title: Research data underlying the PhD thesis: Film Height in Soft Elastohydrodynamic Lubrication

description: This dataset contains numerical models (COMSOL) and experimental data supporting the PhD Thesis: "Film Height in Soft Elastohydrodynamic Lubrication" by Jelle Snieder. It is being made public both to act as supplementary data for the PhD thesis of Jelle Snieder and in order for other researchers to use this data in their own work. Each folder corresponds to a thesis chapter and contains its own README file which describes the folder content.<br><strong>Chapter_2</strong>: This dataset contains the numerical models (COMSOL) and the dataset with experimental layer heights to reproduce the results in Chapter 2 of Jelle Snieder's PhD thesis project. The purpose of the numerical models is to simulate the elastohydrodynamic lubrication in roll-to-plate nanoimprinting with tensioned webs. The models can be used to simulate the film height and pressure profiles in the lubricated roller contact and to predict the final imprint layer height. <br>The results were published in:Snieder, J., Dielen, M., & van Ostayen, R. A. J. (2022). Simulating the residual layer thickness in roll-to-plate nanoimprinting with tensioned webs. Micromachines, 13(3), 461.

The purpose of this dataset is to share the spectral properties of the two fluorophores. The experimental methods are described in detail in the corresponding chapter in the PhD thesis.<br><strong>Chapter_6</strong>: This dataset contains the numerical models (COMSOL) to reproduce the results in Chapter 6 of Jelle Snieder's PhD thesis project. The purpose of the numerical models is to simulate the elastohydrodynamic lubrication of a 1D deformable tilting pad slider bearing.<br><strong>Chapter_7</strong>: This dataset contains the numerical models (COMSOL) to reproduce the numerical results in Chapter 7 of Jelle Snieder's PhD thesis project. The purpose of the numerical models is to simulate the elastohydrodynamic lubrication of a 2D deformable tilting pad slider bearing.
