A Simple Calculation of EHL Traction at Small Slide/Roll Ratio Including Roller Elasticity

Elastohydrodynamic point contact traction may be predicted accurately for the small slide-to-roll ratio, Σ, isothermal case by first calculating the shear response of the liquid in a parallel gap with a hemispherical pressure distribution and then correcting Σ for the elastic roller compliance.Copyright © 2005 by ASME
