The rheological behaviour of the lubricant in an elastohydrodynamic contact depends upon the properties of the fluid and the imposed conditions of load, speed and temperature. For a lubricant of known rheological properties, it is shown how a ‘map’ can be constructed in which different areas of the map correspond to different regimes of behaviour. The coordinates chosen for the map are non-dimensional pressure and a parameter which is closely related to the film thickness. Given the load, speed and temperature, the operating conditions can be located as a point in the map. Maps have been constructed for three fluids: a mineral oil, polyphenyl ether 5P4E and a traction fluid. In general the maps display four regimes: (a) Newtonian, (b) Eyring, (c) viscoelastic and (d) elastic-plastic. Appropriate constitutive equations are proposed for each regime from which the traction forces can be predicted. The maximum traction coefficients calculated in this way are well supported by experiment.
