Abstract
Provided is a friction design method capable of estimating sliding friction generated between mutual sliding surfaces of two sliding members lubricated with lubricant with high precision. The friction design method sets a friction coefficient μ in a sliding surface model corresponding to mutual sliding surfaces of two sliding members (2 and 3) lubricated with lubricant (step S1), and, based on a correlation between the friction coefficient μ and an oil film parameter (Λ(Rk) or Λ(Rk+Rpk)) calculated using a core portion level difference (Rk) or a sum of the core portion level difference (Rk) and reduced peak height (Rpk) as a parameter representing surface roughness in the sliding surface model (step S2), sets a target value for surface roughness of the sliding surfaces required to be controlled as a product (steps S3 to S6).
