Stabilized Finite Elements for Elastohydrodynamic Lubrication Problems
In this work, we are mainly interested in modelling a particular lubrication regime known as Elastohydrodynamic (EHD). The pressure generated in the conjunction is high enough to induce a significant elastic deformation of the contacting bodies. Therefore a strong coupling between hydrodynamic and elastic effects is involved. A finite element full-system approach is used to model the lubricant ...
متن کاملNumerical Calculations of the Pressure Spike in Elastohydrodynamic Lubrication
The application of advanced multilevel techniques to the solution of the EHL line contact problem has resulted in a multilevel solver of complexity O[n In n). The reduction in computing time thus obtained enables the use of large numbers of nodes and allows detailed study of the pressure spike. Both occurrence and height of the spike as a function of the governing parameters were studied The pa...
متن کاملElastohydrodynamic lubrication of faults
The heat flow paradox provides evidence that a dynamic weakening mechanism may be important in understanding fault friction and rupture. We present here a specific model for dynamic velocity weakening that uses the mechanics of well-studied industrial bearings to explain fault zone processes. An elevated fluid pressure is generated in a thin film of viscous fluid that is sheared between nearly ...
متن کاملElastohydrodynamic Grease Lubrication Theory and Numerical Solution in Line Contacts
In this paper, film thickness and pressure distribution of EHL in line contacts for four kinds of greases and one type of oil are calculated under a series of rolling velocities by wing an inverse solution method. The Herschel-Bulkley model is wed for the rheological characteristics of the grease. Based on the theoretical analysis and numerical calculation, the following influences on film thic...
متن کاملA new numerical approach of a lubrication free boundary problem
A combination of a semidiscretized scheme and an iterative method is applied to a free boundary problem. The considered problem is issued from a cavitation model in lubrication theory and treats on the determination of the cavitation area. Estimates L∞(Ω) which provide the convergence of the approximated solution is obtained. Finally, some numerical test examples are presented to illustrate the...
