Numerical Simulation on Variable Load EHL Problems with Single Asperities

Article Preview

Abstract:

A model of the problem of variable load line contact EHL with single asperities is established. The influences of the single asperities and variable load on the pressure and film thickness are investigated. Numerical results reveal that the existence of single asperities can lead to pressure change drastically and film thickness become thin in the vicinity of asperities. The effects of the variable load on the pressure and film thickness are discussed. The comparison of the variable load and steady load is given.
