Abstract: Abstract. Ward Winer was a pioneer in the high-pressure rheology of liquid lubricants who championed the use of viscometers to understand the rheology of elastohydrodynamic lubrication (EHL). The classical approach to EHL ...

Abstract: Abstract. One of the many contributions of Professor Ward Winer to tribology was his insistence that constitutive equations for liquid lubricants have a basis in empirical fact. He was awarded the 1986 Tribology Gold Medal ...

Abstract: An unbranched perfluoropolyether is the current ball bearing lubricant for deep space flight. We report measurements of viscosity to moderate pressures for the calculation of pressure-viscosity ...

Abstract: The Eyring sinh law is presently the most well-accepted model for shear-thinning of EHD lubricants at high pressure. It was, however, not accepted for this purpose by Eyring, who found it to ...

Abstract: The authors have produced a compelling argument to explain EHL dimple formation as resulting from a temperature-viscosity effect. I believe that their explanation is correct. They have solved ...

Abstract: Recent advances in high pressure rheometry have elucidated the shear response of liquid lubricants at the high shear stress characteristic of the traction generating region of lubricated concentrated ...

Abstract: Bearing life analysis for the rolling element bearings in refrigeration compressors requires an accurate estimate of the film thickness. An alternative is offered here to the experimentally challenging pressure–viscosity ...

Abstract: Quantitative calculations of film thickness and friction in elastohydrodynamic lubrication will require that the low-shear viscosity, μ, be described with far greater accuracy than it is today. ...
