Analysis of Three-Dimensional Soft Elastohydrodynamic Lubrication in Finite Line Contact

Abstract

In this study soft-EHL is analyzed with finite length line contact Due to the consideration of the effect of finite length on the cylindrical roller edge a three-dimensional model is used for simulation The distribution of pressure film thickness and deformation of unmodified cylindrical shape is also discussed and compare it to the cylindrical roller after considering the round corner to observe the phenomenon of stress concentration between these two Then the effects of different cylindrical radii on the distribution of pressure film thickness and deformation are discussed
