Abstract

This paper presents an experimental study of the effect of real moving asperities on lubricant film thickness in elastohydrodynamic point contact formed between a real, random, rough surface, steel ball and a smooth glass disc. A combination of thin film colorimetric interferometry and phase shifting interferometry has been used for the first detailed experimental investigation of changes in real surface micro-geometry as it passes through an EHD conjunction.
