Indents perturb the pressure and stress distribution and increase the failure risk. Existing theory for roughness deformation is extended to pure-rolling elastohydrodynamic lubrication indented contact pressure perturbations. First, a study of shallow indents is proposed, then it is modified to account for non-linear behavior of deeper indents.
