    Abstract

    Since Peppler[1] in 1936 showed that elastic deformation of the mating surfaces plays a dominant role in the pressure built up and film formation in lubricated concentrated contacts, elastohydrodynamic lubrication (E.H.L.) has become a major field of interest on Tribological (Lubrication, Friction and Wear) conferences all over the world. This, of course, is no surprise, since many contacts in machine elements are of a concentrated type and the life of the machine concerned is mainly determined by the life of its most critical parts i.e. the mating surfaces. Examples are rolling element bearings, gears, seals, cam and tappets, etc.
