... positions of the substrate. Figures 12 – 15 show the effect of the work-hardening effect by von Mises stress and plastic strain for the rigid ball initial velocity at −0.1 m/s at flow index n = 1.05 and n = 0.95 [ 43 ]. The results show that the higher the tangent modulus, the more concentrated...

In the present study, a three-dimensional plasto-elastohydrodynamic lubrication (PEHL) model has been...
