Electrical Methods for the Evaluation of Lubrication in Elastohydrodynamic Contacts

This paper reviews the electrical methods to evaluate lubrication, with the focus on elastohydrodynamic applications. The methods are based on the measurement of the electrical resistance and/or capacitance, and are used to determine the thickness of lubricating films as well as to detect asperity c...
