... are investigated using theoretical simulations. The results show that during intermittent motion, a portion of oil is entrapped in the contact zone at the end of the deceleration phase, after which this entrapped oil gradually moves out of the contact zone with the onset of speed, and a lower film of oil...

...Mingyu Zhang; Xinqing Wang; Yiming Han; Jing Wang; C. H. Venner Intermittent motion is a complex process that involves constant speed, deceleration, static stages, and acceleration. Theoretical analysis suggests that shortening the period of intermittent motion can increase the film thickness...

...Mingyu Zhang; Minglu Yao; Jing Wang; Yong Wan To improve mechanical efficiency, the tribological performance of short-period intermittent motion needs to be investigated. Based on the theory of thermal elastohydrodynamic lubrication (EHL) and considering the influences of rough surface, a mixed-EHL...
