The contact mechanics of fractal surfaces.
The role of surface roughness in contact mechanics is relevant to processes ranging from adhesion to friction, wear and lubrication. It also promises to have a deep impact on applied science, including coatings technology and design of microelectromechanical systems. Despite the considerable results achieved by indentation experiments, particularly in the measurement of bulk hardness on nanomet...
متن کاملContact mechanics for randomly rough surfaces
When two solids are squeezed together they will in general not make atomic contact everywhere within the nominal (or apparent) contact area. This fact has huge practical implications and must be considered in many technological applications. In this paper I briefly review the basic theories of contact mechanics. I consider in detail a recently developed contact mechanics theory. I derive bounda...
متن کاملTransport and Elastic Properties of Fractal Media
We investigate the influence of fractal structure on material properties. We calculate the statistical correlation functions of fractal media defined by level-cut Gaussian random fields. This allows the modeling of both surface fractal and mass fractal materials. Variational bounds on the conductivity, diffusivity and elastic moduli of the materials are evaluated. We find that a fractally rough...
متن کاملField emission properties of fractal surfaces
The density of emission current by a rough surface with fractal structure is analyzed. A possible experimental setup is modeled by an irregular emitting surface, iteratively generated by a fractional Brownian motion FBM algorithm with roughness or Hurst exponent H=0.3 and a far away plane representing the anode. The boundaries are held at a fixed potential difference and the Laplace’s equation,...
متن کاملDirect fractal measurement and multifractal properties of fracture surfaces
A new method of fractal measurement, the projective covering method (PCM), is proposed in this Letter. Based on the measurements by means of a laser profilometer, the fractal dimension D E [2,3) of a fracture surface is directly estimated. The projective covering probability function is introduced to systematically analyze the multifractal behavior of the fracture surfaces. @ 1998 Elsevier Scie...
