Abstract
Measurements of frictional traction in a circular elastohydrodynamic contact have been made over a comprehensive range of conditions. The results suggest the existence of a limiting shear strength in the fluid film and this is shown to be a function of temperature and contact size. Existing theories of fluid behaviour under extreme conditions of stress are considered and some modifications are suggested. The contribution of asperity contact to surface traction is examined.Keywords
