... of bending possesses a significant effect on the lubrication behaviors of the journal bearings, because the size effect is mainly caused by the increased apparent modulus due to the bending elastic deformation of the bearing sleeve. The boundary slip behaviors dependent on the Cosserat characteristic length...

...Xiaoling Liu; Jinlei Cui; Peiran Yang In order to investigate the size effect on elastohydrodynamic lubrication (EHL) of roller pairs, complete numerical solutions for both the Newtonian fluid and the Eyring fluid thermal EHL problems of roller pairs under steady state conditions have been achieved...

...K. Iyer A size effect has been observed in cylinder-on-flat partial slip contact fatigue experiments (Hills et al., 1988 and 1990). The size effect in this case is defined as a discontinuous drop in the fatigue life beyond some critical value of the width of the contact region. New analysis...
