Abstract

In the 1st report, the Elrod's cavitation algorithm was modified and applied to the mass conserving elastohydrodynamic lubrication, EHL, of a con-rod bearing with a simple model of an oil passage. In this report, the modified Elrod's cavitation algorithm and the mass conserving EHL with oil passage were compared with the conventional method with the Murty's algorithm. The Elrod's cavitation algorithm modified in the 1st report was also compared with that of original one and that modified by Vijayaraghavan and Keith to clarify the effect of density in full film zone. The mass conserving EHLs with and without oil passage were applied to a con-rod bearing with practical clearance shape under full load operating conditions of an engine to clarify the effect of oil passage.
