancement and component life improvement, as well as for corrosion prevention and surface decoration. More and more mechanical components, ...
