Moscow (Received 29 September
1976)
A NUMERICAL solution is given of the isothermal equations of the elastohydrodynamic theory of lubrication in a linearized formulation. It is shown that linearization preserves the main features of the problem. The equations of the isothermal one-dimensional problem of the elastohydrodynamic theory of lubrication can be written in the form [ 11

The solution of (6) is constructed by the use of first-order spline functions [2]. La V, Q, a, Ho and c be fixed. We introduce on [a, cl the nonuniform mesh {xi) i = 1, 2, ,.., N, x1 = a, xN = c. We represent the unknown function p(x) by spline-functions of the fist order at the mesh nodes xi (piecewise-linear approximation): Xii-X (7)

The quadrature formula for calculating the singular integral at the mesh nodes is obtained from (7) [2]. Therefore, (6) with the first two boundary conditions of (3) reduces to the system of linear algebraic equations (8)

The results of calculations for three values of the parameters V and Q are shown in the graph. Curve 1 corresponds ro Q = IO, V = 3, Ho = 2.037, c = 1.062, curve 2 corresponds to Q = 10, V = 0.1, Ho = 0.264, c = 1.041, curve 3 corresponds to Q = 10, V = 0.01, Ho = 0.060, c = 1.023. The dashed line is the graph of the function po (x) close to which the system (1) (2) was linearized.

The solution of the non-linear equations (l)--(4) gives values of Ho sufficiently close to the result of solving Eq. (6). It is noteworthy that the linearized system (l)--(4) permits the main features of the non-linear problem to be preserved I41 . In particular, p(x) may have two characteristics of the maximum. The authors thank V.L. Smetanina for assistance in performing the calculations.
