Abstract
Modern elastohydrodynamically lubricated (EHL) solvers allow the calculation of the pressures and clearances in rough EHL contacts. However, the process is time consuming and the results give little insight into the physical behaviour of the system. The length of calculation also makes these methods unsuitable for use as a design tool. The investigation of the behaviour of low amplitude, sinusoidal roughness in EHL contacts provides greater understanding of the processes involved. The results also allow the effects of surface roughness to be examined rapidly. This suggests that it may be possible to develop the approach and create a ‘real-time’ design process for the analysis of different surface roughnesses under a range of operating conditions.
