Abstract: In this paper, an isothermal study of the shut down process of elastohydrodynamic lubrication under a constant load is performed. The surface mean velocity is decreased linearly from the initial ...

Abstract: In this paper, the start-up process of line contact elastohydrodynamic lubrication with a stationary central surface pocket is studied. The solution of the pressure profile and film thickness ...

Abstract: In this paper a model is presented to investigate the start up condition in elastohydrodynamic lubrication. During start up the lubrication condition falls into the mixed lubrication regime. The ...

Abstract: A numerical model of surface temperature rise in elastohydrodynamic lubrication start up process is presented. The frictional heat flux is modeled as the product of lubricated contact pressure ...

Abstract: During start up and shut down of heavily loaded rolling/sliding contacts, the lubricant film separating the surfaces is extremely thin and not fully developed. The load is supported by both ...
