Experimental investigation into the influence of roughness on friction and film thickness in EHD contacts

The roughness of machined surfaces such as those in bearings and gears is characterized by asperities which cover a wide spectrum of wavelengths and heights. When the height of the asperities becomes comparable to the lubricant film thickness, the roughness is known to influence friction and wear be...
