An analytical solution to the problem of the lubrication of slider blocks of fixed wedge angle and finite width is presented. The method of solution is by the separation of variables which yields results conveniently shown in curve form illustrating the various slider properties. The analysis is not encumbered by the requirement of numerical or graphical methods of evaluation as in the case of Michell, and is similar in nature to the solutions of Muskat, Morgan, and Meres wherein explicit analytical expressions are derived for the slider characteristics. The solutions appear in the form of convergent series.
