Resumo

This paper comprises a report on recent developments in the application of the finite element method in the analysis of elastohydrodynamic lubrication (e.h.l.) problems. The basic formulation is effected, using the Galerkin approach and the domain under investigation is discretized using isoparametric elements. The techniques used to locate the inlet and outlet boundaries and those employed during successive iterations are illustrated by application to particular examples.
