- Previous studies have revealed that friction behave in unexpected ways as pressure increase in a lubricating film. It has been determined that it is not a viscosity-related but rather originating directly from molecular structure. This study strives to elucidate the importance of understanding the properties that govern friction, when undertaking simulation of elastohydrodynamic events. A thorough investigation of the maximum transferable shear stress in the film for a paraffinic mineral oil has been undertaken. A previously stated theory of decreasing friction coefficient with increasing pressure is further substantiated by the current measurements. Classical thermodynamics, in the shape of transient "hot-wire" measurements, have been used to study macro-molecular changes (as function of pressure). The instance of global relaxation correlates nicely to measurements.
