Elastohydrodynamic Lubrication (EHL)

Today's term:

• elastohydrodynamic lubrication (EHL)
• 弾性 【だんせい】 (n) elasticity, resilience, resiliency
• 流体潤滑 【りゅうたいじゅんかつ】 fluid lubrication, thick film lubrication

Online references regarding this topic:

• Elastohydrodynamic Lubrication and the Reynolds Thin Film Approximation
• http://ses.confex.com/ses/2004tm/techprogram/P1665.HTM
• Timken - Bearing Lubrication - Engineering
• http://www.timken.com/lubrication/engineering.asp
• Car lubricants: fact and friction - Physics World - physicsworld.com
• http://physicsworld.com/cws/article/print/5020
  

Here are some common mistranslations or variations that I would discourage writers from using:

• elastic fluid lubrication film
• Elasto- Hydrodynamic Lubrication (EHL)
  
• elasto-hydrodynamic lubrication
