SURFACE TEXTURES FOR ENHANCED LUBRICATION: FABRICATION AND CHARACTERIZATION TECHNIQUES

Theoretical and experimental results show that the performance of a load-bearing surface in hydrodynamic lubrication may be enhanced by engineering a definable surface texture onto the surface. These surface textures are in the form of protrusions (positive asperities) or cavities (negative asperiti...
