Abstract
In this paper, a theoretical analysis of the effects of couple stresses on the squeeze film lubrication between circular stepped plates is presented. Modified Reynolds type equation is derived for the couplestress fluids. Closed form solution is obtained. According to the results obtained, the influence of couple stresses enhances the squeeze film pressure, load carrying capacity, and decreases the response time as compared to classical Newtonian-lubricant case. The load carrying capacity decreases as step height increases.
