Asymmetric Asperity Height Distributions in a Scale-dependent Model for Contact and Friction
نویسنده
چکیده
The effect of an asymmetric distribution of asperity heights is accounted for in a recently developed scale-dependent multiasperity model of contact and friction. A Weibull distribution of asperity heights is used which allows the skew and kurtosis to be varied, but not independently of each other. The contact and friction model used includes the effects of adhesion and of scale-dependent friction. The results obtained demonstrate that positive/negative skew decreases/increases both the friction coefficient and its dependence on the magnitude of the normal load.

Improvements to a scale-dependent model for contact and friction
In this investigation three effects are included in a recently developed scale-dependent multi-asperity model of elastic contact and friction. First, a Weibull distribution of asperity heights is used, which allows the skew and kurtosis to be varied, but not independently of each other. Second, the effect of non-constant radii of curvature of the asperity summits, with the curvature varying wit...
متن کاملHeight- Dependent Asperity Radii of Curvatures in a Contact and Friction Model
The effect of a height-dependent asperity radius of curvature is accounted for in a recently developed scaledependent model of contact and friction. The contact and friction model includes the effects of adhesion, using the Maugis model, and of scale-dependent friction, using the Hurtado and Kim single asperity friction model. This multiasperity model has been modified to include the effect of ...
متن کاملMicromechanics of Rough Interfaces
The mechanical behavior of rough interfaces is modeled from a micromechanical viewpoint. A kinematically driven mechanistic approach is adopted which explicitly considers the interaction of asperities on the fracture surface. The mating asperities are assumed to behave in accordance with contact mechanics postulates of non-conforming bodies. The roughness of the fracture surface is represented ...
متن کاملApproximation of the Integrals of the Gaussian Distribution of Asperity Heights in the Greenwood-Tripp Contact Model of Two Rough Surfaces Revisited
Modelling of the contact between moving rough surfaces allows a better understanding of friction and wear mechanisms, which can be used in engineering solutions. This issue has been examined using a number of approaches. The statistical type of a contact model is still the most popularmodel used in rough surfaces contact.This statement does not mean that it is the best solution of contact rough...
متن کاملEffect of contact conditions during thermo-mechanical contact between a thermal flying height control slider and a disk asperity
A three-dimensional thermo-mechanical model is developed for the transient contact between a thermal flying height control (TFC) slider and a disk asperity. The effect of contact conditions is investigated, including the friction coefficient and the circumferential disk velocity. The damage of the read–write shields due to contacts with disk asperities is studied along with the maximum temperat...
