A Film Thickness Correction Formula for Double- Newtonian Shear-Thinning in Rolling EHL Circular Contacts

Lubricants which contain a polymeric thickener will often display a second Newtonian plateau in measured flow curves. Like other manifestations of shear-dependent viscosity, this shear response will lead to an inaccurate prediction when the classical film-thickness formulas are employed. A correctio...
