Abstract: The uncertainty in calculated results of the flow factors greatly limits the application of the average flow model [1] which otherwise is an approach with broad prospects for studying the ...

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. ...

Abstract: The assumption of axisymmetry, employed by most of studies on piston ring lubrication, probably gives a too idealistic model for the real situation. A theoretical model for a nonaxisymmetrical ...
