The theoretical investigations made in this paper are to study the combined effect of pressure-dependent viscosity (PDV) and micropolar fluids on squeeze film circular step plate. The modified Reynolds equations in both the regions accounting for the pressuredependent viscosity of micropolar fluids are mathematically derived. From the analysis, it has been found that the non dimensional pressure, non dimensional load carrying capacity, and non dimensional squeeze film time decreases with increasing value of non dimensional step distance (K) and increases as compared with iso-viscous lubricant case.
