Abstract: This paper presents a deliberately designed elastohydrodynamical lubrication (EHL) experiment for the study of the individual effect of the limiting shear stress and wall slippage. Very slow ...

Abstract: The influences of a single bump (dent) or regularly arranged bumps (dents) on the film thickness in impact circular elasthydrodynamic lubrication (EHL) contacts lubricated with a Newtonian lubricant ...

Abstract: Previous studies about pure squeeze elastohydrodynamic lubrication (EHL) have disclosed a film profile with a central dimple. Two problems about pure squeeze EHL are numerically solved in this ...

Abstract: An alternative decomposition of the strain gradient tensor is proposed in this paper in order to ensure that the deviatoric strain gradient vanishes for an arbitrary volumetric strain field, ...

Abstract: Optimal sewer design aims to find cost-effective solutions for designing sewer networks, and genetic algorithms (GAs) are one of the state-of-the-art optimization techniques that have been applied to this problem. However, ...
