Abstract

A generalized thermal elastohydrodynamic lubrication (TEHL) model for point contact problems is developed based on an isothermal generalized Newtonian elastohydrodynamic (EHL) model recently developed. The thermal model couples FDM for lubricant energy equation and the DC-FFT method for surface temperature integration. A generalized Reynolds equation is derived considering the change of viscosity with respect to temperature, pressure and shear in three dimensions. Numerical cases are conducted to verify the model.
