Abstract: A lubrication theory that includes the coupled effects of surface roughness and anisotropic slips is proposed. The anisotropicslip phenomena originate from the microscale roughness at the atomic scale (microtexture) and ...

Abstract: By coupling the equations of the modified Reynolds equation with the anisotropic slip effect, the piezoviscosity and piezodensity relations, the elasticity deformation equation, and the load equilibrium equation are solved ...
