How to better predict the minimum film thickness of elastohydrodynamic contacts?

11.01.2021 Jean-David Wheeler 824 Views

Let’s say you have the choice between an almost infinite lifespan device, and a device that undergoes wear and failure within a few minutes or hours of running. In most cases, you would choose the […]
