Lubrication in soft rough contacts: A novel homogenized approach. Part I - Theory
Lubrication in soft rough contacts: A novel homogenized approach. Part I - Theory
We study the lubricated steady sliding contact between rough surfaces of (elastically) soft solids. A novel mean field theory of mixed lubrication is presented, which takes into account the coupled effect of asperity-asperity and asperity-fluid interactions. We calculate the fluid flow factors, and...

We study the lubricated steady sliding contact between rough surfaces of (elastically) soft solids. A novel mean field theory of mixed lubrication is presented, which takes into account the coupled effect of asperity-asperity and asperity-fluid interactions. We calculate the fluid flow factors, and discuss the nature of the transition from the boundary lubrication regime, where the normal load is supported by the asperity-asperity interactions (sometimes mediated by boundary films), to the hydrodynamic regime, where a thin fluid film prevents direct contact between the mating surfaces. |
