Budt, M.Temizer, İlkerWriggers, P.2016-02-082016-02-0820120178-7675http://hdl.handle.net/11693/28214The interaction between microscopically rough surfaces and hydrodynamic thin film lubrication is investigated under the assumption of finite deformations. Within a coupled micro-macro analysis setting, the influence of roughness onto the macroscopic scale is determined using FE 2-type homogenization techniques to reduce the overall computational cost. Exact to within a separation of scales assumption, a computationally efficient two-phase micromechanical test is proposed to identify the macroscopic interface fluid flux from a lubrication analysis performed on the deformed configuration of a representative surface element. Parameter studies show a strong influence of both roughness and surface deformation on the macroscopic response for isotropic and anisotropic surfacial microstructures.EnglishFinite deformationHomogenizationReynolds equationSurface roughnessComputational costsComputational homogenizationComputationally efficientA computational homogenization framework for soft elastohydrodynamic lubricationConference Paper10.1007/s00466-012-0709-7
