Predicting the cyclic oil film thickness variation in reciprocating hydrodynamic line contacts
✦AI Summary
Researchers have developed new mathematical equations to predict oil film thickness in reciprocating hydrodynamic contacts. This model accounts for 'squeeze' effects and explains why friction and film thickness are asymmetric in reciprocating machinery.
Calculated OFT versus angle. Operating conditions are given in the text. The simulation that includes “squeeze” effects is shown as the red full line, whereas the simulation that neglects such effects is shown as the black dotted line.
