Sažetak
The effect of the average roughness of a lubricated band caused by dressing processes is analysed by applying the Reynolds differential equation for lubrication with the incorporated average roughness and evolution in the Fourier series to the third member. The analysis has shown that the average roughness has two effects on the lubricant-layer thickness in the entering section of the deformation zone. For a small surface roughness, the nominal lubricant-layer thickness decreases slowly (if the process is treated as occurring on a smooth surface) and the thickness grows again with an increase in the roughness. The basis for the analysis was the numerical Monte-Carlo method and the developed approximate analytical solution was in acceptable agreement with the numerical method.
