Originální abstrakt

Thin film colorimetric interferometry has been used to examine the behaviour of thin elastohydrodynamic (EHD) lubricant films under very high contact pressures of the order of 0.5 to 3 GPa. It has been shown that at moderate pressures, the variation of film thickness with speed follows the Hamrock and Dowson prediction down to one nanometer. As the load is increased, however, thin films behave differently from the prediction of the conventional EHD theory. For a certain lubricant and operational conditions, there is a critical rolling speed below which a reduction of film thickness is observed. This behaviour is very similar to that previously predicted computationally by Zhu.
