Which outcome results when hydrodynamic lubrication fails within spindle bearings?

A)Increased friction and heat production
B)Reduced fluid film stiffness
C)Elastohydrodynamic lubrication mode onset
D)Enhanced damping and vibration dissipation

💡 Explanation

Increased friction and heat result when hydrodynamic lubrication fails because shear stresses, under high viscosity conditions, undergo viscous dissipation, therefore leading to thermal energy rather than fluid separation; lower friction results under stable conditions.
