Analysis and Prediction of Constriction Resistance for Contact Between Rough Engineering Surfaces
نویسندگان
چکیده
The constriction resistance of a semi-infinite cylinder terminating in the frustum of a cone in a gaseous environment is analyzed numerically. The variation of constriction resistance with the ratio of contact radius to cylinder radius, the cone angle, and the gas-to-substrate thermal conductivity ratio is investigated. Nonlinear curve fitting is used to develop a comprehensive predictive correlation for the constriction resistance as a function of these parameters. The parameters are investigated over a wide range of values covering the range expected in practical applications. The correlation could be used in conjunction with an appropriate surface deformation model to predict the thermal contact resistance between rough metallic surfaces. † Submitted for publication in AIAA Journal of Thermophysics and Heat Transfer, August 2002, and in revised form May 2003. ‡ Author to whom correspondence should be addressed, Tel.: 765-494-5621, E-mail: [email protected]

Thermal Contact Resistance of Wavy Surfaces (RESEARCH NOTE)
In this paper, the method of determining thermal contact resistance of wavy surfaces is discussed exactly. For determining the thermal contact resistance of real contacts, a new method has been presented. In this method, assuming a regular sinusoidal surface profile, the real contact area in terms of applied forces has been determined. Then thermal contact resistance has been calculated. Testin...
متن کاملCharacterization of Rough Engineering Surfaces for Use in Thermal Contact Conductance Modeling
Most surface properties used in the calculation of contact conductance are not intrinsic to the surface, but vary with the sampling frequency of the instrument used to characterize the surface. This paper offers a methodology for characterizing a surface based on intrinsic surface characterization properties (the self-affine fractal dimension and topothesy), intrinsic material properties, and a...

A practical application of the spherical involute surface to the forged straight bevel gears is provided and demonstrated in this work. Conjugate (pure involute) theoretical surfaces are developed from the input design parameters. The surfaces are modified to suit the actual application (automotive differential). The unloaded (or low load) tooth contact analysis of modified surfaces is performe...
متن کاملComparing surface topography parameters of rough surfaces obtained with spectral moments and deterministic methods
Understanding contact between rough surfaces is of critical importance to the design of many engineering applications. Contact models rely on material properties and surface topography of the contacting surfaces as input parameters. Hence, the relevance of the contact models is dependent on their inherent assumptions and the accuracy with which the input parameters are determined. We have evalu...
متن کاملConstriction resistance between materials with fractal patterns of contact
Material surfaces tend to show roughness that has fractal characteristics, and this affects the nature of contacts between surfaces. In particular, as smaller and smaller scales of roughness are added to a model, the areas in contact break up to form larger numbers of smaller contacts. The total area in contact diminishes towards zero. What this means for the constriction resistance is examined...
