Effect of Starvation on Traction and Film Thickness in Thermo-EHL Line Contacts with Shear-Thinning Lubricants

The effect of starvation on traction and film thickness behavior in thermo-EHL rolling/sliding line contacts has been studied using full EHL simulations. The simulations employed the free volume equation for viscosity–pressure–temperature relationship and Carreau viscosity model to describe the shear-thinning behavior of the EHL lubricant. The simulation results were used to develop equations for estimating the factors by which the traction coefficient increases and film thickness decreases as a function of the degree of starvation. For the situations involving inadequate lubricant supply at the inlet, these factors can be used to correct the traction coefficient and central film thickness predicted with the assumption of fully flooded condition.     

Elastohydrodynamic lubrication of circular contacts at pure squeeze motion with non-Newtonian lubricants

In this study a numerical method for general applications with non-Newtonian fluids is developed to investigate the pure squeeze motion in an isothermal elastohydrodynamic lubricated spherical conjunction under constant load conditions. The coupled transient modified Reynolds, the elasticity deformation, and the load equilibrium equations are solved simultaneously. Computer simulation is carried out to investigate the effects of flow rheology and operations on the relationship between the pressure and film thickness distributions. The simulation results reveal that the larger the flow index (n), the larger the film thickness and the smaller the maximum central pressure. This results in larger time needed to obtain maximum central pressure. In addition, the elastic deformation is more significant for the lower flow index. Therefore, the smaller the flow index becomes, the greater the difference between the hydrodynamic lubrication (HL) solution and elastohydrodynamic lubrication (EHL) solution becomes.     

The Effect of Shear-Thinning on Film Thickness for Space Lubricants

The authors show that the difference between effective pressure-viscosity coefficients, obtained from film thickness, and coefficients obtained from viscometers for a PFPE space lubricant is substantially the result of shear thinning in the inlet zone of concentrated contact. Flow curves for the PFPE and a multialkylated cyclopentane are presented along with film calculations based on the Carreau model.     

Experimental Investigation of Elastohydrodynamic (EHD) Film Thickness Behavior at High Speeds

At very high speeds, elastohydrodynamic (EHD) films may be considerably thinner than is predicted by classical isothermal regression equations such as that due to Dowson and Hamrock. This may arise because of viscous dissipation, shear thinning, frictional heating or starvation.

In this article, the contact between a steel ball and a glass disc over an entrainment speed ranging from 0.05 m s^?1 to 20 m s^?1 was studied. Two sets of tests were performed. In the preliminary testing, the disc was driven at speeds of up to 20 m s^?1 and the ball was driven by tractive rolling against the disc, its speed being determined using a magnetic method. After all possible explanations for the reduction in film thickness at high speeds were considered, it was shown that the results, which fall well below classical predictions, are consistent with inlet shear heating at the observed sliding speeds.

Another set of tests was then performed, with both disc and ball driven separately, so that the accuracy of the shear heating theory for different types of oils and at different sliding conditions could be assessed. It was found that the thermal correction factor predicts the trend of film thickness behavior well for the oils tested and is particularly accurate at certain slide–roll ratios (depending on the type of oil). Experimental data were also used to obtain improved coefficients for the correction factor for different types of oil to achieve better prediction of film thickness at high speed throughout the whole range of slide–roll ratios.     

Elastohydrodynamic Lubrication of Circular Contacts at Impact Loading with Generalized Newtonian Lubricants

In this article, pure squeeze elastohydrodynamic lubrication (EHL) motion of circular contacts with power law model lubricant is explored at impact loading. The coupled transient modified Reynolds, the elasticity deformation, and the ball motion equations are solved simultaneously, thus obtaining the transient pressure profiles, film shapes, normal squeeze velocities, and accelerations. The simulation results reveal that the greater the flow index (n), the earlier the pressure spike and the dimple form, while the maximum pressure and the film thickness increase, and the diameter of the dimple, the maximum value of the impact force, the rebounding velocity, and the acceleration decrease. Further, this analysis numerically demonstrates that the contact central pressure for a ball impacting and rebounding from a lubricated surface reached two peaks during the total impact period. As the flow index increases, the primary and the secondary peak increase, and the first and second peaks form earlier; as the total impact time decreases. Moreover, the phase shift between the time of the peak value of the squeeze acceleration and the zero value of the squeeze velocity increase with increasing flow index.
