Abstract

Mixed elastohydrodynamic lubrication of materials with low elastic modulus (soft materials) is investigated. Expressions for prediction of film thickness and the asperity load ratio in soft line-contact elastohydrodynamic lubrication are presented. The traction behavior of soft contact in mixed elastohydrodynamic lubrication regime is also studied in terms of the Stribeck curves.
