Effects of Surface Roughness in Squeeze Film Lubrication of Two Parallel Plates
Journal Title: Tribology in Industry - Year 2015, Vol 37, Issue 2
Abstract
A generalized form of Reynolds equation for two surfaces is taken by considering surface roughness at the bearing surfaces. This equation is applied to study the effects of surface roughness for the lubrication of squeeze film of two parallel plates. Expressions for the load capacity and squeezing time are obtained and studied theoretically for various parameters. The load capacity and squeeze time increases with an increase in the value of which represent a ratio of the viscosity of the peripheral layer to the middle layer. In the case of transverse roughness the load capacity and squeezing time increases as the mean height of surface asperities increases and the load capacity and the squeezing time decreases as the mean height of surface asperities increases in the case of longitudinal roughness. Hence the effect of surface roughness is more pronounced in the case of transverse roughness.
