Rapid calculation of the pressures and clearances in rough, elastohydrodynamically lubricated contacts under pure rolling. Part 2: general roughness

The preceding part of this paper derived expressions for the effect of low amplitude, sinusoidal roughness in rolling, elastohydrodynamic contacts. This part outlines how these can be used to estimate the pressures and clearances in general rough conjunctions. Results for a variety of surface roughnesses are compared with published experimental results and with results from elastohydrodynamically lubricated solvers.
