The Non-Unicity of the Film Thickness in the Hydrodynamic Lubrication: Novel Approach Generating Equivalent Micro-Grooves and Roughness
Since the 1960s, all studies have assumed that a film thickness “h” provides a unique pressure field “p” by resolving the Reynolds equation. However, it is relevant to investigate the film thickness unicity under a given hydrodynamic pressure within the inverse theory. This paper presents a new appr...
