Over the past decades the science of friction has got great development. Processes of friction and wear significantly depend on constructive junction design, selection of wear resistant materials and effective lubricants for them, as well as the conditions of the machinery operation. Currently, a large number of scientific works [7-11, 16-20] are devoted to the review of the contact interaction conditions with the use a lubricant. The method of elastohydrodynamic lubrication is of particular interest when studying different kinds of lubrication. According to the elastohydrodynamic lubrication theory, contact conditions of two elastic bodies are characterized by high pressures which cause the elastic deformation of solids and by the dependence of a lubricant viscosity from the pressure. When using the elastohydrodynamic lubrication the layer profile, the sum amount of elastic deformations, elastic deformations and the lubricant viscosity dependence from pressure are given by set equations [12-15]. The impact of elastohydrodynamic lubrication method on the surface layer of the contacting parts is of great interest.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
