... film pressure is closely related to the thermal conductivity of the contact materials and the surface temperature of the smooth-surfaced materials, and the maximum pressure reduction method is proposed. The results make a significant contribution to the design of mechanical elements involving contact...

...Motohiro Kaneta; Kenji Matsuda One of the methods to avoid rolling contact fatigue is to reduce the film pressure due to surface roughness and the magnitude of its fluctuation. The roughness on rolling/sliding concentrated contacting surfaces has generally different asperity heights. In this study...
