Abstract
The Reynolds theory of a one‐dimensional hydrodynamic problem of lubrication, when the liquid is viscoelastic with an arbitrary relaxation core, is generalized. On the basis of a qualitative and numerical analysis, it is shown that the effect of relaxation leads to expansion of the pressure distribution and to a decrease in the carrying capacity of a lubricating layer.
