Friction of Textured Surfaces in Elastohydrodynamic Regime: Experimental and Numerical Investigations

This thesis focuses on finding new ways to control the friction coefficient in elastohydrodynamically lubricated (EHL) contacts through the use of surface textures. Experiments and numerical simulations are employed to first identify the governing phenomena responsible for friction in EHL and then t...
