Original Abstract

The understanding of the processes involved in the in-contact deformation of surface roughness represents one of key factors in increasing lubrication capabilities of highly loaded machine components. Two main approaches have been developed in an effort to understand the changes of initial surface topography within highly loaded contacts to provide detailed information about lubrication film thickness and pressure distribution in the vicinity of roughness features. The first approach considers the real surface topography while the other uses the simplified topography features. Numerical solutions based on measured topography data can provide the film thickness and pressure distribution around asperities of realistic scale; nevertheless, obtained results are typically limited to the specific topography configuration measured from a very small area of rubbing surface. That is why some researchers have considered harmonic features of various wavelength and amplitudes to explain the behaviour of real roughness.
