Abstract: The rheological behavior of oil-in-water emulsions has been studied as a function of oil concentration, shear strain rate, pressure and temperature. Results are discussed and correlated with ...

Abstract: This paper presents a rheological investigation conducted on three lubricants used in space applications under vacuum. Lubricant behavior was determined for representative pressures and temperatures. ...

Abstract: The physical conditions (pressure, shear stress, temperature) generated in an elastohydrodynamic (EHD) contact are the main parameters governing the evolution of the physico-chemical properties of ...

Abstract: The solution of the elastohydrodynamic lubrication (EHL) problem involves the simultaneous resolution of the hydrodynamic (Reynolds equation) and elastic problems (elastic deformation of the contacting ...

Abstract: In the classical Reynolds equation-based modeling of lubrication, the exit area is only considered through a pressure boundary condition which fails to predict the remaining amount of lubricant ...

Abstract: This paper presents a study of the spinning influence on film thickness and friction in EHL circular contacts under isothermal and fully flooded conditions. Pressure and film thickness profiles ...

Abstract: Measurements of viscoelastic parameters as a function of pressure and temperature are reported for the m-bis (m-phenoxy phenoxy) benzene. Infinite frequency shear modulus is compared with the ...
