Effects of information loss in texture details due to the PIFS encoding on load and friction in hydrodynamic bearings

Textured surfaces can significantly improve the performance of hydrodynamic bearings. However, there is no generally accepted method for their accurate and automated 3D characterization. A promising solution to this problem is partition iterated function system (PIFS) model, which encapsulates infor...
