Abstract

An “inverse” formulation is described for general problems of unsteady elastohydrodynamic lubrication (EHL). Spatial discretization gives an explicit initial-value ordinary differential equation (ODE) problem with (interior) nodal film thicknesses as state variables. Numerical results are compared with published experimental results for normal approach of a spherical surface to an elastic foundation.
