Semi-Analytical Solution of 1D Transient Reynolds Equation(Grubin's Approximation)

(0)

Description

A Matlab code for calculation of a semi-analytical solution of transient 1D Reynolds equation using Grubin's approximation. At first, the Reynolds equation is integrated analytically using Grubin's assumptions with respect to spatial coordinate and further numerically integrated with respect to temporal coordinate. Solution is then compared to the analytical Grubin’s solution for the central film thickness.

If you combine two or three metals together, you will get an alloy that usually looks and acts like a metal, with its atoms arranged in rigid geometric patterns. But once in a while, under [...]
Simulations explain why the ice is so slippery

Everybody knows that sliding on ice or snow, is much easier than sliding on most other surfaces. But why is the ice surface slippery? This question has engaged scientists for more than a century and [...]

It is estimated that the energy lost due to friction in industrialized countries equals to approximately 5% of their gross national products and it is clear, that reducing the friction is highly desirable. The classical [...]
