Abstract: The paper describes a technique for solving the inverse lubrication problem under point contact elastohydrodynamic conditions, i.e. the calculation of a film thickness and shape corresponding to ...

Abstract: The paper describes a numerical procedure for solving the point-contact elastohydrodynamic lubrication problem under isothermal conditions at moderate loads. Results are presented showing the shape ...

Abstract: The paper describes an elastohydrodynamic lubrication (EHL) model for collapse of the film in a contact of finite width between surfaces which have roughness aligned transverse to that of ...

Abstract: The paper describes an elastohydrodynamic lubrication (EHL) analysis of heavily loaded contacts between the teeth of Wildhaber-Novikov (W-N) circular arc gears. The contacts occurring in gears of ...

Abstract: The paper describes the results of the analysis of elastohydrodynamic (EHD) lubrication of an elliptical contact between a rough, stationary surface and a smooth, moving surface. Roughness takes ...

Abstract: The paper presents results obtained using a transient analysis technique for point contact elastohydrodynamic lubrication (EHL) problems based on a formulation that couples the elastic and ...

Abstract: The paper is concerned with prediction of elastic contact and elastohydrodynamic film thickness in worm gears. Using the undeformed geometry of the gap between gear teeth in contact a ...

Abstract: The paper describes a full elastohydrodynamic lubrication analysis for circumferentially grooved rollers. Isothermal conditions are assumed and the form of the grooves is sinusoidal. Results are ...

Abstract: Scuffing experiments were conducted using 76mm diameter disks both with and without a metal-containing, carbon-based hard coating. The operating conditions in the experiments were severe with ...
