Abstract
Highly loaded lubricated rolling and sliding contacts, such as gear contacts or roller bearing contacts, are extremely important for the durability of most gear applications. It has always been the objective of tribologists to determine the film thickness, pressure and temperature distributions in elastohydrodynamic lubrication contacts. This paper gives a survey of the research work that has been carried out in this field in Germany in the past 20 years.
