EHL Oil Film Behavior of Thermo-Reversible Gel-Lubricants

This study investigates about the characteristic of the thermo-reversible gel-lubricant (TR Gel-Lube) under elastohydrodynamic lubrication (EHL) conditions. TR Gel-Lube is the lubricant, which consists of base fluid and a gel agent. TR Gel-Lube is repeatedly able to change gel-state to liquid-state...
