Asymptotic analysis, regularisation and stable numerical solutions for heavily loaded line EHL contacts: Part 2. Asymptotic and numerical analysis of non-isothermal problems

摘要

An analytical analysis of a line thermal EHL contact under heavily loaded conditions is proposed. The analysis is based on regular matched asymptotic expansions. In particular, a case of relatively small ratio of rolling and sliding frictional stresses is considered. The problem is reduced to an analogue of the isothermal EHL problem by eliminating lubricant temperature from the problem formulation. The further asymptotic and numerical analysis is very similar to the case of the isothermal EHL problem.
