A Unified Computational Approach to the Optimization of Surface Textures: One Dimensional Hydrodynamic Bearings

In tribological applications, surface textures are used to increase load capacity and reduce friction losses in hydrodynamic lubricated contacts. However, there is no systematic, efficient and general approach allowing for the optimization of surface texture shapes to give an optimal performance. Th...
