A unified shear-thinning treatment of both film thickness and traction in EHD
TL;DR: In this paper, a conclusive demonstration has been provided that the nature of shear-thinning, that affects both film thickness and traction in EHL contacts, follows the ordinary power-law rule that has been described by many empirical models of which Carreau is but one example.
Journal ArticleDOI
The high pressure rheology of some simple model hydrocarbons
TL;DR: In this article, the effect of structure on the pressure-viscosity response and non-Newtonian response of simple, low molecular weight hydrocarbon liquids are investigated in detail, and a favourable comparison can be made with non-equilibrium molecular dynamics simulations on squalane.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Rough Shear-Thinning Correction for EHD Film Thickness
TL;DR: In this article, a rough film thickness correction for shear-thinning in elastohydrodynamic contacts has been proposed that requires parameters obtained from flow curves generated for the specific liquid.
Journal ArticleDOI
A low-viscosity ionic liquid demonstrating superior lubricating performance from mixed to boundary lubrication

TL;DR: In this article, an ionic liquid (IL) 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)i-mide was proposed as a promising engine lubricant candidate.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pressure-Viscosity Behavior of Lubricants to 1.4 GPa and Its Relation to EHD Traction
TL;DR: In this article, a falling body viscometer was developed to extend the measurement of the limiting low shear viscosity to 1.4 GPa in pressure and 105 Pas in viscosities for temperatures above ambient.
