Abstract
A finite element model for the elastohydrodynamic lubrication problem is presented. A coupling between the hydrodynamic equation and the foundation compliance equation is performed, then the resulting functional problem is given an ‘extended’ variational formulation. Some preliminary numerical results are also presented.
