Abstract

<jats:p> This paper presents a solution to the problem of hydrodynamic lubrication of highly loaded clastic cylinders under isothermal conditions. A numerical method is developed which enables a pressure curve to be found which satisfies the elastic and hydrodynamic requirements of the system. </jats:p><jats:p> Results are presented which take account of elastic distortion and the dependence of viscosity upon pressure for centre-line pressures of 5, 10, 20, and 30 ton/in<jats:sup>2</jats:sup>. In addition solutions are given for both rigid and elastic solids when the centre-line film thickness is the same in each case. </jats:p>
