Abstract: The effect of material properties upon the film thickness in elastohydrodynamic point contact is demonstrated with a rolling ball and plate machine. A 220 fold range of Young’s modulus is ...

Abstract: The behavior in the lubricated contact area of a driven ball sliding in a conforming glass groove, is studied. Interferometry is used to measure the oil film. Coupled ball surface velocity ...

Abstract: In this paper, a numerical solution to the elastohydrodynamic lubrication (EHL) problem is presented for a cylindrical roller with axially profiled ends, rolling over a flat plane. Convergence ...

Abstract: This paper describes an approximate analysis for finding the elastostatic radial and end face distortion, radial pressure distribution, and solid body rotation of a flat ended axially profiled ...

Abstract: In this paper, the radial and axial vibrations of a rigid shaft supported by a pair of angular contact ball bearings are studied. The effect on the shaft vibration of varying the preload ...

Abstract: A steel ball is dropped onto a glass plate covered by an oil droplet where impact occurs. A small manganin pressure transducer deposited on the plate and in the oil, enables pressure-time ...

Abstract: This paper outlines a five degrees of freedom model of a rotating spindle supported by a pair of lubricated angular contact ball bearings. The ball to raceway contacts are simulated by ...
