title: A full numerical solution to the problem of microelastohydrodynamic lubrication of a stationary compliant wavy layered surface firmly bonded to a rigid substrate with particular reference to human synovial joints.
abstract: A full numerical solution procedure has been developed for the microelastohydrodynamic lubrication analysis of a stationary compliant wavy layered surface firmly bonded to a rigid substrate. The results obtained have been compared with those using a simplified method adopted by Dowson and Jin(1) and good agreement has been obtained.
