Abstract: A full numerical solution for the mixed elastohydrodynamic lubrication (EHL) in point contacts is presented in this paper, using a new numerical approach that is simple and robust, capable of ...

Abstract: The objective of the present work is to investigate experimentally and numerically the influences of surface roughness, produced by typical machining processes, on friction performances in ...

Abstract: An elastic contact model for three-dimensional layered or coated materials under coupled normal and tangential loads, with consideration of partial slip effects, has been developed in this paper. ...

Abstract: This paper presents a mathematical model for piston skirts in mixed lubrication. It takes into account the effects of surface waviness, roughness, piston skirt surface profile, bulk elastic ...

Abstract: This paper presents a transient thermal model for mixed lubrication problems in point contacts. The model deterministically calculates pressure and surface temperature by simultaneously solving a ...

Abstract: This paper presents a numerical approach to simulate sliding friction between engineering surfaces with 3D roughness in point contacts. The numerical approach is developed on the basis of the ...
