Abstract—In this ongoing project our objective is to study of elastic - plastic contact between two rough surfaces using lubricant to reduce the friction and wear between the two contact surfaces. As compared with the liquid lubricant we will use a thin layer of solid lubricant between the rough surfaces. This analysis will be based on the classical contact modeling of Hertzian stress-theory and Gaussian theory of elastic plastic contact with some primary assumptions needed for the formulation of the problem.
