Effect of Transversely Isotropic Elasticity on Elastohydrodynamic Lubrication of Point Contacts

Fiber-reinforced materials or 3D printed parts feature transversely isotropic elasticity. Although its influence on pressures, shapes, and sizes has been studied extensively for dry contacts, the transferability to lubricated contacts is fragmented. This numerical study investigates how the content...
