In present work, in order to optimize partial slip zone for heavily loaded journal bearings, an
isothermal hydrodynamic model considering wall slip occurring at oil-bush interface is built …

Misalignment is a prevalent problem in rotor machinery. This paper proposes a numerical
analysis for the mixed EHL of finite-line contacts considering tilting loads based on FEM. The …

This paper describes a new computational fluid dynamics methodology for modelling
elastohydrodynamic contacts. A finite-volume technique is implemented in the …

This work investigates the governing mechanisms of minimum film thickness in
elastohydrodynamic lubricated contacts. Up until now, it was thought to be governed by …

Reducing friction is of utmost importance to improve efficiency and lifetime of many products
used in our daily lives. Thin hard coatings like diamond-like carbon (DLC) have been shown …

This paper identifies the different friction regimes encountered in elastohydrodynamic
lubricated point contacts using a quantitative, physics-based approach. The idea is to link …

This paper presents a finite element model for the solution of thermal elastohydrodynamic
lubrication in coated circular contacts. The model is based on a full-system finite element …

The Reynolds equation, combined with the Elrod algorithm for including the effect of
cavitation, resembles a nonlinear convection–diffusion–reaction (CDR) equation. Its solution …

The objectives of this study were to investigate the effects of elastohydrodynamic lubrication
pressure on the rolling contact fatigue life of non-conformal contacts. In order to achieve the …

The supervised adaptive method (SAM) is introduced to rapidly and robustly solve
lubrication problems of conformal friction pairs, especially under extremely severe mixed …
