... (IS) bearing approximation. The correction functions are derived by modeling the ratio between the forces from the numerical integration of the two-dimensional Reynolds equation and the forces from either the IL or IS bearing approximation. Low-order polynomial models, dependent on the eccentricity ratio...

... parameters for the traction capability are presented in two-variable polynomial forms. In the case of mixed lubrication in the web-roller interface, the belt-wrap pressure, T / R r , is balanced partially by rigid body contact between the asperities and partially by air pressure...

... asperities. The dependence of the true contact area on loading is analyzed by using the plane strain theory of elasticity. Fourier series and integral transform techniques are applied to reduce the problem to an integral equation which is solved using a series of Jacobi polynomials. For steady-state dynamic...
