Numerical Calculations of the Pressure Spike in Elastohydrodynamic Lubrication
نویسنده
چکیده
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 parameter range where a pressure spike can be expected, and the results of spike height calculations, are presented.

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 کاملNumerical Analysis of Grease Film Characteristics in Tapered Roller Bearing Subject to Shaft Deflection
The shaft deflection is one of critical factors that deteriorate the grease lubrication state inside the tapered roller bearings (TRBs). So, in this paper, on the premise of the TRB subjected to the combined loads and the shaft is deflected, the grease lubrication model at the TRB contacts was constructed, in which the interaction loads, linear and angular displacements of the bearing parts wer...

Abstract: The standard decoupled method with Newton-generalized minimum residual procedure performs poorly or may break down when used to solve certain elastohydrodynamic lubrication problems. The authors Zargari et al., 2007 presented decoupled and coupled methods in which the limitations of the decoupled method for some set of physical parameters and slight variation in these values (physical...
متن کاملAn Arbitrary Lagrangian–Eulerian Formulation for Modelling Cavitation in the Elastohydrodynamic Lubrication of Line Contacts
In this article an arbitrary Lagrangian–Eulerian (ALE) formulation for modelling cavitation in elastohydrodynamic lubrication (EHL) is derived and applied to line contact geometry. The method is developed in order to locate the position of cavitation onset along the length of the contacting region which gives the transition from liquid to vapour in the fluid. The ALE is implemented by introduci...
