Abstract: This paper reports some results of rough-surface, elastohydrodynamically lubricated (EHD) contacts obtained using a previously developed transient EHD model. The surface roughness is modeled with ...

Abstract: A computer model for the dry, frictionless contact of real rough surfaces is presented. The model uses data directly recorded from a stylus measuring instrument and as a confirmation of the ...

Abstract: A mathematical model is presented in this paper that can be used to analyze the effect of 3-D surface topography on the thermal, transient micro-elastohydrodynamic lubrication (EHL). The model ...

Abstract: The objective of this paper is to conduct a qualitative analysis on the effects of lubricant shear thinning, lubricant shear heating and the roughness-induced transients on the pressure rippling ...

Abstract: A model is developed to study the tribological behavior of sliding micro-contacts. It provides a building block to the modeling of tribo-contacts in boundary lubrication. Three contact variables ...
