..., and slide-to-roll ratio on the soft-EHL characteristics. The results are very promising, showing that it's possible to customize smart lubricants to match specific operating conditions. This is achieved by adjusting the yield stress value accordingly, allowing for the desired variation in lubrication...

... elastohydrodynamic lubrication (soft-EHL) line contact with an equivalent model. The model is a soft, transversely isotropic (TI) elastic strip with finite thickness sliding under a rigid sinusoidal surface, which is used to simulate the surface irregularities, with lubricant in between. The material nonlinearity...
