Abstract

Surface textures improve the performance of fluid film bearings, piston rings, ball bearings, gears, etc. In the presence of nano/micro-structures on the lubricated mating surfaces, the researchers have identified different mechanisms which lead to improvement in the performance of the textured lubricated interfaces. Thus, the objective of the paper is to present and discuss the mechanisms for various textured lubricated contacts at one place which would be beneficial for the researchers working in this area.
