Abstract: The behavior of the thermal elastohydrodynamic lubrication film in line contacts at dynamic loads is investigated numerically with a forward-iterative procedure. The lubricant is assumed to be ...

Abstract: This paper presents a new numerical method for computing the elastic normal surface displacement field caused by a given normal pressure distribution. The pressure function is approximated by a ...

Abstract: In this paper, a viscosity modification model is developed which can be applied to describe the thin film lubrication problems. The viscosity distribution along the direction normal to solid ...

Abstract: In this paper, a theoretical model for the film thickness prediction of elastohydrodynamic lubrication of elliptical contacts with spinning and rolling/sliding motions is presented, in which 1) ...

Abstract: Contours of surface texture of contact faces are not always parallel to the directions of the axis in solving Reynolds equations with finite difference method, and this often induces significant ...

Abstract: Characteristics of a liquid lubricant film at the nanometer scale are discussed in the present paper. The variations of the film thickness in a central contact region between a glass disk and ...
