Transient Air-Soft EHL of Rough Surface with Impact Sudden Load

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper presents the effects of transient rough surface air-soft elastohydrodynamic lubrication (EHL) of rollers for soft material. The time independent modified Reynolds equation, and elasticity equation were solved numerically using finite different method, Newton-Raphson method and multigrid multilevel method to obtain the film pressure profiles and film thickness in the contact region. The effects of overload, surface roughness and time period are examined. The simulation results show surface roughness has effect on film thickness. The impact of sudden load condition is that the air film pressure increases but film thickness decreases. The minimum film thickness decreases when the amplitude of surface roughness increases. Increasing of impact from sudden loads resulted in minimal film thickness decrease.
