Original abstract

New quantitative numerical simulations of the elastohydrodynamic lubrication (EHL) film thickness using realistic pressure and shear-dependent rheology and realistic compressibility have indicated that the dependence of central film thickness upon Hertz pressure (or load) for the classic Newtonian, slightly compressible solution is merely a lower limit with magnitudes three times as great being possible. Experimental measurements of central film thickness employing Hertz pressures from 1.0 to 2.6 GPa confirm that for a neat mineral oil, the classical pressure dependence is accurate, while for two gear oils the experimental pressure dependence is much larger.
