In this paper, the effect of surface roughness and pressure-dependent viscosity over couple-stresses squeeze film lubrication between circular stepped plates is studied. The modified average Reynolds equation is derived for the one-dimensional roughness structures, namely the radial roughness pattern and azimuthal roughness pattern. Modified equations for the nondimensional pressure, load-carrying capacity, and nondimensional squeeze film time are obtained. Also, the obtained results of our study for some special cases are compared with the previously published smooth surface case, and the results are found to be in very good agreement. It is observed that, one-dimensional azimuthal (radial) roughness pattern on the rough circular stepped plate increases (decreases) the load-carrying capacity and the squeeze film time as compared to the smooth case.

The combined effects of couple stresses and surface roughness patterns on the squeeze film characteristics of curved annular plates are studied. The Stokes (1966) couple stress fluid model is included to account for the couple stresses arising due to the presence of microstructure additives in the lubricant. In the context of Christensen's (1969) stochastic theory for the lubrication of rough surfaces, two types of one-dimensional roughness patterns (circumferential and radial) are considered. The governing modified stochastic Reynolds type equations are derived for these roughness patterns. Expressions for the mean squeeze film characteristics are obtained. Numerical computations of the results show that the circumferential roughness pattern on the curved annular plate results in more pressure buildup whereas performance of the squeeze film suffers due to the radial roughness pattern for both concave and convex pads. Further the squeeze film time is longer (shorter) for the circumferential (radial) roughness patterns. Improved squeeze film characteristics are predicted for the couple stress lubricant.
