Abstract: The Newton-Raphson algorithm was used in conjunction with Murty’s algorithm and the finite-element method to analyze the elastohydrodynamic lubrication of a journal bearing under dynamic loading. ...

Abstract: An approximate method for solving the elastohydrodynamic (EHD) lubrication problem has been developed. The method is based on two assumptions: the separation of variable for pressure and a ...

Abstract: Finite-element techniques are applied to solve the elastohydrodynamic finite journal bearing problem. Reynolds’ equation for the fluid film and the three-dimensional elasticity equations for the ...

Abstract: A numerical procedure is developed for studying the pressure and stress distributions resulting from the contact of two elastic bodies. The pressure distribution is obtained by a quadratic ...

Abstract: The finite-element method is used to solve the compressible Reynolds equation which governs the fluid flow between the journal surface and the leaves in a multileaf journal bearing. The solution ...

Abstract: The elastohydrodynamic lubrication of an automotive piston was analyzed. The important effects of thermal and pressure distortions were demonstrated by analyzing two piston skirts which have ...
