Abstract:At very high speeds, elastohydrodynamic (EHD) films may be considerably thinner than is predicted by classical isothermal regression equations such as that due to Hamrock and Dowson. This may arise because of viscous dissipation, frictional heating or starvation. In this paper, the contact between a steel ball and a glass disc was studied. The disc was driven at speeds of up to 20 ms−1, and the ball was driven by tractive rolling against the disc, its speed being determined using a magnetic method. It is shown… Show more
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.
