... theoretically with full numerical solution of the thermal elastohydrodynamic lubrication. The entrainment velocity was assumed to be along the minor axis of the Hertzian contact ellipse. The waviness of each surface was given by a sinusoidal function. The non-Newtonian flow of the lubricant was described...

...Xiaoling Liu; Peiran Yang In order to investigate the influence of the body temperature of contacting solids on the lubrication performance of machine components, such as gears and roller bearings, a full numerical solution for the thermal elastohydrodynamic lubrication (EHL) problem in circular...

... conditions as well as the heat that is dissipated through the material pair and the nearby surroundings. Possible solutions to alleviate thermal wear mechanisms include using more thermally robust materials and providing better cooling or heat dissipation to reduce the elevated temperatures. The latter...
