Calculation of EHL Contacts in Mixed Lubrication Regime

摘要

r A calculation model is presented for machine elements operating under mixed lubrication regime. The following conditions are assumed: elastohydrodynamic point contact; stationary rough surface to study pure sliding conditions; non-Newtonian Ree-Eyring fluid model; linear-elastic, ideal-plastic material behaviour and isothermal conditions. Under these constraints some detailed investigations within the mixed lubrication regime are made.
