The Christensen theory of stochastic models [7] for hydrodynamic lubrication of rough surfaces is extended to elastohydrodynamic lubrication between two rollers. The Grubin-type equation including asperity effects in the inlet region is derived. Solutions for the reduced pressure at the entrance as a function of the ratio of the average nominal film thickness to the r.m.s. surface roughness (in terms of standard deviation σ), have been obtained numerically. Results were obtained for purely transverse as well as purely longitudinal surface roughness for cases with or without slip. The reduced pressure is shown to decrease slightly by considering longitudinal surface roughness. The transverse surface roughness, on the other hand, has a slight beneficial effect on the average film thickess at the inlet. The same approach was used to study the effect of surface roughness on lubrication between rigid rollers and lubrication of an infinitely-wide slider bearing. Results of these two cases show that the effects of surface roughness are similar to those found in elastohydrodynamic contacts.

This paper presents the theoretical study and analyzes the comparison of porous structures on the performance of a couple stress fluid based on rough slider bearing. The globular sphere model of Kozeny-Carman and Irmay’s capillary fissures model have been subjected to investigations. A more general form of surface roughness is mathematically modeled by a stochastic random variable with non-zero mean, variance and skewness. The stochastically averaged Reynolds type equation has been solved under suitable boundary conditions to obtain the pressure distribution in turn which gives the expression for the load carrying capacity, frictional force and coefficient of friction. The results are illustrated by graphical representations which show that the introduction of combined porous structure with couple stress fluid results in an enhanced load carrying capacity more in the case of Kozeny-Carman model as compared to Irmay’s model.
