...Di Yang; Xi Wang; Yu Hou Finite line contacts in rolling element bearings are usually under the regime of elastohydrodynamic lubrication (EHL). To obtain deeper insights into bearing performance, it is necessary to directly couple EHL contact models into bearing models. However, the existing EHL...

...W. Habchi This work presents a comprehensive numerical study of thermal elastohydrodynamic lubrication performance in axially crowned rollers, based on a full-system finite element approach. Axial crowning has always been introduced to finite line contacts, as a mean for improving film thickness...

...W. Habchi This study presents a finite-element-based numerical investigation of the influence of roller-end axial profiling type on the lubrication performance of thermal elastohydrodynamic finite line contacts. Performance is evaluated with respect to the reference case of straight rollers...

...W. Habchi This paper presents a finite element model for the solution of thermal elastohydrodynamic lubrication in finite line contacts, including edge effects. The model is used to investigate the influence of roller-end axial profiling on the frictional behavior of such contacts. Roller-end...
