Thermo-Elasto-Hydro-Dynamic calculations provide more realistic results than hydrodynamic calculation results.


Great paper presenting problems and solutions along with a good description of Pressure/Temp equations.

We (the Uni's Chem/Mech department) have been researching Tunstate polymer coatings for bearings.

Lots of good info here.
