On the one-dimensional nonlinear elastohydrodynamic lubrication
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 17 April 2009
Abstract
In this paper the authors prove an abstract theorem for solutions of a variational inequality on a cone and use it to study the free boundary problem of elastohydrodynamic lubrication from mechanical engineering. The mathematical model is set in a one-dimensional geometry. The existence of a solution for every non-negative lubricant viscosity is proved, and some properties useful for the numerical analysis are obtained.
