Abstract: Inhomogeneities in matrix may significantly affect the performance of mechanical elements, such as possible fatigue life reduction for rolling bearing due to stress concentration induced by inhomogeneities; on the other ...

Abstract: The numerical simulations of surface textures in pointcontact lubrication are conducted based on the unified Reynolds equation model. The textures are numerically produced on one of the interacting surfaces. The lubricant ...

Abstract: Lubrication analysis of rolling bearing is often conducted with assumed operating conditions, which does not consider the effect of internal dynamics of rolling bearing. In this paper, the effects of the applied load and ...

Abstract: This paper discussed the computational accuracy of rough-surface point-contact isothermal elastohydrodynamic lubrication (EHL) analysis by investigating the effects of differential scheme, viscosity-pressure, ...

Abstract: Sliding wear is a significant surface failure mode in many mechanical components. The magnitude of changes in surface topography due to wear may be comparable to or larger than the original ...

Abstract: This paper investigates the effects of differential scheme and mesh density on elastohydrodynamic lubrication (EHL) film thickness based on a full numerical solution with a semi-system approach. ...
