High Order Finite Element Solution of Elastohydrodynamic Lubrication Problems
In this thesis, a high-order finite element scheme, based upon the Discontinuous Galerkin (DG) method, is introduced to solve oneand two-dimensional Elastohydrodynamic Lubrication (EHL) problems (line contact and point contact). This thesis provides an introduction to elastohydrodynamic lubrication, including some history, and a description of the underlying mathematical model which is based up...
متن کاملStabilized 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 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 کاملOn the linear finite element analysis of fully-coupled point contact elastohydrodynamic lubrication problems
The fully coupled approach for the solution of elastohydrodynamic lubrication (EHL) point contact problems requires the numerical solution of the elasticity problem on a large 3D domain. A sufficiently fine computational mesh is required to obtain the elastic deformation solution to the necessary accuracy, and hence a sufficiently accurate EHL point contact solution. This paper discusses the ac...
متن کاملFast and Reduced Full-System Finite Element Solution of Line Contact Elastohydrodynamic Lubrication Problems
This paper presents a reduced full-system finite element solution of elastohydrodynamic lubrication (EHL) problems. It aims to demonstrate the feasibility of this approach by applying it to the simple isothermal Newtonian line contact case. However the proposed model can be easily extended to more complex situations. This model is based on a full-system finite element resolution of the EHL equa...
