examples/tutorial for elasto-hydrodynamic contacts

Post by Holger »

Hello,
I'm looking for test cases and examples for the simulation of elasto-hydrodynamic contacts using the Reynolds equation. In the documentation I found the hint that test cases are coming with the software, but I found none. Can anybody help? Where are the standard test cases available? Are further examples or a tutorial available?

Regards
Holger

Hi Holger,

Will you also have an elastic contact or just elastic deformation + lubrication? "bengt" did his PhD thesis on the topic using Elmer. You could maybe check some of his threads also. Some of the things were of course addressed during his work so you don't have to repeat them. Here is a lengthy thread, for example:
