... inherently anisotropic materials, such as transversely isotropic (TI) materials. Accordingly, the present study proposes a method for solving the EHL point contact problem between a rigid ball and a TI substrate under impact loading using a direct-solving numerical method, in which the mechanical properties...

...Hsiao-Ming Chu; Wang-Long Li; Yuh-Ping Chang; Huan-Chang Huang In this paper, pure squeeze elastohydrodynamic lubrication motion of circular contacts with couple stress lubricant is explored at impact loading. On the basis of microcontinuum theory, the transient modified Reynolds equation...
