The paper describes a theoretical analysis of the effects of various types of surface roughness on the response of a squeeze film between two rectangular plates of finite dimensions. Unlike other finite bearing geometries, it is possible to obtain analytical solutions for various bearing characteristics, thus facilitating a more comprehensive parameter study than has hitherto been feasible. It is shown that the nominal geometry has a profound effect on the system.
