Advanced Multilevel Solution of the EHL Line Contact Problem

Abstract: The application of multilevel multi-integration to the calculation of the elastic deformation integrals and the use of an alternative relaxation process in the multilevel solution of the governing equations have resulted in an algorithm solving the EHL line contact problem in O(n ln n) operations, also for highly loaded situations. The reduction in computing time thus obtained was used to solve the problem using large numbers of nodal points and to study the pressure spike. The presented algorithm will enable … Show more

“…Results indicated the effect of squeeze in the response in which there was some deviation from exact periodicity in the cavitation location, contact separation and minimum film thickness under the dynamic loading imposed. Minimum film thickness calculations demonstrated that the ALE formulation accurately describes the EHL response established in the literature [9,10,[50][51][52] to within 5% of the predicted values. It was also presented under hydrodynamic conditions that the ALE formulation has better numerical converge and computes in less time than comparative problems solved using the Elrod (Heaviside) approach.…”

“…Later Lubrecht et al [52] derived a solution based on the multilevel methods and Moe's non-dimensional parameters. This was further developed by Venner [10] who derived an expression that is considered the best approximation for calculating the minimum film thickness in a line contact to date. It is of note that, despite the differences in model assumptions, the solutions obtained by Dowson and Higginson [9] are widely used because of the accuracy of the solution when comparing to the modern alternatives [53].…”

“…The Reynolds equation was solved by a multi-grid (MG) method, while the elastic deformation was calculated using a multi-level multi-integration (MLMI) technique (Gao et al, 2007;Venner, 1991). Three levels of grid were used in the multilevel solver.…”
