- Soap lumps entering a grease-lubricated elastohydrodynamic lubrication (EHL) contact were traced as they passed through the contact by using optical interferometry in a standard Ball & Disc apparatus and a high-speed video camera with light enhancer. One specific soap lump could be traced when it was passing through the contact and sharp images of the passing lump could be captured. This paper presents a combined experimental and numerical approach to determine what is happening when such lumps pass through the contact. From the fringe pattern, obtained by optical interferometry, a film thickness map is created by using image processing. This is done for every time step (1 ms) as the lump is passing through the contact. These maps serve as input to a numerical computation of the pressure by assuming elastic deformation theory. Consequently, no assumptions about the rheological behaviour of the grease have to be made. Two greases were studied, based on the same synthetic poly-α-olefin but thickened with Li-12-OH and Li-complex respectively. It is seen that the soap thickened lumps can cause deep elastic indentations accompanied by large pressure fluctuations. The pressure level will in some cases be more than doubled due to lumps entering the contact region. The effects on noise level and operational life are also discussed.

- The properties of a number of common lubricants have been measured, namely the viscosity, elastohydrodynamic lubrication (EHL) friction coefficient, density, thermal conductivity and heat capacity per unit volume. These properties have been measured within relatively broad pressure and temperature ranges. The lubricants tested were naphthenic and paraffinic mineral oils, blends of these, polyalphaolefins and a polyglycol. Physical--empirical expressions have been developed upon the basis of the measurement results and a number of lubricant constants, or lubricant parameters, have been determined for each lubricant. These expressions can be used in engineering computational tools for lubrication analysis. The use of such analyses is expected to increase into the new millennium and it is thus important to provide reliable and relevant input data
