Abstract:

This paper presents the effect of surface roughness in line contact under isothermal soft mixed lubrication with non-Newtonian based on Power law viscosity model. The time independent modified Reynolds equation, elasticity equation and the load capacity of asperities equation were numerically solved using finite different method, Newton-Raphson method and multigrid multilevel methods to obtain the film pressure profiles, film thickness profiles and contact pressure in the contact regions. The simulation results showed that the the amplitude of surface roughness has a significant effects on the film pressure, film thickness and surface contact pressure in the contact region. The minimum gap between surface, friction coefficient and asperity load increase when the amplitude of surface roughness increases. For increasing surface velocity, the minimum gap between surface increases but asperity load decreases.
