Abstract
In this paper, the stochastic theory developed by Christensen is applied to the analysis of dynamically loaded short rough bearings. Approximate polynomial in place of Gaussian is used to represent the roughness height. To make the analysis applicable in real lubrication situations, it is assumed that the surface roughness and the minimum film thickness are of the same order. Attention is focussed on cyclic squeeze films under sinusoidal loading. It is concluded that the load is increased in the longitudinal case as compared with the transverse case. This happens due to excessive side leakage in the latter case. The effect of roughness is much more pronounced at the time when the load reverses its direction in both longitudinal and transverse cases.
