Friction coefficient in mixed lubrication: A simplified analytical approach for highly loaded non-conformal contacts

This article presents an analytical model for predicting friction in mixed lubrication regime. The calculations consider load shared between roughness asperities and the lubricant film, as well as the appearance of thermal effects in the contact and the influence of the lubricant rheology. Tests usi...
