The goal of this study is to expand a recently developed numerical              model of elastohydrodynamic lubrication.  In this region of                     lubrication, both the physical properties of the lubricant (i.e., the           effect of pressure on viscosity) and the mechanical properties of the           solid surfaces (i.e., the elastic deformation) must be considered               simultaneously.  The previous models in this region are only applicable         to idealized situations and do not consider real effects such as the            surface roughness, the non-Newtonian lubricant behavior, and the                temperature.  It is planned to incorporate these effects in the model           and to check the model experimentally.  The outcome of this research            would be clearly relevant to analysis of lubrication in real                    tribological systems where such effects cannot be ignored.
