Springer IUTAM Symposium Elastohydrodynamics Micro-elastohydrodynamics Cardiff 2004

This comprehensive symposium proceedings volume examines elastohydrodynamics and micro-elastohydrodynamics research presented at the IUTAM Symposium held in Cardiff, UK during 1-3 September 2004. The collection brings together contributions from leading researchers addressing rheological challenges, surface roughness attenuation in EHL line and point contacts under starved lubrication conditions, unsteady EHL formulations, and the influence of spinning on elliptical contact performance. Featuring reflections on early studies of elasto-hydrodynamic lubrication alongside adjoint error estimation and spatial adaptivity approaches for EHL-like models, this volume provides both historical perspective and cutting-edge technical developments in the field. Published by Springer as part of the Solid Mechanics and Its Applications series (volume 134), it serves as an essential reference for researchers, engineers, and academics working in tribology, mechanical engineering, and computational mechanics.
