Abstract
THE theoretical and experimental work carried out in recent years on elastohydrodynamic lubrication has been almost exclusively concerned with steady state conditions. In many elastohydrodynamic situations encountered in machinery, however, the film thickness changes with time, and it is important that the effects of “normal” motion of the opposing solids should be examined.
