Abstract
The transient effects of transversely oriented moving ridges having different heights on point contact EHL films are examined by direct observations using the optical interferometry technique. It has been found that if cracks, which may produce rolling contact fatigue, initiate at the surface having ridges, they occur easily near the midplane along the entraining direction when the velocity of the rough surface is smaller than that of the smooth surface. Wear of contact surfaces and scuffing occur initially near the region where the horseshoe shaped constriction is generated in smooth-surface contacts.
