ABSTRACT
Elastohydrodynamic lubrication (EHL) is among the most common modes of lubrication, in which hydrodynamic action is significantly enhanced by surface elastic deformation and lubricant viscosity increase due to high pressure. Over the last 70 years, fundamental EHL theories have been established, numerical solution methods developed, and various film thickness formulae derived through curve fitting based on obtained numerical and experimental results. Refer to Chapters 7 and 8 for details.
