Abstract

There is presently a heated debate within the field of elastohydrodynamic lubrication (EHL). Some have attributed this to a controversy regarding the shear dependence of viscosity. However, the real nature of the debate is, as it has been for more than 40 years, whether or not to correctly describe the piezoviscous effect. If real pressure dependence of viscosity were to be employed in all EHL analyses, then the true nature of shear dependence would become apparent and the debate would end.
