Abstract
A new ball fatigue tester, the Twin-Head Five-Ball Machine, developed in order to study the effect of traction and sliding on fatigue life, is described in detail. The novel features offered by the apparatus are presented and their implications discused. Three groups of balls were tested with a synthetic diester oil, at a constant maximum Hertz stress of 6GN m−2 (875,000 psi) in pure rolling and at two levels of sliding and traction. Results show a significant decrease in life for a small level of sliding or traction. Life appears to be better correlated to traction coefficient than to sliding. Presented as an American Society of Lubrication Engineers paper at the ASLE/ASME Lubrication Conference held in Montreal, Canada, October 8–10, 1974

Fourth Paper: Shear Behaviour of Elastohydrodynamic Oil Films at High Rolling Contact Pressures

Karlee Johnson, +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors measured the apparent viscosity of E.H.L. oil films at very low sliding speeds, under isothermal conditions, and found that the variation with temperature at high pressure was exponential with an index similar to that at low pressure.
