mixed lubricant
1.A mixed lubrication model,based on an unified Reynolds equation in all lubrication regimes including elastohydrodynamic,mixed and boundary lubrication,for prediction of the sliding friction between rough surfaces in point contacts,was developed. In the calculation,the fluid traction in the lubrication region was determined in terms of rheology model for the lubricant,while the friction from asperity contact was calculated by limiting shear stress model of boundary film.
