Abstract: This work presents a comprehensive numerical study of thermal elastohydrodynamic lubrication performance in axially crowned rollers, based on a full-system finite element approach. Axial crowning has always been introduced ...

Abstract: This paper investigates coupling strategies for finite element modeling (FEM) of thermal elastohydrodynamic lubrication (TEHL) problems. The TEHL problem involves a strong coupling between several physics: solid mechanics, ...

Abstract: This paper presents a finite element model for the solution of thermal elastohydrodynamic lubrication in finite line contacts, including edge effects. The model is used to investigate the influence of roller-end axial ...

Abstract: The analysis of the dynamic response of elastohydrodynamic lubricated contacts has often invoked a universal law for lubricant density–pressure dependence, even though the densities of many lubricants exhibit a substantial ...

Abstract: The current work investigates the influence of real lubricant density–pressure behavior on the dynamic response of elastohydrodynamic lubricated conjunctions. Such a response is often based on a nonrealistic universal ...

Abstract: This work presents an exact and general model order reduction (MOR) technique for a fast finite element resolution of elastohydrodynamic lubrication (EHL) problems. The reduction technique is based on the static condensation ...
