Thermoelastohydrodynamic lubrication for the connecting rod big-end bearing under dynamic loading

摘要

This paper discusses an experimental device used to investigate thermoelasto-hydrodynamic behaviour of connecting rod big-end bearing models. Theoretical results for this device are obtained by calculation with a two-dimensional thermoelastohydrodynamic model. A brief description of both theoretical development and experimental device is presented. After the presentation of measurement results, a comparison with theoretical results is discussed.
