Bayada, Guy; El Alaoui Talibi, Mohamed; Vázquez, C. Existence of solutions for elastohydrodynamic piezoviscous lubrication problems with a new model of cavitation. (English) Zbl 0856.76013 Eur. J. Appl. Math. 7, No. 1, 63-73 (1996). Summary: The purpose is to study a mathematical model of lubricating flow between elastic surfaces obeying the linear Hertzian theory when cavitation takes place. Cavitation is a free boundary phenomenon that is described in this paper by the Elrod-Adams model. This model introduces the concentration of fluid as well as the pressure as unknown functions; we suggest the model in preference to the classical variational inequality due to its ability to describe inflow and outflow. This leads to a nonlinear variational nonlocal equation. Herein, an existence theorem is proved by means of two different techniques.
