תקציר	Elastohydrodynamic lubrication (EHL) is the regime of fluid film lubrication in which elastic deformation of the surfaces plays a crucial role in maintaining a fluid layer between sliding or rolling surfaces. In applications like roller bearings and gears, the contact pressure is extremely high, causing the lubricant viscosity to increase dramatically and the surfaces to deform elastically. EHL theory, developed rigorously by Dowson and Higginson, predicts the film thickness, pressure distribution, and friction in these heavily loaded contacts.	Modal analysis is a computational and experimental method for determining the natural frequencies and associated mode shapes of a mechanical structure. By decomposing structural vibration into its fundamental modes (natural oscillation patterns), engineers can predict resonance frequencies, assess dynamic response to external forces, and design structures to avoid problematic vibrations. Developed rigorously by Clough and Penzien in their foundational work on structural dynamics, modal analysis is essential for designing robust mechanical systems.
