Abstract: Experimental and theoretical studies of elastohydrodynamically lubricated contacts normally assume static or quasi-static conditions. Nonsteady conditions are, however, very common, e.g., in machine ...

Abstract: The case of a ball bouncing on a flat surface covered by a thin lubricant layer is analyzed theoretically. Both impact and rebound are studied. A Newtonian lubricant and perfect elastic solids ...

Abstract: This paper is a report into an experimental and theoretical investigation of the effect of oil thermal properties on the performance of a tilting-pad thrust bearing. Three oils, namely ...

Abstract: Results of a numerical study of the influence of micro-patterned surfaces in hydrodynamic lubrication of two parallel walls are reported. Two types of parameterized grooves with the same order ...
