So far, most of the numerical studies concerning elastohydrodynamic point contact lubrication have been realized using finite differences. This paper describes a finite element approach for the modelling of both, thick and ...

The aim of this paper is to study the effects of pressure and temperature dependence of a conventional lubricant's thermal properties on the behaviour of heavily loaded thermal elastohydrodynamic lubrication (TEHL) contacts. ...

This study proposes a numerical investigation of the potential use of machinery working fluids as lubricants in contacts operating under an elastohydrodynamic regime. These fluids are usually of very low viscosity and ...
