Abstract

A modified Reynolds equation for compressible fluids which obey the power law model was derived. Full numerical solutions were obtained by coupling the equation for lubrication with those for film shape and energy between two surfaces with simultaneous rolling and sliding motion. The effects of various power law indexes and slide-roll ratios on lubricant temperature, pressure, film thickness and friction coefficient were investigated. The results indicate that temperature effects are significant and cannot be neglected.
