The traction of a new aviation lubricating oil was measured on a self-made test rig. The calculating formulae of the rheological parameters of the oil such as Erying stress, limiting shear stress and shear elastic modulus were obtained under the condition of the high shear strain rate in elastohydrodynamic lubrication(EHL). The constitutive equation of this oil was determined and verified by test The results of experiments show that the behavior of the new aviation lubricating oil behaves as visco-elastic fluid and the theoretical value agrees fairly well with the measured data, which implies that the constitutive equation of this oil is correct and feasible.
