| Popis: | Mixed lubrication is a key to bring the performance analysis to the failure analysis in most tribological components. A macro-micro approach to mixed lubrication has been developed in the present model. The relation between the average contact pressure and the average gap for a typical rough contact patch is first determined numerically in micro scale. Using this relation, the average gap, average oil-film pressure, and average contact pressure in a mixed-lubricated elastohydrodynamic contact can be solved simultaneously in macro scale by treating the contact to be smooth. The total pressure is assumed a superposition of average asperity contact pressure and lubricant pressure. The new approach is simple, efficient and robust, and covers entire range of the load ratio, from unity (dry contact) to zero (full-film EHL). In addition, it can be used for a wide range of operating conditions and on a much larger contact area with a much less computing time than deterministic simulation of mixed lubrication. Imp... |
