Elastohydrodynamic lubrication of big end bearings under steady and cyclic loads

Lubrication of the big-end bearing is re-examined under elastohydrodynamic assumptions. All current models were found to be in someway deficient, motivating the development of a new consistent schema. Uniform axial film-thickness assumptions and parabolic axial pressure profiles are combined with c...
