Abstract
This paper studies the load-carrying capacity of elastohydrodynamic lubrication (EHL) film subjected to isothermal condition incorporating the interfacial limiting shear stress. The slide-roll ratio varied from 0.0 to 2.0 and light, modest and heavy loads were respectively employed. A special attention was concentrated on the total lubricant flow entrained into the contact when different loads were used. It was indicated that a considerable and even almost complete global film loss under a heavy load in EHL contacts can be resulting from the reduction of the total lubricant flow entrained into the contact due to the interfacial limiting shear stress effect.
