is the lubrication phenomenon occurring during elastic
deformation of two non-conforming surfaces under high load. A high load
carried by a small area (as between the ball and race of a rolling contact
bearing) causes a temporary increase in lubricant viscosity as the lubricant
is momentarily trapped between slightly deformed opposing surfaces.
