Efficient finite element simulation of full-system elastohydrodynamic lubrication problems

This thesis is concerned with the efficient numerical solution of problems of elastohydrodynamic lubrication (EHL). Our approach is to consider fully-coupled models in which the governing equations for the lubricating film, the elastic deformation and the force balance are each discretized and solve...
