Springer IUTAM Symposium on Elastohydrodynamics Proceedings

This academic volume contains the official proceedings from the IUTAM Symposium on Elastohydrodynamics and Micro-elastohydrodynamics. Held in Cardiff, UK, from September 1-3, 2004, this text serves as a comprehensive resource for researchers and professionals in the field of solid mechanics. Part of the Solid Mechanics and Its Applications series (Volume 134), it gathers significant technical contributions regarding lubrication theory and mechanical performance. The content covers a wide range of specialized topics, including reflections on early studies of elasto-hydrodynamic lubrication and modern rheological challenges. Readers can find detailed research on adjoint error estimation, spatial adaptivity for EHL-like models, and the effects of surface roughness attenuation in starved lubrication conditions. The collection also explores unsteady EHL through nodal and modal formulations, as well as the influence of spinning on EHL performance in elliptical contacts. This book provides a deep look into the mathematical and physical complexities of micro-elastohydrodynamics for advanced study and academic reference.
