A Compact Model for Spherical Rough Contacts
نویسندگان
چکیده
A new model is developed that considers the effect of roughness on the elastic contact of spherical bodies. A general pressure distribution is proposed that encompasses the contact of rough spheres and yields the Hertzian theory for ideally smooth surfaces. A new parameter, nondimensional maximum contact pressure, is introduced and it is shown that this is the key parameter that controls the contact. The results of the present study are presented in the form of compact relationships. These relationships are compared against the experimental data collected by others and good agreement is observed.

Thermal Contact Resistance of Nonconforming Rough Surfaces, Part 1: Contact Mechanics Model
A new analytical model for spherical rough contacts, in the form of a set of relationships, is developed and solved numerically. It is shown that the maximum contact pressure is the parameter that specifies the contact pressure distribution. Simple correlations for calculating the maximum contact pressure and the radius of the macrocontact area as functions of the nondimensional parameters are ...
متن کاملDeposition of Various Shapes Particles on a Rough Surface in Turbulent Flow
An experiment set-up is used to study wall deposition rate of particles on a rough surface in a turbulent channel flow. Deposition velocities for three classes of particles, namely, spherical glass particles, irregular shape polymer particles, and fibrous silicon particles are studied. The particle concentration at the test section was measured with the aid of an isokinetic probe in conjunction...
متن کاملThermal Contact Resistance of Nonconforming Rough Surfaces, Part 2: Thermal Model
A new analytical model is developed for thermal contact resistance (TCR) of nonconforming rough surfaces. TCR is considered as the superposition of macroand microthermal resistances. The effects of roughness, load, and radius of curvature on TCR are investigated. It is shown that there is a value of surface roughness that minimizes the TCR for a fixed load and geometry. Simple correlations for ...
متن کاملConductance through analytic constrictions
We study the dependence of the intrinsic conductance of a nanocontact on its shape by using the recursion-transfer-matrix method. Hour-glass, torus, and spherical shapes are defined through analytic potentials, the latter two serving as rough models for ring-like and spherical molecules, respectively. The sensitivity of the conductance to geometric details is analyzed and discussed. Strong reso...
متن کاملMeasurement and Modeling of Normal Contact Stiffness and Contact Damping at the Meso Scale
Modeling of contact interfaces that inherently include roughness such as joints, clamping devices, and robotic contacts, is very important in many engineering applications. Accurate modeling of such devices requires knowledge of contact parameters such as contact stiffness and contact damping, which are not readily available. In this paper, an experimental method based on contact resonance is d...
