Abstract: The relevance of the compliant contacts operated in elastohydrodynamic lubrication regime has increased during the last decades. Polymers and elastomers have been preferred because of their low-cost production or their ...

Abstract: The paper deals with an experimental study of an elastohydrodynamic contact under insufficient lubricant supply. Theoretical studies published in this research area focus mainly on the development of theoretical models, ...

Abstract: The behavior of roughness features under rolling–sliding inside highly loaded elastohydrodynamically lubricated (EHL) contacts is studied in detail for many years now. In particular, the roughness deformation was subject ...

Abstract: The influence of the grease-water two-phase emulsion on the bearing tracks on the film formation has been studied by carrying out optical interferometry experiments on a ball disk test rig to observe the dynamic film-forming ...

Abstract: The present paper deals with an investigation of film formation in compliant lubricated contact. Despite these contacts can be found in many applications of daily life including both biological and technical fields, so far ...
