ELASTOHYDRODYNAMIC LUBRICATION Downson31 defines elastohydrodynamic lubrication EHL as the study of situations in which elastic deformation of the surrounding solids plays a significant role in the hydrodynamic lubrication process. Elastohydrodynamic lubrication implies complete fluid-film lubrication and no asperity interaction of the surfaces. There are two distinct forms of elastohydrodynamic lubrication. 1. Hard EHL. Hard EHL relates to materials of high elastic modulus such as metals. In this form of lubrication not only are the elastic deformation effects important but the pressure-viscosity ELASTOHYDRODYNAMIC LUBRICATION 557 Fig. Chart for determining optimal groove width ratio.

Engineering applications in which this form of lubrication is dominant include gears and rolling-element bearings. 2. Soft EHL. Soft EHL relates to materials of low elastic modulus such as rubber. For these materials that elastic distortions are large even with light loads. Another feature is the negligible pressure-viscosity effect on the lubricating film. Engineering applications in which soft EHL is important include seals human joints tires and a number of lubricated elastomeric material machine elements.
