Abstract
The solution method in (6) is extended to include a viscoelastic, linear solid matrix. The film thickness and the bearing volume of the viscoelastic cases are obtained and show lower values than that of the elastic counterpart. The result is also compared with the Winkler solid case (7) and it shows a larger film thickness than Winkler obtained. The squeeze-suction phenomenon is again observed for low applied load, small period and large compliance parameter cases, and it becomes stronger for small D2 values. It clearly indicates that for the viscoelastic model a fluid film can be maintained under cyclic positive load conditions.
