(A) Balance of time-averaged pressure when the plate undergoes ultrasonic vibrations. (B) View of the asperities. At low amplitude, the reaction from the support balances the pressing force completely. At high amplitude, both the reaction from the support and the squeeze film pressure contribute to balancing the pressing force. In addition, the average interfacial separation is increased.
