Abstract

The effect of surface roughness on squeeze film elliptical plates with micro-polar fluid is theoretically presented in the present analysis. Based upon the Christensen’s stochastic model, stochastic Reynolds-type equation is derived. The closed form solutions are derived for squeeze film pressure, load carrying capacity and squeeze film time. The present analysis describes how the roughness influences the characteristics of the film squeezed between rough elliptical plates lubricated with micro polar fluid. The results yields increasing values of roughness parameter, coupling number and couple stress parameter leads to increase in pressure, load carrying capacity and squeeze film time.
