Abstract: Finitelength line contact conditions, existing in applications such as gears or roller bearings, lead to subsurface stress distribution influenced by the free boundaries. This paper presents a semianalytical method (SAM) ...

Abstract: Oil–air lubrication is widely used in the highspeed rotary machines; the oil is usually in the form of discrete droplets. The lubrication behavior of the oil droplet is rarely investigated. This paper investigates the ...

Abstract: Elastohydrodynamic lubrication (EHL) analysis in finite line contacts is usually modeled by a finite-length roller contacting with a half-space, which ignores effect of the two free boundaries existing in many applications ...
