...A. Shinkarenko; Y. Kligerman; I. Etsion This paper presents a nonlinear theoretical model to study the effect of laser surface texturing on the tribological performance in soft elastohydrodynamic lubrication. Both geometrical and physical nonlinearities of the elastomer are considered by using...
