Abstract: Numerical solution of mixed elastohydrodynamic lubrication (EHL) is of great importance for the study of lubrication formation and breakdown, as well as surface failures of mechanical components. However, converged and ...

Abstract: In this study, a modified mixed lubrication model is developed with consideration of machined surface roughness, arbitrary entraining velocity angle, starvation, and cavitation. Model validation is executed by means of ...

Abstract: Numerical simulations of the elastohydrodynamic lubrication (EHL) have been conducted by many researchers, in which the entrainment velocity is usually parallel to one of the axes of Hertzian contact ellipse. However, in ...

Abstract: Spiral bevel and hypoid gears are key components widely used for transmitting significant power in various types of vehicles and engineering machineries. In reality, these gear surfaces are quite rough with threedimensional ...

Abstract: Gear meshing stiffness is the key parameter to study the gear dynamic performance. However, the study on the calculation of gear meshing stiffness considering lubrication, especially mixed lubrication, is still insufficient. ...
