1Dr. Simon C. Tung has become an internationally recognized
leader in the field of tribology and lubrication engineering
as a result of 26 years of industrial applied research and project management with
General Motors
and through his service to the tribology technical community. Tung has been involved in the original engine manufacturers (OEM) and automotive industry since joining
General Motors Research laboratories
in 1982. While there he led pioneering research and development on automotive powertrain tribology and lubrication engineering and was appointed a
technical fellow
at the
General Motors Research and Development Center
in 2003. In 2008, he joined the
Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI)
as
General Director
, where he was responsible for managing all research and development programs in the green energy and environmental research laboratories. He made significant contributions in the research areas of green energy, energy storage systems, hydrogen energy, energy efficient fuels and lubricants, and greenhouse emissions reduction. Dr. Tung's technical expertise includes energy technology, environmental engineering, lubrication, and automotive systems. He has over 180 published works and holds more than 30 U.S. and international patents on novel methods of improving energy efficiency and environmental protection. Dr. Tung has received many distinguished honors, including being named
Fellow of the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE)
and

, as well as receiving the highest honor of Gold Award from the
Engineering Society of Detroit (ESD)
. In addition, he has received 25 professional outstanding achievements awards during his career. He was recently honored with SAE International's Edward N. Cole Award for Automotive Engineering Innovation during the SAE 2011 World Congress. In August 2011, Dr. Tung was appointed the
global OEM industry liaison manager
by
R.T. Vanderbilt
. In this new capacity, Dr. Tung leads global OEM liaison activities by developing and disseminating global OEM advanced lubricant requirements and energy resources technologies. In addition, he assists in advancing tribology and lubricant technology programs at

Elastohydrodynamic lubrication (EHL) film thickness suggests the capability of a lubricant to support load under a set of hydrodynamic conditions. It is related to the rheological properties of a lubricant, contact geometry, materials properties, and operating conditions such as load, speed, and temperature. Film thickness variation with speed or load may follow the prediction made with the theory of EHL. Experimental techniques based on capacity [1-3]; electrical conductivity and contact resistance [4-6]; discharge voltage [7]; X-ray transmission [8]; indirect laser transmission [9,10]; R-C oscillation technique [11]; and optical interferometry [12–35] have been used in EHL experiments for film- thickness measurement. On the other hand, as a result of the rapid development of high-speed computers, in-depth and detailed numerical analyses of EHL problems intend to become a routine practice. More influential factors can be considered now in EHL calculations: several non-Newtonian properties of a lubricant [30,31,36–38], surface roughness [32,33,37,38], the thermal effect [34,39,40], and non-steady-state transitions [35,41,42] have been included in a number of simulation models. Moreover, mixed lubrication simulations based on digitized real rough surfaces have been conducted in wider ranges of speed and load [36,37]. This section reviews and discusses the existing techniques for EHL film-thickness measurements, views of measurement data, and comparisons of measurement results with EHL simulation solutions.
